I'd watch Hogan's Heroes before about 95% of the other crapola that has ever come out of Hollyweird. Not that Hogan's Heroes is particularly good, but it does have a few clever and comedic characters.
Worst shows of all time:
Jersey Shore
PeeWees Playhouse
Maury Povitch
Jerry Springer
Big Brother
American Idol
Dancing With the Stars
Meet the Osbournes
The Ropers
Entertainment Tonite/Access Hollywood/Byron Allen/Made in Hollywood - anything along the infotainment theme
The Hills
Urkel
I could go on. Plenty more shows worse than Hogan’s Heroes.
It was my understanding that most American POWs in Germany were treated decently, about as expected from any POW camp.
It was the Japanese POW camps which were monstrous. I knew 2 Americans who were Japanes POW’s, and I cant even repeat the treatment that they got, that they saw.
