Poll question: Favorite 60's military sitcom. |
|
There were a few and I loved McHales Navy.
I beleive that Sgt. Bilko was in the 50's.

Too bad Bob Crane's killer never got to answer for killing him.

3. Of those mentioned I would have to go with Hogan |

But, jeez, it gave the impression that a POW camp was full of fun and hijinks.

9. Have you seen Stalag 17? ...I think it is 17! |
|
Hogan's Heros was based on this movie. It isn't nearly as silly as Hogan's Heros. Actually, it is a really good film.
:hippie:

16. Stalag 17, great movie. |
|
You're right. The even had the precursor to Sgt. Shultz in that movie right down to the robust physique. I don't know if William Holden won an oscar for that movie but he should have.

5. I had a crush on Hogan |
|
when I was little.:loveya:
An interesting factoid: Robert Clary who played LeBeau was an actual Auschwitz survivor. I went to a lecture by him once, and he was pretty incredible.

Wow, I cannot believe McHale's Navy is getting it's ass kicked so badly.
Hogan's Heroes was a great show, too.

You forgot to mention " Ensign O'toole", some light weight fluff about a young Officer on a submarine.

10. "Eeeeeet Eeeeeeeez Ballooooooooooon!" |

Sorry...I have a soft spot for "F-Troop"! From that classic theme to the post-modern, hyper-capitalistic relationship between the Hokawees (the original name of the tribe in the pilot was the Fokawees, as in what the "f*ck are we"?) and O'Rourke and Agarn. Kinda smacks of the whole casino thing goin' right now.
I loved that show!
Second place?
SCHULTZ: I know no-thing! No-thing!
LEBEAU: Apple Strudel Schultz?...(WAVES THE STEAMING PASTRY UNDER SCHULTZ'S NOSE)
SCHULTZ: Well...perhaps I know a leeetle something...
Gotta love that conniving (and closet-freaky) Hogan.

11. "Was there any others........." |
|
Although the story line wasn't always about the military, I Dream of Jeannie was in the periphery of the military world. Darren was in the Air Force.

I had to rely on memory. And that can be a dangerous thing.
