Hogan was such a timeless classic because it was just a really funny show. There's nothing overly sexual, violent, political, vulgar or dated of its time. You don't have to think while watching Hogan's Heroes. It was just laughing at the absurdity of it all with very lovable characters and top shelf casting.
I think a proper ending to the show would have been the Germans surrendering at the end of the war, and Hogan and the prisoners showing Colonel Klink, Sargent Schulz, General Burkhaulter, and Major Hoffstetter the underground tunnels and what went on behind their backs.
My dad loved this show, he was in the US Army in WWII as a Ranger/Scout often behind enemy lines in France and Germany. He also helped liberate German extermination camps and I realize Hogan’s Hero’s was a POW camp not an extermination camp. He never spoke disparagingly of the German soldiers or civilians, just the German leaders at the time.
Schultz will always be my fav I love all of the cast but the scenes with Sgt Schultz especially in this vid where Crane’s feeding Banner cake and them cracking up will always make me laugh XD

Trivia: Remember the repeated gag where Colonel Klink scraped horribly on his violin? Actually, Werner Klemperer was a world famous violinist, and would go on to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, after his dad, Otto Klemperer, retired.

@@shaneturner500 That's correct. A friend of mine in Germany watched it with his WWII dad. His dad didn''t care for it, but allowed his son to watch it. Over there it's known as Our Caged Heroes. My friends dad was a Panzer officer who served his full combat "career" on the Eastern Front.

