Great episode, great series, great characters and writers. I must have seen every episode 20 times or more, and still watch a few episodes every, single night. The only other show that can watch episodes over and over is the honeymooners.
When I was a kid in elementary school, we'd come home and because we lived just a block away from my grandparents and my mom worked, we'd go to their house and get a snack and then we'd watch these reruns, including Hogan's Heroes, McHale's Navy, etc. After about an hour or so we'd get kicked out my my grandma for us to play instead of watching TV.
I just came upon your comment and 100% Agree!👍I still Love to watch HH's Every night as well as other old TV shows! As you said in your comment Great Writing,Scripts, And the Actors and acting was Top Notch! It Beats the Crap out of ANY show on TV today!👍👏
“If Sergeant Schultz has to tear apart the Barracks by taking each nail out with his teeth” ….the look on Shultz face was priceless…I just couldn’t stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lololol
I always liked Bob Crane in his role, and I liked the way he wore his hat. BTW, Crane was on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" ("Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra").
@@nickslomka5502 I agree Get Smart was also funny shows back then had writers that write shows that future generations can appreciate great show's are like the Beatles music fun to listen to forever ( Timeless )
LMAO! As a seven year old kid when this came on, Sunday nights, on CBS, it was the greatest show on tv! And during the same week: Batman, Star Trek, Combat, plenty of westerns, and lots of soapy stuff for mom during the day. Surprising quality for only three broadcast networks at the time.
Do you understand the depth of what you just said? "Surprising quality for only three broadcast networks at the time". 50 years later, and we have been dumbed down by literally hundreds of choices. Everyone vying for your attention & dollar, we have descended to sub-par "entertainment"/reality garbage, home shopping networks, and all sorts of vapid crap. By definition, the more choice/venues, the more devaluation of quality. Back in the day when 3 networks had to vie for your attention, they had to be at the top of their game. I, for one, miss it tremendously.
The fact that there were only three broadcast networks is the reason the quality was high. With only a limited number of shows, studios could more easily find the best talent for cast, crew, writing, and direction.
@@croatianknight1160 Once I was waiting for my mother outside a hair salon, and as I waited, a older woman kind of stumbled by. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she'd just gotten new shoes and was having a hard time in them. A man, oh, about thirty, came up and asked if she needed help walking. She said that would be really nice and he helped her walk all the way down the hill to her car and even put her shopping bags in the back for her. I went on and on and ON about that to Mom when she came out, and she said it was so sad that I had to make such a big deal about it, that it happened all the time when she was a kid, but it wasn't common at all anymore. That just shows how far we've fallen, and TV and music is the same. I jabber forEVER about clean shows, music, that kind of thing, because I just can NOT find them!
@@upthedownescalator630 Well obviously not if you had blonde hair, blue eyes and were a member of the Reich, but if you were a brunette..... forget about it!😘
This show was so incredibly well done. When i was younger it was on UHF at dinner time, and my parents used to let me eat in my room so I wouldn't miss it. I can literally watch this over and over and over again and love every second of it.
i love how schultz knew when the wallet disappeared the prisoners did something ,Klink asked him what he was doing he said "sometimes they " he knows what goes on with them but always ignores it
I took two years of German in high school, beginning in the fall of 1965 when Hogan's Heroes premiered on TV. My German professor looked a lot like Klink and he was as funny as Shultz -- and could speak the lines, "I know nuffink, I see nuffink" just perfectly. The students all loved him.
It is Colonel Backscheider on The Late Inspector General as I've seen him on western television from the 1950s and 1960s. He was active until the late 1980s. He played General von Platzen on this episode. Played by John Dehner (1915-1992)
@Jennifer Landoch He also worked for Hanna-Barbara cartoons in the 1960s, supplying the voice of many cartoon characters. So he was quite busy in the 1960s. 😂
Werner Klemper as Col. Klink and John Banner as Sgt. Schulz were just so funny. As a kid, I could remember my Dad just laughing his ass off while watching Hogan's Heroes!
You know I kinda miss watching these series on TV once a week. It made that particular day of the week kinda neat. Of course that's back in the day when Saturday morning cartoons were around, and Disney was still just on Sunday nights.
I love this series! I know that series finales weren't really a "thing" back then (shows simply ended), but a Hogan's Heroes finale would have been AWESOME! US tanks crashing the gate, Klink & all of the Germans surrendering, Hogan giving Klink a tour of his "operation". Would've been EPIC!
