Been watching this series since I was 7 years old, I am now a glorious 62-year young, and still like this show. I went in during Desert Storm part 1, due to my interest in National Protection. As I found out, war is not a romantic thing. Some of the action I saw was similar to what is seen on this series. But the friends I met and interacted with, were the greatest heroes no matter what their duty station or road they were on. God bless America.
God bless you and thank you for your service and your brothers in arms.
My dad was in the artillery during the war. But never talked about it. He was a veteran of the Pacific theater. We loved to watch Combat with him. When I see scenes of the artillery in these episodes I can understand why my dad’s hearing went first when he got old. The sense of hearing sure takes a brutal beating.
Every Tuesday night at 7:30 !! Let's not forget
12 O'clock High . Another great series . My dad and I who is a decorated WW2 veteran credited with 78 combat missions over occupied France and Belgium and awarded the " Distinguish Flying Cross " would talk about these shows after watching them . He celebrated his 100th birthday last September .
He is and always will be my hero . My mother's father fought with the " Big Red 1"
in WW1 . He wouldn't talk much about it but he was great grandpa and he had a dog that he loved dearly . I miss him .

Thanks for sharing your story. And God bless your dad at a hundred years old!!!
My Grandpa also was with the Big Red 1 in WW1, and my Dad was in the Army on a troop ship heading across the Pacific right at the end of WWII. I wish I would've heard more from both of them about their experiences. You are fortunate your dad is willing to share with you.
My thanks to your family for their service and may they 🙏🏼
I love this show. I watched every episode as an young boy, I was 9 in 1963 and this show was huge! Thank you so much for taking me back 59 years to relive my childhood. 🙂🙂👍👍
Ditto. And thankfully forget so it's mostly new.
Me too.9 in 63 But we dident have tv but Tuesday nights every month was a trip to the local barber (who happened to be my uncle) and got to see some of these great shows .Started me into a lifetime of collecting WWII memorabilia & had to have a Thompson just like the one Saunders carried, Now i am 68 & operate a non profit War Memorial Museum in its 25th year from my collection which is still growing. This great show planted the seed of a lifetime of WWII history & meeting so many of the greatest generation & it is so great to see many of these that i havent seen before.
I was also 9 1963. Combat was my favorite show. It holds a lot up good memories from the old days. I'm so happy to be able to see some of these episodes again and hopefully many more I didn't see. Times have changed and this takes me back to a better time in life, of Innocence. The world has changed so much in a negative way. These episodes take me back to a more innocent time when the world was a nicer place to live in.
You and I both Peter😊. My Dad and I watched it every Tuesday and he said it was fairly factual. He served in Europe in early 1945 as an engineer in the DCLI Cornwall light infantry.
The problem I had was the rapid fire from the sniper with a bolt action rifle 😊
Exciting action packed I can watch episodes all day vic was a great actor never compared to today's garbage tv
We do NOT have actors/ actresses like back in the day. TRAGIC
Garbage is right.
Garbage that's correct. The kids today don't know what good acting is.
The only show that would probably come to this is band of brothers
a one hour movie every week. Great story line and acting. It always holds my interest. I always feel like I'm right there with them. Dean Stockwell was a strange dude.
I used to watch this on TV all the time when I was a kid. Im 67 now .
You don’t see this type of acting anymore. Terrific, realistic, just amazing to me.
The late great Dean Stockwell very good episode one of many, thanks really enjoying these as never seen them before.
Combat was full of suspense. 12 o’ Clock High an adrenaline rush. Loved to watch both.
They can not make shows this good any more. Thanks for posting the best show ever, Combat, power packed with the life lessons and illustrated sermons we need so much in these perilous times, to inspire us to keep on going and to not give up.

If they made this episode today Lawson would have been shot crossing the bridge at the end.
Boy is'nt that the truth.
@@slim420MM if they made this today Lawson would have entered the army as a man, had a sex change and became a woman, committed espionage and later pardoned by a POS liberal president.
I WAS 9 OR 10 YRS OLD THEN now I am 65 yrs & always wanted to be like VIC MORROW * THEN HE WAS TO ME A HERO * to all OUR VETERANS OF ALL WARS YOU ARE MY HEROES !