I agree with you 💯%! I do the same thing! 👍 My favorite characters are Col Hogan, Sgt Kintchloe and Sgt Carter! I feel bad for Carter cause he does mess up or forget things, but he is cool especially when he is dressed up like Hitler 👍 and when he makes his bombs 💣
Raymond Driggers, he’s the only one of the original cast members still alive. Kenneth Washington, who took Ivan Dixon’s place, is still with us, but, of course, he was not of the original cast.
I agree. I was lucky enough to chat with Larry Hovis (Carter) and Leon Askin (Burkhalter) online and even got autographed photos of them. But now sadly both of them are deceased. And just recently I sent a note to actress Marlyn Mason, who was a guest star in a couple of HH episodes. She sent back a nice note telling me how fun it was working on the set and how Robert Clary (LeBeau) had choreographed a song and dance number for her on the show.
@@jenpeterson3712 I saw on METV when Robert Clary had passed away. I think he was the last of the original cast to pass away. The guy who took Ivan Dixon's place may still be alive, but he was only on the show in the last season.
Interesting story....Werner Klemperer and Bob Crane became very good friends during the show. One of the gifts Crane gave Klemperer was a new car. When Crane was murdered in 1978, Klemperer never drove that car again. Also, all the "Germans" on the show were Jewish. They made the Nazis look foolish as payback. Even "Major Hochstetter" was an American Jewish bluegrass player, who was in the US Navy during WW II in the Pacific.
John Banner "Sgt. Schultz" was an airborne infantryman in the 101st Airborne he left a Staff Sergeant. He fled Germany in 1933. Werner Klemper was an actor with the USO during the war and entertained the troops in Europe. Robert Clary was imprisoned in Auschwitz after being taken from his home and family in Paris back in 1941. Also Klemper and Banner are Germans as well as Jewish. No need to seperate the ethnicity as integration is the course of humanity. Dont divide only include.
@@Gravelgratious Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) was also a German Jew who escaped Germany & fought for the United States against Nazi Germany in WW2 in the US Army Air-Corps
In 1942, Banner enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, underwent basic training in Atlantic City and became a supply sergeant.[3][4] He even posed for a recruiting poster.[4] He served until 1945.[1]
I like some of the Bloopers better then most shows. Hogan's heroes was a favorite as well as other comedies and some dramas from the sixties and seventies. A lot of the funny stuff stayed on the cutting room floor, but glad that someone had the good sense to pick it up.
Two shows I grew up on about ww2, Rat Patrol and Hogan’s Heroes. On my channel, they played back to back starting at 8 pm on Wednesday. My guitar lessons ended at 745 and dad burnt rubber so we didn’t miss the opening credits.
The cigar looks like a double figurado which means it's tapered at both ends-- wrapped at the foot instead of having exposed filler leaf. It's not easy to light even for those familiar with cigars. And table lighters never work! I don't remember this episode, but I know that later in the series normally wrapped cigars were used. Someone evidently saw and corrected the problem.
Don’t mean to sound like a liar but my grandpa knew & Boxed(lost to) Burt Reynolds’s a long time ago! I forget how they met but my Meema has a picture of them And you couldn’t tell the difference who’s who. It’s on his obit from when he passed away 2-3 years ago his name was Robert Noel McGrath
I've seen that "worst series ever" designation, and am flabbergasted. Can anyone say "Hello Larry" (I don't even know if it was bad, but Johnny Carson always lampooned it)? Not to mention any of the modern "reality T.V." crap. Hogan (the show) was brilliant, with so many funny lines, and characters so memorable for their quirks, idiosyncrasies, facial expressions, etc....and they did over 30 episodes per season! Try maintaing that caliber of comedy/material today!
Believe it or not, there was a British sitcom called "Heil Honey, I'm Home." You can watch 2 or 3 episodes of this horror on TH-cam. It's an archetypal family situation comedy depicting Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and their wacky neighbors. It makes " My Mother, the Car" look brilliant. (It wasn't.)
My father-in-law fought the Japanese un WWII and HATED this show. He was sent to the Occupation Army in Germany right after VJ Day and saw first hand the things Hitler had ordered against prisoners. He never forgave CBS for putting on such a "disrespectful" show. I loved the show, but when I was older, I never understood how Robert Clary of all people, could be on Hogan's Heroes. He had been in a concentration camp as a young man- how could you go back and relive that time, week after week? On the whole, tho, I think it was a brilliant show and good entertainment.
@@tamerawaltman4115 I can understand that - your father seeing first hand horrors of the war, now juxtaposed with a comedy. It also was only 20 years after WWII, so still fresh in many minds. In terms of Robert Clary, I imagine he adopted the same position as all the major German Officer characters - who were all Jewish. Werner Klemperer would only play the part if the Germans were made to be idiots. From Robert Clary's viewpoint, I imagine he thought he could remain bitter/angry, or enjoy spoofing the whole thing.
+norelco pc He was also the antagonistic game show host in The Running Man that stared Arnold Schwarzenegger. He even had the best comeback to Arnold's famous "I'll be back!" line
This show was excellent and so enjoyable. The cast had excellent chemistry with each other. It's saddening that many in today's society have become so narrow minded and thinned skinned that they can't enjoy a simple comedy without worrying about pc. CBS cancelled the show while its ratings were still good. Dunces.
If you have cable TV it has a station called "Me TV" and they play Hogan's Heroes My family had to stop our cable TV subscription because it was to expensive for us so now i watch it on an application called Kodi But i love this show it is one of my favorites
I will NEVER forget me giggling while describing the show to my young teens several years ago....they looked at me like I was bat shit crazy 😂😂😂 THEn I said it was a comedy! 😂😂 their faces 😱😱😱
I was born in 87 and I'm german and, as many other germans, I love the show. Although the german version is in some places cut and the conversations not literally translated, for example if there is an air raid somewhere and klink gets a phone call about it, in the german version they invented his nude-cleaning household maid who calls him and complains that she doesn't have enough stockings. It's a bit more comical.
When I was in grade school this was a weekly favorite! I miss those days. I always wanted to meet the guy who originally pitched the idea of a sitcom set in a German POW camp to Jewish dominated industry. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.
On December 6, 2000, actor Werner Klemperer died at the age of 80 in New York. The son of the distinguished Jewish-born, German orchestra conductor Otto Klemperer and singer Johanna Geisler, Werner Klemperer became almost a household name in the United States in the 1960s for his role as Col. Wilhelm Klink, commander of a German prisoner of war camp during World War II in the TV comedy series “Hogan’s Heroes.”
Hogan's Heroes, the greatest military comedy series ever. It's still on ever night on TV! And I still watch it sometimes! I recently watched one from the last season where Hogan takes a fighter plane to London with the German's blessings and then he flies back with Klink and they bail out! It was so outrageous it was hilarious! I highly recommend the (fiction) film about Bob Crane called Auto Focus just to watch the scene on the set with Klink, Hogan, Schultz, and Fraulein Helga!
Loved this show. i wished there would have been a final show or some kind of reunion show a few years after. It's ashamed most of them are dead and gone.
Too bad the last episode would have been when the war was over. Just like MASH. Maybe an hour special. Everyone going home and what they would be doing.
I'm sixty-nine years old, sitting here while trying NOT to wet my Depends as I laugh hysterically like a hyena at a dinner party! Hogan's Heroes ARE The Best! (Actually, I wear Fruit of the Loom. So Yes, I lied)! Doggone, but I DO Love these crazy guys!
Just double-checked my Season Six DVD set. 'Hogan's Double Life' is the 3rd to last episode airing on March 7th, 1971. Rockets or Romance is the final episode airing on March 28th, 1971.
I loved the German Shepherds with the march music at the start. It shows it was a serious situation, but yet we and the Allies were cool and clever. Schäferhund = Shepherd Dog.
Why have these episodes been blocked or deleted shame because they’ve given so much joy And entertainment in this depressing world today where violence seems to be the Norm - such a pity I have watched some of them more than half dozen times and still Get a laugh out of them when I’m feeling down - give joy and hope in this very sad world and Release more for everyone to enjoy
That's true ! And before moving to LA he had been a top rated morning DJ back in Connecticut. Though "Hogan" was not his first TV acting gig. Earlier, while still doing his morning LA radio show, he has a recurring role on the ABC sitcom "The Donna Reed Show".
I spent the big money and bought them on VHS from Columbia House. The club was offering different shows in the 90's but not HH, so I sent the form back and wrote on it: "168 episodes, 4 episodes per tape= 42 x $20=$840 CBS already owns this show." a month later I get an offer to buy Hogan's Heroes monthly on VHS. lol!
@@RadioAirchecks Did you get the one that had the wrong episode on it? I contacted them and told them about it and eventually they sent me a correted tape and told me not to send the other one back.