More like to make sure it didn't get planted on him. He says "Sometimes they..." as if he knew the prisoners sometimes plant weird stuff on him and the other German soldiers.
One of my favorites. The actor who plays the Inspector General is superb. The BBC announcer is clearly the voice of Cpl. Peter Newkirk, RAF played by Richard Dawson. As always, Sgt Hans Schultz is special. It's a fun program.
Any show from the 1970s and 1980s out do any crap today. The Waltons, Bonanza, prairie, Hogan's hero's, the whole shabang! Here in NZ we have Jones TV. Idk if anyone has the same, probably do, dunno, but when it's time to go back, I pops me an ice cold beer, and I'm in me happy place bro lmao. I mean with today's happenings and the crap on TV now, Jones TV is king. Take care all my old-school humans. We made it, and we'll keep going.
One of the best shows ever but always funny how they had only one ladder in the tunnels and that one ladder was always used for going to the Barracks, the woods, the dog house and Klinks room. That is one magical ladder lol. And only one tunnel too!
@@100dampf Did you read what I said??? I never ever said one tunnel. BUT we only saw one tunnel. Actually, we saw no tunnels. All we saw was a control room and ONE ladder that was so magical it led them to the woods, ALL the barracks, Klinks room, the dog house, etc etc. That is one very magical ladder they had
@@PRHILL9696 yeah, I read what you said...unless you edit your original comment, it ends with (and I verbatim copy-paste): "That is one magical ladder lol. And only one tunnel too!"
John Dehner was such a great character actor. He was in every classic T.V. show. He played Dean Acheson in the classic movie. The Missiles of October, 1974. With William Devane and Martin Sheen as J.F.K. and R.F.K. great suspense drama. About half the characters in that movie once or twice strarred in Hogan,s Heroes.
He was a prolific radio actor in the 40s and 50s. Starred on Have Gun Will Travel and Frontier Gentleman. Was also on many episodes of Gunsmoke and several other radio shows.
I doubt it. First, they will need to get the right props and costumes, which won’t be cheap. Second, the display of Nazi symbols may be controversial, especially in this day and age where these symbols have been misused and exploited by groups seeking to divide communities and spread mistrust.
They did release this show in Germany, only the script was rewritten where Clink was the hero over the hapless American prisoners. LOL But nobody can beat the original. May reruns live on forever.
@@upthedownescalator630 Maybe, but it wouls be a bery unpopular position. I can not imagine a modern show refraining from making this joke just because a few people could complain. Hell, I can not imagine, say, Jesse Jackson complaining about this joke.
@@thiagodeandrade7081 I wouldn't imagine it either, but they do it all the time. And people chew the heck out of them, especially on RUclips and comments sites like these. I don't see any here, which is good cause it's not worth bitching about!
@@upthedownescalator630 Well, on RUclips you can see everything all the time. Libertarians, Communists, Nazis, Fundamentalists of all stripes... I am just saying I do not think complaining about the aforementioned joke is anywhere near mainstream. I can think issues leftists could have with Hogan's Heroes, but that joke is not one of them.
Lebeau was a concentration camp survivor , and alot of the cast were Jewish , and klink was born in Germany and moved to Los Angeles when his father got a job as the conductor of the Los Angeles orchestra! "If i remember right" ?
Yes, in order to make sure none of the Nazis came across looking too sympathetic and thus showing disrespect to Holocaust survivors, all the chief Nazi roles were played by Jewish actors to ensure proper sensitivity. Including Hochstedder and Burkhalter. And LeBeau's story was incredible. He lost so many family members in the concentration camp; what a courageous man and survivor. He even managed to make a running gag on the show about forgetting his serial number - which was actually tattooed on his arm from being at the camp. I've forgotten the name of the episode where Carter dresses up as Hitler, but if you watch the scene where they all go 'Heil', Lebeau crosses his fingers; he wouldn't make the Nazi salute even as an act. I admired him so much.
4:39 is so inappropriate but it’s so funny, too Hogan: “Carter, Get into a German Uniform. I need another German.” Kinch: “Oh well how about me?” *Pause* Hogan: “Don’t be funny”
So reality is inappropriate? If they had acted like Kinch was too stupid to realize he would stick out like a sore thumb, that would be inappropriate. But they did not. Kinch clearly knows it won't work, but he has an awesome, dry sense of humor.
