It’s not making fun of it, the show is very tasteful. And there actually were real behind-the-fence operations going on in WWII. Not of this magnitude of course, but there were activities.
But yeah, there is a huge difference between concentration camp and POW camp. I saw an old interview with Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) and when asked about that he stressed the distinction very strongly.
Anyway, this is probably my second favorite old tv show. It’s really great.
Seriously though, I love Hogan's Heroes. My best friend introduced me several years ago, and I fell in love immediately. Newkirk is definitely my favorite character, but I harbor a special affection for LeBeau as well, because he's French.

I love Hogan's Hero. Only they do treat females a little ahem callously.

Hard to pick a character, but the best actors are Bob Crane and Werner Klemperer. Their chemistry is stellar and their deliveries are absolutely hilarious!
I think it's time to bump this thread again! Calling all Hogan's Heroes fans who didn't get to post previously, or have more to share!
To me, this is a show that I can watch over and over again and still enjoy. There's something really engaging about the characters and the humour. Some shows have episodes that blend together, but to me these still each stand distinctive.
Excellent! I just saw the one...which is why we keep you around, bookworm. Though now that I think about it, I do remember a super old thread with a posts from Jonathan (among others.) I always loved his Sergeant Schultz avatar.