Combat the best movies series on Vietnam tv channel 7 during 1970 .thanks for sharing again.( ARVN south and US veterans ) thankyou 🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺🇹🇼
A war movie isn't just constant action the tension and thought of snipers Combat does great job
Loved this show as a youngster going up in that time period, and thanks to H&I , I get to watch Combat every Saturday night
As a private, in 1980, I had a friend that resembled Vic Morrow, except that he had a scar that went from his upper left eyebrow down to his chin. He didn't have any friends because everybody was afraid of him. He was a forward observer in Hq. battery 2/39 FA. You and I drank whiskey together. You are my friend forever. Respect!
Dean Stockwell is a fine actor, with a career spanning a remarkable 70-years. What I particularly liked about this episode is how the writers never use heavy-handed preaching, but instead let the actors and the action do the talking, which is the case here. RIP Vic Morrow, one of the most underrated actors... ever.
Blame the SUITS for that. Vic spoke up. Suits felt threatened. From what I read SUITS had Vic followed to see if they could catch him doing anything wrong or questionable!!! Do you believe that???
Great guest stars! Even The Great Mickey Rooney !
@@ralphshelley9586
Yup. Be sure to catch his dramatic performance in the classic Twilight Zone Episode, "The Last Night of a Jockey." Amazing.
YUP. I believe Vic was blacklisted!!!!
Vic was SOOOO underrated!!! I truly believe Vic was blacklisted probably for speaking up when needed.
So great to see these again! Watched with Dad when I was in elementary school. This is a fantastic episode!
I used to watch this show every week with my grandmom in early 70 's... Vic morrow was my hero.
Combat is so realistic and the stories and actors are all good!

This series did such a great job of incorporating actual war footage into their episodes 👍👍👍
Watched the series COMBAT, and I joined combat arms. "Ought to be in Hollywood". Charlie Ranger
That was the good thing about being black and white.
Being filmed in black and white made that possible and seamless.
That show gave me nightmares. Who the hell wants to kill except of course Johnson and the Democrats.
yeah i loved the actual footage gave a touch of realism and added to the show and the actors were so good
I remember watching back in the early 1960's when WW2 was still a recent memory for the men in my family
Dean stockwell in episode 31 was. Exceptional. Spectacular. . i watch. Him as a. Kid in so many roles . god bless for. Such entertainment. He brought to our home tv sets . miguel olba.
This show and Sgt. Saunders is where I first fell in love with the Thompson.
I remember watching these episodes when I was a kid in elementary school...man how time fly's.. from a kid to a grown up old man and they are still the best war movies on classic television channels..they just never get old watching them.
we went outside the next day and tried to inmate that episodes
I have a t shirt and lunch box of them
My favorite show of all time every Tuesday night at 730 from 1962 to 1967 have the complete series on DVD
I watched every episode i could when i was a little chap.
Two of the original squad are still around, Jack Hogan who played Kirby, 93, and Conlon Carter who played Doc, 88. As of Dec, 2022.
42:12 look at the bullet hole in the turret. It falls off. Looks like a sticker. Love this show. Whoever put these up, thank you for your time and effort !
Thanks for posting. I always enjoy Dean Stockwell even when he was a child actor.
I the series combat. Back in 1962 . When it first started. I was 14 years old. My favorite TV show after bonanza and surf side six. Vic morrow of combat and Troy donahue surf side six. Those TV programs of the 60' are better. Than today's. Nothing but crime. It brings back memories. I'm 73 old now
This was my favorite show as a kid followed by 12 O'Clock High. Those were the days of great Was TV series! Absolutely loved this show then and now.
same here! the loner types, you gotta love them in combat!
The 12 O'Clock producers fired Robert Lansing because they thought he was too old for the part. The ratings never recovered. Idiots.
me too. also Man from UNCLE.

Lived it in the army for 20yrs. Loved it, it's a different army now. I retired 24yrs ago.
Thank you for your service
Remember watching this everyday on Goodlife tv network when I was in elementary glad they have it on here to revisit
Combat takes me back to my childhood 1970...