Great memories as a kid vvatching them as re runs in the 1970's & TY to Bob Krane's estate for making these bloopers available & APurposeDrivenLife for posting them on YT .
Omfg! I love this show! Col Schultz with his eternal, "I hearrrr nothing, I seeee nothing". Not to mention the monocled Herr who always got played by Hogan lol lol 😹👍👏
Bob crane was a talented amazing actor , sad that his killer never went to jail and lived out his life with freedom . Thank god those days of hard to prove situations are gone sad for bobs family and grown children who lost a incredible dad,, RIP .
I still watch it every chance I get. Sometimes it's farfetched (like Hofstadter freeing the 4 most wanted underground & they left in his car), but what a gem of a series.
Thanks for sharing that! Ever since watching the show growing up I always wanted a bomber jacket and "Crusher" cap! My thanks to the Bob Crane estate for putting this video together!
I never got a bomber jacket, but after basic training I immediately removed the stays from my hard cover to give it that "Fifty Mission Crush", and eventually got a flight jacket when I got my wings.
I know! They had the funniest laughs and they looked like they were so cool. It's a shame Dawson and Crane had such a bad relationship, they're the best ones on the whole show
the show was outstanding and very funny. to bad we do not have shows like this today. everything is killing guns and violence. dark stuff today. people need something to watch to make them laugh. i own the whole collection and love it.
The ONLY reason Werner Klemperer did the show was because the Germans were made to look like fools in every episode. Had they not, he would not have done the show. His father was the famous classical conductor, Otto Klemperer. Werner had a lot to look up to in his father. Wouldn't you?
rootbeer4969 Sorry to correct you, but that was not the reason he did the show. There is an interview with him on youtube where Werner specifically says that he had played german officers before and when he got the call for Hogan's Heroes he figured it was status quo and was just fine with a serious role, but was surprised to learn that it was a comedy routine.. and he had a great time. You can look up the interview if you like, it's on youtube. Freakyflow, Lebou, (robert clary) was not in a POW camp, but a concentration camp which slaughtered most of his family (including his parents).
joekidd1992 I don't think many people knew that when his family moved to the U.S. to get away from the nazis, he joined the American Military and fought in WWII. He was cool.
I saw it. It didn't affect my being able to watch HH at all. Crane was awesome on the show and Col. Hogan is still one of the best characters in sitcom history.
He was OK with it from what I understand and embraced the typecast. His main focus was doing theatre for the rest of his career. There is a good interview with him in the 90s.
I'm old enough to remember when this was a new show on CBS; it's now in syndication on the "Me Network" weekday evenings. Robert Clary (Cpl. LeBeau) is Jewish & was incarcerated in a Nazi concentration camp during WW2. I like his French character - he was just right to play a short earthy peasant.
I have found that our society today has gotten so PC that it leaves no room for anything even remotely funny to be shown. I am watching less and less so called comedies that aren't funny and watching the older comedies. We laughed at the absurdities of this show because we knew it was silly and not real at all. With Vietnam, racial tensions, and other things in the real news we tuned into this show and others like it purely to escape from the harsh reality of every day living.
“Hogan’s Heroes” was made by hard-core Hollywood liberals who were VERY concerned about the subject matter. Werner Klemperer only agreed to do the show if Colonel Klink was NEVER portrayed in a positive way. “Rick and Morty” and “The Big Bang Theory” are both examples of serious political incorrectness, and there are many other examples. You should read up on how controversial “Hogan’s Heroes” was at the time. We consider it “normal” now, but it certainly wasn’t back in the sixties. The difference between then and now is that “Hogan’s Heroes” was actually funny and required an educated audience. Back in the sixties, people who were too sensitive couldn’t just rant on the internet, so it just SEEMS like society is too PC. Back in the sixties, a LOT of people thought the idea of “Hogan’s Heroes” was extremely insensitive, but after the show was on for a while, people started to relax. If “Hogan’s Heroes” was made today, there would be a bunch of similar shows and spin-offs, but that idea didn’t become popular until the late seventies. No TV shows imitated “Hogan’s Heroes” because the networks didn’t want to push their luck. You should also check out the season line-ups back in the sixties and seventies, because the vast majority of shows were complete flops. Studios had more creative freedom back then because there were only three networks and advertisers had almost no options. Now, there are hundreds of networks, so, a risky show has ZERO chance of getting advertisers. Most studio executives assumed “Hogan’s Heroes” was going to fail.
@@thetooginator153 big bang theory is mindless unfunny and poorly acted crap though. And who cares what their politics were that didn't interfere with the show and it was very politically incorrect and hilarious.

