      2. Seriously, I'm not one to go to the mattresses to defend Hogan's Heroes, a middling 1960s sitcom on par with Get Smart or Gilligan's Island. But.

      3. The one interesting thing about Hogan's Heroes is that it was a military service comedy, a once popular genre that seems to have died out. The genre runs from the high (The Good Soldier Švejk, Catch-22, MASH) to the low (Hogan's Heroes, Sgt. Bilko)

      4. As a service comedy, the most interesting thing about Hogan's Heroes was Sgt. Schulz, a German soldier who really didn't want to do his job & was good at not doing it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgcxGFmYyPs …

      5. It's strange that the service comedy has disappeared despite (or maybe perhaps because of?) the interminable Forever Wars.

      6. The critique that Hogan's Heroes whitewashed or made light of Nazis wasn't just made by woke millennials -- that was Mad Magazine's critique in the 1960s (they shifted story from a POW camp to a concentration camp).pic.twitter.com/WKbwvmNy4v

      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.

          Plus you get to see the guy who hosted Family Feud on screen for more than 2 minutes without him doing something creepy to a woman.

          My father, WW2 vet, loved HH, it was required viewing in our house. He would roar with laughter everytime Schulz said "I know nothing" and mimiced Schulz perfectly until the day he died. It was sexist, racist and don't even start w/ the Bob Crane stories, lots of vets watched it

          Worth watching if you like dumb fun (I do). Werner Klemperer was afraid his dad Otto (orchestra conductor) wouldn't approve of such lowbrow schtick. But he says Otto loved it because it made the Nazis look stupid. btw Gilligan's Island is no Hogans Heroes IS NO GET SMART. Sheesh.

          Don't forget, many of the adults watching the program had lived through WWII. They enjoyed seeing the Nazis made out to be idiots.
