CLASSIC TV
ON DVD:
 Hogan's
Heroes
This was an enormously popular program when it aired from 1965 - 1971,
and hot in daytime syndication until the end of the seventies. Like Gilligan's
Island, Hogan's Heroes was a part of the afternoon TV-babysitter that
so many parents employed. And Hogan's Heroes is one of the hottest
selling DVD sets in the nation right now, so what does that tell you?
A German concentration camp might seem like an odd locale for a comedy,
but this was, after all, the era of witches, Catwomen, families lost in
space and bottled up genies.
The pilot episode (and the first broadcast) was shot in black and white,
the rest of the series in full color. And what rich color it is, CBS did
a first rate restoration job for this collection.
Werner Klemperer as Col. Klink and John Banner as Schultz constituted
one of the great comedy duos in TV history. (Banner died a few years after
Hogan went off the air, but not before starring in another funny but short-lived
sitcom, The Chicago Teddybears. Let's have that on DVD.)

Hogan's Heroes on
DVD
Plot Outline The inmates of a German World
War II prisoner of war camp conduct an espionage and sabotage campaign
right under the noses of their warders.
Plot Synopsis: Colonel Hogan leads a ragtag
band of POW's caught behind German lines in this popular television
comedy. The bumbling Germans give Hogan and his crew plenty of opportunities
to sabotage their war efforts. Colonel Klink is more concerned with
having everything run smoothly and avoiding any trouble with his superiors
(especially anything that might result in his being reassigned and sent
to the front) than with being tough on Hogan and his fellow prisoners.
