      Maybe it just wasn't marketed correctly. For one thing you knew how lame stars displaying their talents were.

Like skydiving without a parachute or mating a brood mare to a gelding. And jumping the shark with song-and-dance episodes of a TV series undeniably falls in the same category. At least as far as I'm permanently concerned.

    The reason Hogan's Heroes was successful was that it was a parody of life in a POW camp, not a concentration camp. Besides, all four main Germans- Col. Klink, Sgt. Schultz, Maj. Hochstetter, and Gen. Burkhalter- were played by Jewish actors- Werner Klemperer, John Banner, Howard Caine, and Leon Askin- and Cpl. LeBeau was played by a Holocaust survivor, Robert Clary. It didn't try to make light of the horrors of Nazi Germany. It showed five Allies trying to sabotage the German war effort by any means necessary. Werner Klemperer even insisted on having Col. Hogan and the boys triumph over the Germans in every episode or he wouldn't have done the show.

If anything, do it how "The Simpsons" did things have a show then advertise if popular enough. Heck, "Dennis the Menace" was used on Dairy Queen ads and "Peanuts" has been used a lot. Examples for the second include, MetLife and Cedar Point; just to name several.

    IMO, "Heil Honey I'm Home" was a decent satire. The basic premise certainly would've worked as a sketch on Saturday Night Live. Now, maybe turning the idea into a series was stretching it, but I'm thinking the problem was having Hitler as the main character. Norman Lear must've realized this, so he turned Hitler into Archie Bunker, and the result was the ground-breaking show "All in the Family".
    By the way, anybody curious about the one episode of "Heil Honey I'm Home" that aired can find it on RUclips.

    • @christophergraewin3992
      @christophergraewin3992 5 лет назад +8

Plus Frey had a great stint on Wiseguy. RIP.

    Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos was actually cancelled IN THE MIDDLE of the show! The owner of Australia wide TV station Channel 9 - billionaire Kerry Packer - famously called the network, from his home, part way through the show and ordered the staff to "get that shit off the air". They proceeded to announce that there were technical difficulties, and started running an episode of Cheers instead. Kerry Packer then banned Doug Mulray, who was the host of the show, from ever appearing on Channel 9 again, though he did so after Packer died...

A 1970's sitcom called "Snip" (inspired by the Warren Beatty rom-com called "Shampoo") that would've starred David Brenner and post-MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Leslie Ann Warren. But, apparently, the network censors considered the show too potentially racy. So, it was cancelled without ever being telecast anywhere in the US (not even first-run syndication).

    Wow...Public Morals! I vaguely remember that Steven Bochco attempt at a sitcom, which was technically a spin-off of NYPD Blue, with the crossover character of John Irvin (Bill Brochtrup). I live in New Zealand, so we got a number of the episodes that were never aired in America. That happens a lot with American shows...cancelled and dumped in the US, but the all the episodes are screened in other countries.

    They should’ve kept freaks and geeks, that was a good show but taken down after 18 episodes sadly...

      Everyone left for bigger roles. Especially Franco he was gone. Phillips and Cardellini wanted out too.