Hogan was such a timeless classic because it was just a really funny show. There's nothing overly sexual, violent, political, vulgar or dated of its time.

@GunslingerXXI Har-har-harrrr-dee-har-har! A straight answer, but still funny! Yer friend & mine - Ralph Kramden (Long Live The Honeymooners)!
It's ok. Homer told Klink about it years later
@Herbert B. Bondsh can you imagine? Klink working for Schultz? The role reversal, Klink sucking up and Schultz yelling at him. I absolutely love it!

Good fun stuff is timeless. It never gets old. God says in His Word that, "Laughter doeth good like a medicine." Amen ✝️
It's so strange to see Klink flubbing lines! He's such an uptight character so smiling at goofs is really really cute ❤
"Yes, very decadent. But we have ways of... Isn't that incredible?" 😂
Especially when he lets slip something like "bloody whatever" :D

Trivia: Remember the repeated gag where Colonel Klink scraped horribly on his violin? Actually, Werner Klemperer was a world famous violinist, and would go on to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, after his dad, Otto Klemperer, retired.
I imagine he must have had much fun pretending to play terribly during the time Hogan's Heroes endured. :D
And played a hecka version of the US Air Force fight song.
Read somewhere that even the violin playing was meant to make Klink look stupid and clueless. A deliberate intention by Werner Klemperer I might add because being Jewish in Hilter's Germany was a nightmare for many. He wanted to be sure to make the Nazi's look foolish and stupid as the ultimate "F**K YOU' to the memory of the dreaded regime.
Anyone realise a great deal of the tunes he played were actually "Jewish".?
because he WAS Jewish

@@jenpeterson3712 I saw on METV when Robert Clary had passed away. I think he was the last of the original cast to pass away. The guy who took Ivan Dixon's place may still be alive, but he was only on the show in the last season.
This is one of the best shows ever.
Interesting story....Werner Klemperer and Bob Crane became very good friends during the show. One of the gifts Crane gave Klemperer was a new car. When Crane was murdered in 1978, Klemperer never drove that car again.
Also, all the "Germans" on the show were Jewish. They made the Nazis look foolish as payback. Even "Major Hochstetter" was an American Jewish bluegrass player, who was in the US Navy during WW II in the Pacific.
🙂😳😳😳Wow. Howard Caine a was a Bluegrass player? Cool.
John Banner "Sgt. Schultz" was an airborne infantryman in the 101st Airborne he left a Staff Sergeant. He fled Germany in 1933. Werner Klemper was an actor with the USO during the war and entertained the troops in Europe. Robert Clary was imprisoned in Auschwitz after being taken from his home and family in Paris back in 1941. Also Klemper and Banner are Germans as well as Jewish. No need to seperate the ethnicity as integration is the course of humanity. Dont divide only include.
Werner Klemperer served in the U.S. Army & John Banner served in the U.S. Army Air corps both in WW2 against Germany.
@@Gravelgratious Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) was also a German Jew who escaped Germany & fought for the United States against Nazi Germany in WW2 in the US Army Air-Corps
In 1942, Banner enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, underwent basic training in Atlantic City and became a supply sergeant.[3][4] He even posed for a recruiting poster.[4] He served until 1945.[1]
I know nothing....I see NOTH...ING..............R.I.P. John.........