I was a devoted follower of this show when I was in High School in the 60;s
Watched combat in the UK, back in the 1960s as a wee boy. After it was finished with my friends we would go down to the wood's an play soldiers magic days.
Combat! was certainly remarkable for the stories and the skill of its actors. Yet, it also attracted some of the greatest established talent of the day as well as emerging artists for guest appearances.
AGREED. In this way, it was much like The Twilight Zone, a series that launched too many great careers to count. As the old saying goes, "They don't make 'em like this anymore."
X
Kind of like the beginning of the twilight episode movie with vic morrow which I've always thought was the best of the twilight zone movie .
Miss these guys like crazy. Hello Jack, Lowell, Cinlan. God Bless
Conlan. Sorry. Hope all is well 😁😁😁
I'M pretty sure I was about, or just turned, 5 years old when "Combat," just came out. 1961-1962 was its' full year! First full year that is. Anyway, I was glued to that war story series till up about 1966? I think the last full season was 1965-1966.
The tv series ran about 4-4 1/2 years, and amid into the gut of the Vietnam War! With that going on, along with "McHales Navy," and "The Rat Patrol," WW2 tv series were obsolete . TV was bring war home live from every war correspondent , from every news channel, from a hell of lovely vegetation , and really HOT IN TEMPERATURE AND ORDNANCE. A place called South-Vietnam. Great war reality tv. WOW! A good live cast or opposite!
Growing up I watched this show with the rest of the family. I started my appreciation for the M1 Garrand because of it. It took many years but I finally got a chance to shoot one. Funny how it just didn't sound the same as in the TV show. :)
Wow !! The end music was so moving. I cried.
Dean Stockwell was just perfect for this part. He can really use his combat skills and courage. The Krauts don't know what hit them. I remember this one from my childhood. Thank you for putting this together for us.
Am watching Maverick was was a favorite
@@patrickleonard113 stop lying...yuh watching Combat lol
Time goes fast don't it? One minute we're kids next were old
Can you imagine if Arnold Stang was sicced on the Krauts? They would have died from laughing!
amazing show still entertains people today, never missed it when I was a kid in the sixties
Two episodes run every Saturday on antenna tv here in Cincinnati
Probably my most favorite episode of my most favorite TV show and has been, since I was a teenager, when it first came on. I was 14 in 1963.
Kirby is the only one from the squad still with us. Life is so short..
@@m42037 both docs, Billy and Kirby are still with us!!!
@@m42037 both docs, Kirby and Billy are still with us. God bless
@@kathymcmahon6582 Good to know, life is so short 😑
The two stars had tragic endings. Vic Morrow on the set of a movie in 1982. And Rick Jason killed himself in 2000.
damn, I LOVED this show as a kid all of those years ago ! ... even had the Combat board game ..
I always love every series of this film
In Vietnam , I still remember every Tuesday Evening, TV show " Combat " but I didn't know English and didn't understand the film .
Thanks Ad! Now I watch and try to understand the film .
❤❤❤❤
Wow, what a treat! Dean Stockwell in his 20's. What a long career from the 1940's up to the present. Between his movies (Paris Texas, Air Force One etc) and the well known series (Quantum Leap) Dean Stockwell has stood the test of time as few others have. On another note regarding the terrain in this series, while it does not resemble the landscape fought over in Normandy towards Paris and beyond to the German border, there are areas of southern France that could come closer to matching this type of terrain. It rains or drizzles so much over here in the north, the landscape cannot be arid. Finally, Vic Morrow teaches us what team building is all about. This épisode could almost be
a training film in team cohesion and keeping it that way. Merci pour le téléchargement!
Iain Schofield He also starred with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Kathryn Grayson in the 1945 musical "Anchors Aweigh".
He was Jack Gretzky in Miami Vice.

@@ergot57 Actually, I take back what I wrote 7 years ago. While I left Brittany 7 years ago to return to "North" America, I have been told by expert witnesses that there has been an ongoing drought for many months in Western Europe. (Here Brittany) The landscape is very arid and almost tinder dry.
