About this product

Product Information

Despite a historically and morally questionable premise, the 1960s sitcom HOGAN'S HEROES was wildly popular during its premiere run and continues to be one of the great classic (not to mention utterly unique) comedy series. Set in a Nazi prison camp during World War II, the series follows a group of Allied POWs--Englishman Peter Newkirk (a pre-FAMILY FEUD Richard Dawson), Frenchman Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary), and Americans Andrew Carter (Larry Hovis) and James Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon, one of the first African-American actors to get equal billing)--led by the irrepressible Colonel Robert Hogan (Bob Crane) in their hilarious attempts to sabotage the Nazi war effort. Though often mischaracterized as a tasteless gloss on the real-life horrors of Nazi Germany (the series was set in a prisoner-of-war camp, not a concentration camp), HOGAN'S HEROES was intended as parody and certainly pulled no punches in its unflattering depiction of idiotic Nazi officers such as the pompous Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer), bumbling Sergeant Schultz (John Banner), and irascible General Burkhalter (Leon Askin)--in fact, Klemperer, Banner, and Askin were all Jewish, and Clary was a Holocaust survivor. This collection presents the series in its entirety for a total of six seasons.

  • I'm only sad that it never went beyond 6 seasons. I thought it was that great of a show!

    Like Dennis Franz' character of Det. Andy Sipowicz on the revered TV series "NYPD Blue", one person really "made" that show - and was John Banner, playing the role of Sgt. Shultz - the overweight "Sgt. of the Guards" at Stalag 13. Had the show gotten rid of him early on, I would've stopped watching it. Don't get me wrong - most of the other characters were quite adept in their respective roles - least of which was "Col. Klink" (Werner Klemperer). However, that said, this 6-season sitcom was both VERY funny and very entertaining as well! Having purchased this set, I can tell you this: I would've paid double for it if that would've been the best price I could find. It's one of the very few series I've purchased or seen over the years in which I could watch it over & over again & never get tired of it! I'm only sad that it never went beyond 6 seasons. I thought it was that great of a show!

  • Wonderful series

    I love Hogan's Heroes. But, sometimes my TV does not get it due to weak signals and distance from the station. It is so nice to watch the episodes without commercials and with great picture and sound. I would recommend this purchase to everyone who loves Hogan's Heroes.

  • Hogan's Heroes

    Very good plcture quality. 30 years ago I purchased Hogan's Heroes from Columbia House VCR tapes on a monthly basis. There were four episodes per tape each VCR tape cost $25. I paid ultimately well over $1,000 to acquire the series. Not only do they take up a lot of space they have worn out over 30 years. The DVDs are superior in color definition and also take up alot less space. I am a very happy customer thank you

  • Great Classic comedy.

    No problems from the CDs - they play smooth, without problem. Our family enjoys the comedy of this classic TV show. For those who criticize its premise: it's important to note how very many Jewish actors were employed by the show during a difficult time in Hollywood and how it portrays a POW camp, not a labor camp. Also, the show was a comfort to children whose fathers were in the war - a fantasy that their daddies weren't in so much danger. There are so many horrors from the Holocaust and WWII that should not be denied; I do not believe that this show denies the Holocaust. It is simply a situation comedy.

  • A landmark television comedy series that's on a par with Taxi and MASH.

    I watch syndicated re-runs every night, wondering if I'll be able to fall asleep if I don't. It's true I know the episodes virtually word for word, however they remain delightfully funny. I'm not embarrassed to say that I adore this show. Thank you Colonel Hogan, Commandant Klink, and Sergeant Schultz!

  • Hogan's Heroes is very entertaining.

    so much better than watching 2 episodes a night on TV. It is great to be able to go back to the beginning of the series.