He was funny even when he broke...seems like a great guy!
Schultz was the best asskisser on the show.

@@steeloned JOLLY JOKER
This was one of highest rated shows of its time. So funny
I like some of the Bloopers better then most shows. Hogan's heroes was a favorite as well as other comedies and some dramas from the sixties and seventies. A lot of the funny stuff stayed on the cutting room floor, but glad that someone had the good sense to pick it up.
Two shows I grew up on about ww2, Rat Patrol and Hogan’s Heroes. On my channel, they played back to back starting at 8 pm on Wednesday. My guitar lessons ended at 745 and dad burnt rubber so we didn’t miss the opening credits.
I love seeing bloopers from these old TV shows....how did Colonel Klink keep his monocle on?
Originally they glued it, but Werner learned how to hold it in.
"You can't get your hand in the bloody thing."
- When Werner Klemperer cusses during filming but he does it like they do in Europe. 👍🏻
It makes me so sad to see this because of what happened to Bob Crane. May he rest in peace.
he was murdered n cold blood with a iPod bashed his head in by his ex bizness partner
@@markacuna2828 Pretty sure they didn't have iPods in 1978, Einstein.
I know-every time I see him, I am reminded of his death and that saddens me. Poor guy.
@@itsahellofaname I suspect autocorrect here ... tripod, iPod... not a huge stretch
Well this Thursday is the 45 Year anniversary of when Bob Crane was killed
Bob Crane wasn't a smoker. Perhaps this is why he had problems smoking the cigarette and cigar.
But he sure enjoyed a skankie ho from time to time !!!!!!!!!!
“I don’t smoke, I don’t drink. Two out of three ain’t bad.” - Bob Crane
The cigar looks like a double figurado which means it's tapered at both ends-- wrapped at the foot instead of having exposed filler leaf. It's not easy to light even for those familiar with cigars. And table lighters never work! I don't remember this episode, but I know that later in the series normally wrapped cigars were used. Someone evidently saw and corrected the problem.
Yeah, but it's funny the way how Col Hogan sneaks a cigar out of Col Klink's cigar box!
Thanks for posting!! Got the series for Christmas & am in the third season. Remember watching the reruns on TV with my dad back in the 70s.
Bob Crane reminds me of Burt Reynolds. Both, tall, dark and handsome. Excellent comedy actors. Gone, but never forgotten 😔❤️
Don’t mean to sound like a liar but my grandpa knew & Boxed(lost to) Burt Reynolds’s a long time ago! I forget how they met but my Meema has a picture of them
And you couldn’t tell the difference who’s who. It’s on his obit from when he passed away 2-3 years ago his name was Robert Noel McGrath
Sorry but that’s a comparison that not only would never entered my mind, but is also extremely inaccurate.
I've seen that "worst series ever" designation, and am flabbergasted. Can anyone say "Hello Larry" (I don't even know if it was bad, but Johnny Carson always lampooned it)? Not to mention any of the modern "reality T.V." crap. Hogan (the show) was brilliant, with so many funny lines, and characters so memorable for their quirks, idiosyncrasies, facial expressions, etc....and they did over 30 episodes per season! Try maintaing that caliber of comedy/material today!
TV is TV, one ether like it or you don't, and if you do, watch it, if you don't, don't watch it. H.H. was fun to watch as a kid.
Believe it or not, there was a British sitcom called "Heil Honey, I'm Home." You can watch 2 or 3 episodes of this horror on TH-cam. It's an archetypal family situation comedy depicting Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and their wacky neighbors. It makes " My Mother, the Car" look brilliant. (It wasn't.)
My father-in-law fought the Japanese un WWII and HATED this show. He was sent to the Occupation Army in Germany right after VJ Day and saw first hand the things Hitler had ordered against prisoners. He never forgave CBS for putting on such a "disrespectful" show.
I loved the show, but when I was older, I never understood how Robert Clary of all people, could be on Hogan's Heroes. He had been in a concentration camp as a young man- how could you go back and relive that time, week after week?
On the whole, tho, I think it was a brilliant show and good entertainment.
@@tamerawaltman4115 I can understand that - your father seeing first hand horrors of the war, now juxtaposed with a comedy. It also was only 20 years after WWII, so still fresh in many minds. In terms of Robert Clary, I imagine he adopted the same position as all the major German Officer characters - who were all Jewish. Werner Klemperer would only play the part if the Germans were made to be idiots. From Robert Clary's viewpoint, I imagine he thought he could remain bitter/angry, or enjoy spoofing the whole thing.
Are you the Marty Howe who played for my beloved Hartford Whalers?
I heard a rumor that one of the POWs wound up being a game show host.
Yeah, Richard Dawson who played Newkirk in Hogans Heroes, hosted Family Feud.
+Jonathan Yeager Thanks but it was a joke. I watched Richard when he was a panelist on Match Game and then got his own show as host of Family Feud.
+norelco pc He was also the antagonistic game show host in The Running Man that stared Arnold Schwarzenegger. He even had the best comeback to Arnold's famous "I'll be back!" line
+Ltspongebob3 That was perfect casting!
Ltspongebob3
Arnold: “ I’ll be back.”
Richard: “Only in a rerun.”
This show was excellent and so enjoyable. The cast had excellent chemistry with each other. It's saddening that many in today's society have become so narrow minded and thinned skinned that they can't enjoy a simple comedy without worrying about pc. CBS cancelled the show while its ratings were still good. Dunces.
Agreed. People are ridiculous.

