Bob Crane was smarmy and annoying.

Just about everyone else was excellent.

They managed to pass Kinch off as a Nazi.

I enjoy the show. I'm in my thirties, without cable, so I watch the reruns.

I like it, but I've always been surprised at how light they take the nazi/POW angle. I thought it was a little weird, but I still like the show.

I still watch it every night at 10pm with an antenna on one of the decimal digital channels.

I'm surprised no one's done a modern version.  Instead of Nazis, make it an ISIS camp, with stupid ISIS guards.

This. Most of the German characters were Jewish, and worked on the provision that they would always make the Nazis look ridiculous.

I had not watched it in years but caught an episode the other day. Funny as always.
Like anything else Hollywood I take it for what it is and that is entertainment.

Forgot about Richard Dawson being in it.

My Uncle hated that show. He was a POW in Stalag IX-B at Bad Orb, Germany 1944-45.

He said that they would not have time to do anything other than trying not to starve to death and stay warm.

Odd but only when that show came on was when he talked about his capture/captivity.

That said as a kid at the time I enjoyed both the show and his stories. Two-fer.

It made the Nazis out to be bumbling idiots. So no, I don't have a problem with it.

Also, my name is Hogan. So after hearing approximately 8,700 jokes about Hogan's Heroes my vote should count twice.

Loved watching re-runs back in the 80s.

Hard to watch anything with a laugh track anymore however.

There's a Local TV station that shows re-runs most weekday nights at 10:30PM.
Some episodes were always better than others.

I've been watching the show recently. I find it really funny, but in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder if the subject matter is a bit too serious.

The great thing is that most of the German Officers were played by Jews, not a few of which had suffered mistreatment at the hands of the Nazi's and were forced to emigrate.

Corporal LeBeau (Robert Clary) was also Jewish and spent some time in the camps.

My son and I watch it on MeTV. Always enjoyed the show growing up.

One of my good friends looks and acts like Col Klink. And he speaks German.

Satire often tends to be dark with that kind of subject matter. I think it's hilarious, but I can see how some people might take offense

As a kid I liked it a lot, and still do, every so often, I record it and still watch it.

When I was a kid I did ask my Great Uncle Jack if when he was a POW it was like Stalag 13.  He laughed and said no, but he did talk a bit about it.

If you watch Clary during the scenes where he is supposed to do the Nazi salute, he always does it with crossed fingers on the raised hand. He also always had his fingers visibly crossed whenever he said Heil Hitler, and the camera angle was always positioned so his crossed fingers were visible to the audience. I thought that was pretty interesting.

We did bomb bearing factories.  I have been to a couple of them.  The one in Austria even had some "after" pictures in the back part of the cafeteria.
