7. Other interesting byproduct of Hogan's Heroes is the movie Auto Focus about the disturbing life & death of star Bob Crane. Not a great movie but a decent one.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Focus

8. One last thing: Hogan's Heroes shows how seemingly contemporary "woke" controversies are usually reprisals of critiques that existed all along. That's true of much debates about culture. These controversies are of long standing.

I'm reminded of when Cleese did the Goose Step on Fawlty, and there was legit critisim of him ignoring the nuances that made the Python satire so biting.

7. In conclusion: Hogan's Heroes: not great art, a little problematic but also having some merit & complexity. Worth watching a few episodes for general cultural literacy reasons.