Don't panic Colonel.

If you have cable TV it has a station called "Me TV" and they play Hogan's Heroes
My family had to stop our cable TV subscription because it was to expensive for us so now i watch it on an application called Kodi But i love this show it is one of my favorites
I will NEVER forget me giggling while describing the show to my young teens several years ago....they looked at me like I was bat shit crazy 😂😂😂 THEn I said it was a comedy! 😂😂 their faces 😱😱😱
“Sound the dogs! Release the alarm”
I was born in 87 and I'm german and, as many other germans, I love the show. Although the german version is in some places cut and the conversations not literally translated, for example if there is an air raid somewhere and klink gets a phone call about it, in the german version they invented his nude-cleaning household maid who calls him and complains that she doesn't have enough stockings. It's a bit more comical.
When I was in grade school this was a weekly favorite! I miss those days.
I always wanted to meet the guy who originally pitched the idea of a sitcom set in a German POW camp to Jewish dominated industry. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.
+Bill Ellison Wasn't Werner Klemperer Jewish?
On December 6, 2000, actor Werner Klemperer died at the age of 80 in New York. The son of the distinguished Jewish-born, German orchestra conductor Otto Klemperer and singer Johanna Geisler, Werner Klemperer became almost a household name in the United States in the 1960s for his role as Col. Wilhelm Klink, commander of a German prisoner of war camp during World War II in the TV comedy series “Hogan’s Heroes.”
In fact, the actors who played Sgt. Schultz, General Burkhalter, Major Hochstetter and LeBeau were also Jewish.
Einstein was jewish too stupid
He was Jewish. And said he would only take the part if the Germans plans would always fail.
Hogan's Heroes, the greatest military comedy series ever. It's still on ever night on TV! And I still watch it sometimes! I recently watched one from the last season where Hogan takes a fighter plane to London with the German's blessings and then he flies back with Klink and they bail out! It was so outrageous it was hilarious! I highly recommend the (fiction) film about Bob Crane called Auto Focus just to watch the scene on the set with Klink, Hogan, Schultz, and Fraulein Helga!
I remember that one. Had to be a tight fit in that P-51 Mustang for 2 grown men.
@@TheJer1963 Both of whom were 6’ or above.
I dunno, I believe M*A*S*H gave it a run for it's money!
Loved this show. i wished there would have been a final show or some kind of reunion show a few years after. It's ashamed most of them are dead and gone.
Too bad the last episode would have been when the war was over. Just like MASH. Maybe an hour special. Everyone going home and what they would be doing.
the first bloopers is saw from Hogan´s Heroes! Thanks, I searching so long for it!
I'm sixty-nine years old, sitting here while trying NOT to wet my Depends as I laugh hysterically like a hyena at a dinner party! Hogan's Heroes ARE The Best! (Actually, I wear Fruit of the Loom. So Yes, I lied)! Doggone, but I DO Love these crazy guys!
One of my favorite shows to watch when I was growing older (I've never grown up!).
I also loved Rat Patrol!
The cast of HH were constant professionals who had fun during filming despite of some animosity.
I still watch it most evenings on MeTV.
Just double-checked my Season Six DVD set. 'Hogan's Double Life' is the 3rd to last episode airing on March 7th, 1971. Rockets or Romance is the final episode airing on March 28th, 1971.
Fun fact, one of the guys playing an SS officer in this cut was played by Christopher knights ( Petter) Brady Bunch, dad. ,
I loved the German Shepherds with the march music at the start. It shows it was a serious situation, but yet we and the Allies were cool and clever. Schäferhund = Shepherd Dog.
No no. To quote, or more likely paraphrase the show. German Shepherds were a little to dim, that is why they only use Belgian Shepherds. :D
Actually I call them Schäferhunde and even add the -in for the females -- it's shorter.
BEST WW2 documentary ever made !
+Ade Larsen Perhaps the most accurate lol.
haha thats great :)
Haha, that's...
One of the best all time oldies! It had a little bit of everything drama romance comedy intrigue,And a little nail biting

