Hogan’s Heroes
55 Years ago today, a comedy was introduced to the television world about a group of allied “prisoners” of war, in a concentration camp, who ran an underground operation for the allied war effort.
The show ran for 6 seasons, from 1965 until 1971, but for some reason I thought it was newer than it was, as I remember watching it growing up in the late 70s, apparently as reruns. It is currently playing over the airways on MeTV.