He was in a prep school film where Leo G Carroll is his football coach.
I remember watching this as a kid. There were LOTS of war series on TV back then!
Nothing like Combat though!!!
I remembered when I was a child at early 80s sitting along with my father watching combat series leading with Vic morrow and rick Jayson, and now when my father's gone it's remind me this historic movie and gave me a lot of sense and importance every watching it.
I’m from South American me and my grandpa use to watch combat every week
We where so proud of Americans we always sheer for them
Those are the days where Americans love their country
Now most Americans hate their country
Only the liberals.
We just hate Trump and his henchmen.
I hate liberal socialist communists with no plan except tax everyone to death so they can collect a monthly stipend and sit around on their lazy fat asses and bitch about Trump who has done more for Americans than any president since Eisenhower.
I REMEMBER this show in 63 , just before they shoot JFK in Nov. That same year. Wow! Thank you. Great show ! They don't make GREAT ACTORS like that today!!! D.P.
Nope, they don't. No good writers anymore either.
GR
Thanks for posting. I am 60 years old and watch the original episodes. Have not seen Saunders and the group in 45 years and have watch all of the first 4 year episodes. Don't remember them except the one with Brandon De Wilde and the one Hanley and the squad help the woman with aid of the Germans. Always remembered Saunders was the man. Cant believe he didn't go on to bigger things. Everytime I see Hanley leaving early, I say off to the shooting range. What a deal he had
Wow This is a awesome serie! Thanks 👍🏻🌹🌹🇱🇺
Watching COMBAT was my motivation to take German language classes during all three years of High School in Davenport IOWA (1967-1970)
a skill set that served me well during my cold war tour of duty in Nuremberg [1976-1979]
I learn German watching Hogan's Heroes. :)
@@bobbymoore9224 😂
This was my favorite show as a kid in the 60s. Loved Vic Morrow.
That episode is copied in Forest Gump with Lt Dan. Dean Stockwell is a man who had a grandfather killed in Spanish American War, Father in WWI and figures he is next...
Everybody who likes COMBAT likes Vic Morrow. He was always such a Badass😂
I've been a fan since it came on TV in the sixty's
I really love this show! The theme song with the explosions and the announcer with gravely voiced saying COMBAT! brings back a lot of good memories!
It's gravelly, not gravely.
Yes indeed I agree!
จ
Are you kin to Dick Peadbody?
Sound of an M1 Garand to me.
RIP, Vic! My favorite actor of the time.
So very missed 😭😭😭
The greatest show in TV history!
Thanks for sharing. Watching from European Union, Lithuania.
Ich schaue aus die Europäische Union, Litauen.

The great episode.
Getting back my memory during kids years in this 2019, Combat is the best war series on those years, RIP Vic Morrow
Totally agree
@@leezeidel3630 I always looked forward to the Combat shows as a kid.
Yes
Kirby is the only one left with us from the squad. Life is too short

I watch the shows I want to be 8 years old all over again
Thank you so much for the memories. I love all this. The USA needs to realized this but it will not unfortunately. God please bless America!
If this show played on ABC on Tuesday today at 730 it would be a huge hit today!
The problem is that ABC would never play this on their Network. They are now owned by the WOKE Klan. Sad but true.
There will NEVER be another show like this. Excellent acting and so realistic!!! Looks like it was just filmed today. Love Vic and the guys. Sorely missed 😭😭🙂
La mejor serie del mundo gracias totales 👏👏👏👍👍👋
As a kid. I use to watch this and afterwards I wanna go play with my army men. Lol!
The show was ahead of its time. Good leadership, they tried to show good squad tactics within the limits of being an entertainment, their uniforms and how it was worn was correct.
Watched this show as a kid. Great episode on team work.
Thank you so much for uploading this classic combat movie, i love watching this especially Vic Morrow
Delicious man!!!
In 1963 I went with my mom to receive Rhone Poulenc rep from Paris and begin importing Chlorpromazine. This inspired me to learn French from a War bride. Everybody thought I was trying to be like Caje.
"Combat!" is one of the few shows that have stood the test of time.