Get a laugh out of them when I’m feeling down - give joy and hope in this very sad world and

Bob Crane was also a famous morning drive D.J. in Los Angeles Ca. before Hogans Heroes!
He was a drummer for a strip club during the show when the radio gig ended.
That's true ! And before moving to LA he had been a top rated morning DJ back in Connecticut. Though "Hogan" was not his first TV acting gig. Earlier, while still doing his morning LA radio show, he has a recurring role on the ABC sitcom "The Donna Reed Show".
The Fibler bullshit 💩💩💩
Everyone must see Greg Kinnear's "Auto Focus" movie about Bob Cranes crazy life.
in till he was murdered by his business partner
Have the entire collection on DVD.
I spent the big money and bought them on VHS from Columbia House. The club was offering different shows in the 90's but not HH, so I sent the form back and wrote on it: "168 episodes, 4 episodes per tape= 42 x $20=$840 CBS already owns this show."
a month later I get an offer to buy Hogan's Heroes monthly on VHS. lol!
Where did u buy all 6 seasons of HH
FamousWettbutter Target USA, but I think you can get it at Amazon but not sure 🤔
@@billkeithchannel I got that VHS subscription as well. Then DVD's came out...

I never got a bomber jacket, but after basic training I immediately removed the stays from my hard cover to give it that "Fifty Mission Crush", and eventually got a flight jacket when I got my wings.
Seeing the boys crack up like this just made my day 😂😂😂
I know! They had the funniest laughs and they looked like they were so cool. It's a shame Dawson and Crane had such a bad relationship, they're the best ones on the whole show
the show was outstanding and very funny. to bad we do not have shows like this today. everything is killing guns and violence. dark stuff today. people need something to watch to make them laugh. i own the whole collection and love it.
The show...Too bad...Everything....Dark...People...I own...!!!!!!
They downplayed the violent well. It's hardly noticeable during this world war.
Surely CBS has all these blooper reels in pristine quality.
Hahahah, seeing Nazis screwup then laughing. Very surreal, but this show is a classic.
The ONLY reason Werner Klemperer did the show was because the Germans were made to look like fools in every episode. Had they not, he would not have done the show. His father was the famous classical conductor, Otto Klemperer. Werner had a lot to look up to in his father. Wouldn't you?
rootbeer4969
And the fact that Werner was Jewish ...Lebou was in a real Camp in WW2
rootbeer4969 Sorry to correct you, but that was not the reason he did the show. There is an interview with him on youtube where Werner specifically says that he had played german officers before and when he got the call for Hogan's Heroes he figured it was status quo and was just fine with a serious role, but was surprised to learn that it was a comedy routine.. and he had a great time. You can look up the interview if you like, it's on youtube.
Freakyflow, Lebou, (robert clary) was not in a POW camp, but a concentration camp which slaughtered most of his family (including his parents).
Hilary C
Good point about him playing serious parts as well. He played one of the defendants in Trial at Nuremberg which was a very serious role.
joekidd1992 I don't think many people knew that when his family moved to the U.S. to get away from the nazis, he joined the American Military and fought in WWII. He was cool.
This was a great show. Loved every episode. Every actor in the ensemble knew exactly what he was doing.
One of my faves! Robert Clary, a true hero!
He's 95 and still singing. the only other Hogans Heroes cast member to still be living is Kenneth Washington-who's about 76 now.
Forgot to mention that a number of years ago-we emailed each other (clary) for a number of months. He is quite nice and approachable.

