Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7I own this disc, and the Klemperer-conducted performances of these symphonies are among the best out there, even if the recording of the 5th is in mono.

Why in the heck can't they produce shows like this any more? Shows that have frim moral rooting and/or are very funny on the surface but with keen intellectual undertones? What the heck has happened to the television industry?
Hogans Heroes, Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, The Real McCoys, The Carol Burnett Show, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Gumsmoke, Sea Hunt, The Jack Benny Show,
The Three Stooges, Our Gang.....very little on tv today can compare. When I see reruns of these shows today, I see how much more went into the script writing than when I first saw them.

"Fran Drescher was born in 1957 and HH went off the air in 1971. She would have been 14 max..."
Another Drescher fan I take? Not to worry, we are legion indeed.
You will note, however, that the movie Owl speaks of above was televised in 1979. Thus making Fraulien Drescher a rather tight and saucy 21-22 years old.
Although her patented laugh was not used in that appearance (non speaking role, she brought out 8 litres of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen to the gang and minced away) she definitley caught the eye of more than a few industry execs.
The rest, as they say, is history.

I'm sure someone else pointed out that more than a few of the actors on that show had bad experiences with the real nazis.

Hi Wireman
Fran Drescher was in the Christmas Reunion special of 1979. This would make her 21 or 22 years of age. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing that.

To: Borges
Askin was born into a Jewish family in Vienna You know, maybe it's the one true Hollywood irony thing: have you ever noticed the number of movie and TV Nazis portrayed by Jewish actors?
Then again, I imagine German actors would be fearful to take -- or worse, by typecast in -- such a role. That might be perceived as doing it too well.

"That was Major Hochstetters' line."
My favorite Hochstetter line was "Who is this man?," which would be ignored (usually by Hogan and Klink)and re-stated until Hochstetter blew his cool and screamed it. Even after Hochstetter and Hogan interacted in several episodes, whenever Hogan walked into Klink's office, Hochstetter would ask, suspiciously, "Who is this man?" I loved it when Hochstetter and Burkhalter would mix it up. Great show.

I can't think of a better parody than a Jewish actor playing an incompetent Nazi-era German general.And Robery Clary (LeBeau) also had personal experience with the NAZIs as well.
I suppose that one of the best ways to belittle evil is to make fun of it.

Turning 97 seems to be bad for some mens health doesn't it? I told my wife the Eddie Albert had died at the age of 99. She asked me, "What did he die of?" To which I replied, "He died of being 99!"
My ribs are still sore where she elbowed me.