Col. Klink: "Col. Hogan, where does that voice come from?" Col. Hogan: "England?" Col. Klink: "Yes! You are correct! You can now go free!" Col. Hogan: "Really?" Col. Klink: "No, not really..."
As a German born in 1989 and raised by a German-Jewish foster mother with Jewish ancestors who survived the Holocaust, this is still one of my favourite tv series and I watch it every year... Greetings from Bremen, Germany! The only thing is that I prefer the German dubbing, especially because Colonel Klink's Saxon accent sounds so funny :-)
The biggest giveaway in this series to prove it's all satirical is the manner in which the corporals, Newkirk & LeBeau, treat Staff Sergeant Kinchlowe and Master Sergeant Carter. In the US armed forces, enlisted ranks of E6, (Staff Sergeant & above), are Non-commissioned OFFICER ranks, (Except in the Marine Corps, where the duties of non-comms are given to the Marine at the rank of full corporal, - their rank structure as follows: Private, NO chevron. Private First Class, single Chevron. Lance Corporal, Single Chevron with background field colorized, either olive drab or red depending on which class uniform is being worn.and crossed rifles. Corporal, 2 chevron with colorized back field and crossed rifles. Sergeant, 3 Chevrons with colorized backfield and crossed rifles. Staff Sergeant, 3 Chevrons with colorized backfield and crossed rifles and a single rocker beneath the colorized backfield. Gunnery Sergeant, 3 Chevrons, colorized backfield with crossed rifles, 2 rockers. And above Gunnery Sergeant, things get fairly diverse in the United States Marine Corps, depending upon the Non-Comms E7-E9 ranks specific job within the command structure of the unit in which they serve,- there are more designators, such as the pineapple which signifies the Master Gunnery Sergeant rank, There are also the ranks of Sergeant Major , First Sergeant, and the Singular Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, rank, which is the absolute highest non-commissioned officer rank in the Marine Corps, signified by the 3 Chevrons colorized backfield, 4 rockers, the EAGLE, Globe & Anchor with a star on either side of it in the backfield. Personally, I think that this is the coolest Enlisted Uniform & Rank insignia on ANY Military Uniform in the world! If you ever see the Commandant and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps in their Dress Blues, - you'll never forget it! As for Hogan's Heroes, there is no way any American Sergeant would put up with the bullsh*t that Newkirk & Lebeau dole out to Carter, EVEN IF they're volunteer operatives from foreign services! Colonel Hogan would not have allowed it, primarily because a small unit like this with HUGE RESPONSIBILITIES, would depend upon maintaining a high moral, - nearly impossible understanding such high stress! The corporals would have had to show a lot more respect and reverence for their superior non-comms than they do Carter, whose character is constantly under pressure as the squads munitions expert!
Great episode, great series, great characters and writers. I must have seen every episode 20 times or more, and still watch a few episodes every, single night. The only other show that can watch episodes over and over is the honeymooners.

This is one of the best shows ever aired on television! Thank you for sharing!

John banner was the perfect actor for this role, his Facial expressions were the best.
I loved the way Shultz (when offered or otherwise) would take a cigar gently out of the box then quickly finish the move into his coat pocket😁
I always liked Bob Crane in his role, and I liked the way he wore his hat. BTW, Crane was on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" ("Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra").
He got this role when the producer saw Banner playing a similar part in "36 Hours".

Hogan does not let the war interfere with his life and I enjoy his attitude.😀

I miss this show and shows like it as much as Saturday morning cartoons and baseball. I guess I'm just a bit nostalgic.
Lebeau was a concentration camp survivor , and alot of the cast were Jewish , and klink was born in Germany and moved to Los Angeles when his father got a job as the conductor of the Los Angeles orchestra! "If i remember right" ?
Yes, in order to make sure none of the Nazis came across looking too sympathetic and thus showing disrespect to Holocaust survivors, all the chief Nazi roles were played by Jewish actors to ensure proper sensitivity. Including Hochstedder and Burkhalter.

When klink says for the final time and looks at Hogan, his face says it all, WTF is he going to do now
That was a very engaging 4mins 54secs. Top quality.
One of the best shows EVER....
