Movie Reviews of Hogan's Heroes - The Sixth & Final Season
Movie Review: A Review from a somewhat distant relative of one of actors and somewhat fan of the show
Summary: 5 Stars
Ten years ago while visitng my grandfather I came across an very old photograph of my grandfather with a man that looked vaguley familiar but not much. I then found out after asking my grandfather who the man was, that it was Bob Crane and he was my grandfather's second cousin on his mothers side. Being only 11 years old at the time, I had no idea who this guy was or the show of Hogan's Heroes my grandfather talked about.
I started watching re runs of the show on Tvland since I was pretty much a distant relative of one of the actors. I thought the show to be very funny. My favorite character on the show was the french actor, LeBaue or something like that. I just thought he was hesterical. I came to really like the show, not for the fact that Bob Crane was my late grandfather's second cousin, but because it was a great show and a good laugh. The year the DVD's started coming out was the year my grandfather passed away. I started buying them for three reasons. One: I like the show to the point where I could watch it again on DVD, two: to have something that would give me those memories of watching it with my late grandfater and three: the fact even though I never knew him or anything about him other then the fact that he was murdered in 1978 or 1979, Bob Crane was a relative, a distant relative but a relative. It is a great show and I think many people of all ages will like it. I was eleven years old when I started watching it, now ten years later I still enjoy sitting down and getting a good laugh when watching it.
The DVD's of this season were very good. I had no problems at all with any of them. The color and sound were excellent and the shows themselves were really good and funny as well.
Summary of Hogan's Heroes - The Sixth & Final Season
The inmates of a German World War II Prisoners of War camp conduct espionage and sabotage campaign right under the noses of their warders. While the enemy is often gullible, easily fooled or downright incompetent - the real strength of Hogan's men are the elaborate ruses and sometimes dangerous lengths they will go to complete their mission.Just as the castaways were left to languish on Gilligan's Island, so, too, did cancellation deprive fans of seeing Col. Hogan (Bob Crane) and company finally liberated from Stalag 13. But at least this controversial series (again; it's a P.O.W., and not a concentration, camp!) went out literally with a bang, another successful act of sabotage of Nazi operations. The sixth season brought a new face to the barracks, Kenneth Washington as Sgt. Baker, replacing (without explanation) Ivan Dixon's "Kinch." Happily, some of the series' most entertaining recurring characters put in final appearances. Bernard Fox, as the hapless Col. Crittendon, enjoys his finest hour in the two-parter "Lady Chitterly's Lover," in which he must impersonate a look-alike British traitor, and Kathleen Freeman, as the dread Gertrude Berkhalter, upsets Hogan's plans to sneak a downed U.S. general out of camp in "Kommandant Gertrude." John Banner, as Sgt. Schultz, has one of his best episodes in "Kommandant Schultz," in which power goes to the cuddly buffoon's head when he is put in command of Stalag 13.
But mostly this season is business as usual, with Hogan and his men--Newkirk (Richard Dawson), LeBeau (Robert Clary) and Carter (Larry Hovis)--smuggling, hijacking, stealing, and otherwise disrupting the German war effort under the nose of clueless Col. Klink (Werner Klemperer, an Emmy nominee for this season). One standout episode is "Eight O'Clock and All Is Well," with guest star Monte Markham as a new prisoner with impeccable credentials whom Hogan discovers is actually a Gestapo spy. And in the episode "Look at the Pretty Snowflakes," Crane gets to demonstrate his virtuoso drumming as he attempts to cause an avalanche. Between the "krauts, lice, stinking food and bloody awful weather," life in Stalag 13 was no picnic. But, as Hogan tries to convince LeBeau not to return to France in the episode "Cuisine a la Stalag 13," let us not forget "all the fun... all the laughs." That is Hogan's Heroes' final legacy. --Donald Liebenson