It's so hard to believe that Morrow would now be 84.
Indeed. The longest-running WW2 show of it's kind, and one that actually gave the Germans credit at the end. Although, being from a German family, I picked up some of the fake words that they convinced viewers would pass as real German, LOL I agree though, it was a good show and in a class by itself.
Tampa Bay Lightning Rick Jason and Vic Morrow would not have wanted to grow old in America as it is now. Their deaths were quick.
Stories of selfless courage in a righteous cause will always be appreciated by most of us. We enjoy watching a time when Men were Men without apologizing or denial. When the going got tough, the tough got going.
The fast-paced action has held up well, a lot of old shows seem very slow now, but these guys aren't messing around
I pray Vic is in Heaven. He didn't have an easy life.
jack Hogan is a damn good actor,seen him in westerns and this is his showcase,this show was glued together with the crew,it clicked and me and my dad never missed it,dad was all over the war,Rommel to Germany to Italy,he said the Rommel fight was filthy,more ways than one
Jack is still alive 🙂
@@m42037 yes thank god he is tremendous actor,i'd like to tell him myself,god bless him for entertaining us
Hawaii. Afterward, he left to do construction in hawaii.
I think I can speak for anyone watching these Combat episodes that Sgt. Saunders especially, but the regular squad of white rook under Lt. Hanley - I am proud to call them "FRIENDS" guys like these you can count on
Musbnice51-I was 11 y/o in 1962 when I first started watching COMBAT !.
My Dad was a WW SGT and fought the Nazis in France and Germany and told me all about the War.
He earned both The Bronze Star and The Purple Heart which I now have in a frame in my office.
I remember waiting for Tuesday nights on WABC so I could watch a new episode of COMBAT! on our black and white TV.
(Color TV wasn’t invented yet and we only had 7 TV stations.)
--------------
Then on Wednesday mornings I always got to my 6th grade class in NYC at least 15 minutes early so my friends and I in what we called our “COMBAT! CLUB” (no girls allowed) could discuss the previous nights episode.
Everyone’s favorite character was SGT. Saunders, the gritty no nonsense field leader and his cool machine gun. On occasion Lt. Hanley would lead the patrol.
Things were so simple back then…no electronic devices…..None.
The only exception was when someone brought in a small transistor radio in October so we could take turns going to the boys room and listen to see if the Yankees were winning in the World Series and report back the score to the “Combat Club “ members who was winning.
Now, I’m 71 with two beautiful married Daughters and I have Grandchildren too.
I just finished watching two episodes from season 4 of COMBAT! and I loved it.
I have the complete DVD set of ALL of the COMBAT!
episodes.
I love when they had a two, three or four part episodes and you had to wait a whole week to see the next episode. It Was GREAT.
--------------
In the warm weather after dinner, my friends and I would go outside to play.
I remember my Mother telling me to: “Make sure to be home Before the street lights went on”.
Simple. No cell phones, no computer games and we had to use our brains to make up games like,
Jonny On The Pony, Red Rover, Red Rover and of course Scully and Ring-A-
Leaveo .
The 50’s and early 60’s were some of the best times of my life.
Get the complete DVD set of COMBAT, you’ll love it.
My second favorite character was Kirby because he was always getting into trouble and got yelled at by SGT. Saunders 😮.
That has to be the best theme song ever. I like how they play a soft slow version at the end of the episode.
Good series back in the sixties..along with the gallant men!!!
Oh how I LOVED Combat! I lived to watch that as a boy! I played army daily and if the weather was poor I got out out the little guys on the carpet
Doug Chaney even though I never saw Combat growing up ( I'm only a teenager) I too played with the little green fellas. probably not the quality kind, but those were nice days.
Your 'little green guys' were probably made in China.
Yep, always used to play army out in the woods, camo gear and all.
For me as a kid from the 90's it was Indiana Jones all the way. I watched the last crusade like every day.
The rest of my life has been a search to find similar viewing, Now i can only watch westerns and war movies.