As a German born in 1989 and raised by a German-Jewish foster mother with Jewish ancestors who survived the Holocaust, this is still one of my favourite tv series and I watch it every year... Greetings from Bremen, Germany!
The only thing is that I prefer the German dubbing, especially because Colonel Klink's Saxon accent sounds so funny :-)
The biggest giveaway in this series to prove it's all satirical is the manner in which the corporals, Newkirk & LeBeau, treat Staff Sergeant Kinchlowe and Master Sergeant Carter. In the US armed forces, enlisted ranks of E6, (Staff Sergeant & above), are Non-commissioned OFFICER ranks, (Except in the Marine Corps, where the duties of non-comms are given to the Marine at the rank of full corporal, - their rank structure as follows: Private, NO chevron. Private First Class, single Chevron. Lance Corporal, Single Chevron with background field colorized, either olive drab or red depending on which class uniform is being worn.and crossed rifles. Corporal, 2 chevron with colorized back field and crossed rifles. Sergeant, 3 Chevrons with colorized backfield and crossed rifles. Staff Sergeant, 3 Chevrons with colorized backfield and crossed rifles and a single rocker beneath the colorized backfield. Gunnery Sergeant, 3 Chevrons, colorized backfield with crossed rifles, 2 rockers. And above Gunnery Sergeant, things get fairly diverse in the United States Marine Corps, depending upon the Non-Comms E7-E9 ranks specific job within the command structure of the unit in which they serve,- there are more designators, such as the pineapple which signifies the Master Gunnery Sergeant rank, There are also the ranks of Sergeant Major , First Sergeant, and the Singular Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, rank, which is the absolute highest non-commissioned officer rank in the Marine Corps, signified by the 3 Chevrons colorized backfield, 4 rockers, the EAGLE, Globe & Anchor with a star on either side of it in the backfield. Personally, I think that this is the coolest Enlisted Uniform & Rank insignia on ANY Military Uniform in the world! If you ever see the Commandant and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps in their Dress Blues, - you'll never forget it!
As for Hogan's Heroes, there is no way any American Sergeant would put up with the bullsh*t that Newkirk & Lebeau dole out to Carter, EVEN IF they're volunteer operatives from foreign services!
Colonel Hogan would not have allowed it, primarily because a small unit like this with HUGE RESPONSIBILITIES, would depend upon maintaining a high moral, - nearly impossible understanding such high stress! The corporals would have had to show a lot more respect and reverence for their superior non-comms than they do Carter, whose character is constantly under pressure as the squads munitions expert!
I was 8 years old and loved this show,
Blooper: In the episode when the staff car smoke grenades go off, the Germans hit the ground right where they discovered the tunnel moments before.
Thanks Metv
Shultz made that show
3:16...look who decided to drop in?!
(get it? get it? get it? snucker-snucker-snucker-snucker!!)
Watched this on TV and loved it
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY WALLET!" 😂😂
remarkable how they did this with a straight face...how many takes it took
on many occasions they always made sure Klink looked good or at the very least not look bad but this one seemed a bit cruel. lol
I believe in this episode they were trying to make sure Klink was not transferred away from the camp.
I am still watching these highlights in 2024.
What about me? Don't be funny! Lol if you do not know your history you won't get this.😂
Irony at it's finest. Klemperer + Bannerman both Jewish
Many of the actors portraying Germans were Jewish.
Also, not Bannerman. His name was John Banner.
Great actors in comedy in there time no one else could play those characters as good they did
This inspector general was on Andy Griffith as the elikir salesman??!! 😅😅
3:14 Look at the reflections in Klink's monocle and you can see lighting equipment.
HOGAN, where is that voice come frommmmm?,,lmao.😂😅😂
Hogan's heroes episodes were so hilarious love theme
LOVE THIS SHOW
All episodes are on Google
Internet Archive's Hogans heroes
Anyone noticed that the Inspector General came out the hole . Perfectly cleaned ?
by the order of the war department Sergeant Carter is hereby promoted to the rank of Sergeant Major
He was actually a lieutenant in the pilot episode.
@@jerrscott6373 i hate how they reduce him to the barracks buffoon by the end of the show such a waste.
hardwire the reduced him to barracks buffoon. The continuity people were asleep at the switch
Incredible episode
Hogan: "I need another German."
Kinchloe: "How about me?"
Too damn funny 😁.