Thank you for the clip. I enjoyed it.
I lost it at some of these, just because they started laughing themselves. For some reason they struck me funny
It was always Winter on the Show so you couldn’t tell the difference between Season 2 and Season 5. All individual episodes.
Love "Hogan's Heroes",
but I recently watched the film "Autofocus",
and I can't look at Bob Crane in the same way.
Yes, anyone who had respect for Bob Crane should watch 'Autofocus'. It's about the real Bob Crane's personal life.
I saw it. It didn't affect my being able to watch HH at all. Crane was awesome on the show and Col. Hogan is still one of the best characters in sitcom history.
I watched this when I was little every night on METV because we couldn’t afford cable 😂 it meant so much to me
What? No outtakes of Fraulien Hilda?! Sigrid Valdis rocking that one piece swimsuit. The episode with the general / corporal with the homing beacon.
That was actually Klink's first secretary, Helga, played by Cynthia Lynn.
I had such a crush on Bob Crane when this was on television.
Have dropped in on Stalag 13 in Culver City California. . 1970
Werner Kempler was a great actor. He got typecast after this show.
He was OK with it from what I understand and embraced the typecast. His main focus was doing theatre for the rest of his career. There is a good interview with him in the 90s.
I went to school with Ivan Dixon's son. I saw his dad once and was like umm your dad looks familiar
So funny! I love the show and its cool to see behind the scenes.
Some episodes are absolutely Hilarious.
The glee club episode had my friend in tears with laughter the first time he saw it.
I have only ever seen the enhanced shows, seeing this original footage is great. it is just like my dad saw on his TV as a kid
It is just...
I'm old enough to remember when this was a new show on CBS; it's now in syndication on the "Me Network" weekday evenings. Robert Clary (Cpl. LeBeau) is Jewish & was incarcerated in a Nazi concentration camp during WW2. I like his French character - he was just right to play a short earthy peasant.

I loved Hogan's Heroes when I was s kid.I liked the last episode was my favorite !
Don’t panic Colonial...he’ll light that damn cigar eventually...
Ha, Hogan feeding Shulz piece after piece of cake...
I have found that our society today has gotten so PC that it leaves no room for anything even remotely funny to be shown. I am watching less and less so called comedies that aren't funny and watching the older comedies. We laughed at the absurdities of this show because we knew it was silly and not real at all. With Vietnam, racial tensions, and other things in the real news we tuned into this show and others like it purely to escape from the harsh reality of every day living.
“Hogan’s Heroes” was made by hard-core Hollywood liberals who were VERY concerned about the subject matter. Werner Klemperer only agreed to do the show if Colonel Klink was NEVER portrayed in a positive way.
“Rick and Morty” and “The Big Bang Theory” are both examples of serious political incorrectness, and there are many other examples. You should read up on how controversial “Hogan’s Heroes” was at the time. We consider it “normal” now, but it certainly wasn’t back in the sixties. The difference between then and now is that “Hogan’s Heroes” was actually funny and required an educated audience.
Back in the sixties, people who were too sensitive couldn’t just rant on the internet, so it just SEEMS like society is too PC. Back in the sixties, a LOT of people thought the idea of “Hogan’s Heroes” was extremely insensitive, but after the show was on for a while, people started to relax.
If “Hogan’s Heroes” was made today, there would be a bunch of similar shows and spin-offs, but that idea didn’t become popular until the late seventies. No TV shows imitated “Hogan’s Heroes” because the networks didn’t want to push their luck.
You should also check out the season line-ups back in the sixties and seventies, because the vast majority of shows were complete flops. Studios had more creative freedom back then because there were only three networks and advertisers had almost no options. Now, there are hundreds of networks, so, a risky show has ZERO chance of getting advertisers. Most studio executives assumed “Hogan’s Heroes” was going to fail.
@@thetooginator153 big bang theory is mindless unfunny and poorly acted crap though. And who cares what their politics were that didn't interfere with the show and it was very politically incorrect and hilarious.
Awesome show, with a very talented cast.