(i may make exceptions for crime/noir/caper/detective/gangster/spy films)
happy to have discovered Combat! and Vic Morrow.
well did you join up with the military? I watched combat myself and joined the army also married a soldier
Same here. I had the Timmy Toys plastic soldiers.
Combat and the Rat Patrol where the best series ever.💨💨💨
Rat Patrol sucked!
@@christopherkalble4373 it was good for its time you had to be there.
Plus my mother wanted to watch The Lucy Show.
Still Spectacular ! This Series was as good as watching "The Longest Day" 10x over.
Budget was obviously much smaller, one a Big Screen Event, (Great Movie), and the other a made for Television Series. The scenes are about as realistic as can be, and I do enjoy seeing the errors left in the film (can), like the Wagon or Van driving by a Battle scene, for about .5 of a second, it is fun. Almost every episode I find has the intensity of "Saving Private Ryan" (Not a bad Movie), the grunge and grit of "Stalag 17" (Fantastic Movie), and the endings aren't so bad.
Memories of watching Combat with my dad and brother.
One of the good things about this show it's that it's not all a shoot 'em up kind of program. There's always a good story line behind it
I read several yrs ago the combat series was based quite a bit on actual events.
A deep and dramatic series into the mind of man.
Like a stage, frequently the same ditch, farmhouse, Apple orchard, French village, tree-lined road. But like a stage it is the actor who makes the show. The actors in Combat were superb and worked so well together.
lol, always the same bridge in the same town on the same road.
the main guys (almost) never die.
The Germans always have British or American machine guns and tanks.
but i love it.
matt burnett after awhile, a road is a road, a bridge is a bridge, and there's always 1 more hill...
Good actors have the show indeed
Agree and Vic Morrow was one of the best.
River bridge. Your absolutely correct it's the actor's and everything else that makes this production one of the best if not the best. Every episode is like a quality movie it sucks you right in. I've been binge watching and at some point I've got to Google who what and where. I have noticed the same German officer from Rat Patrol is in some of these Combat episodes. He doesn't really even have to change caracter.
I remember watching this show in my country in the early seventies, fell in love with it. Glad to see episodes here on RUclips.
Dean Stockwell, a great man and a great actor.
I agree especially in Long Days Journey into Night.
@@atreb56 I was amazed he started so young has had such a acting career I saw him on quantum leap I like looking for his tv stuff and movies he's done so many different types .
Dean was so young then. Billy, Kirby, and both doc's are still alive!!! God Bless them
This combat movie is very good that I have ever seen here. Thank for who made this movie
Great episode. Stockwell does a perfect acting job. You don't see Saunders offering a cigarette to someone very often so that ending was special.
Nice observation. They ended the episode with a gesture, which said more than any speech could.

You are correct. He got it from his brother that was a Marine in the Pacific.

I remember joining the Boy Scouts and had an ex DI as a scoutmaster. Taught us drill and ceremony and also took us camping all the time. I went to Army-Navy stores all the time and bought everything i could afford from the money I made off of my paper route! I miss the 60's!
Enjoyed it. Has been many years since I saw an episode.
Thanks. Peace.
I am in my sixties daddy was a paratrooper and i was a soldier also. Love the show.
This must be a very small platoon, one understrength squad.
Got to love Kirby when he said to Lawson "after you superman".

Combat! was a great success on television during the Vietnam War because it didn't glorify war. Nevertheless, my Father a WW2 veteran who fought in Europe, couldn't watch. There were too many memories for him. I'm a fan from my grade school days who recently found Combat! on the Heroes & Icons (H&I) station Saturday nights along with Rat Patrol and 12 O'clock High reruns. It's my guilty weekend pleasure.
I saw Rick Jason in Clarksville tennessee years ago and he was very nice and gave me his autograph
I personally liked Lawson's style. He got the sniper and the machine gun nest in the barn. The guy was good as a loner.
I watched these combat films from TV when I was about 8 years old in Vietnam while my country was in war.
Another wonderful episode that I did not know, Ariadne! Sweet memories of my childhood! Thank you for this new wonderful post! Kisses from Brazil!
Has anyone else noticed that some of the episode titles are oddly named, as this one is? Loved the series then and still do...
