Hogan's Heroes - The Complete Second Season (2005, DVD)

Movie Description
Despite a historically and morally questionable premise, the 1960s sitcom HOGAN'S HEROES was wildly popular during its premiere run and continues to remain one of the most classic (not to mention utterly unique) comedy series in television history. 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, rather than 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 every episode from the controversial series' second season.

      This Season Kept On Marching...

    Becasue as Time Went On.... This Show didn't get old!

    Unlike many TV series, this show didn't just drag on and on each week or each season.

    Each show was fresh, even tho the characters usually remained the same.

    Good thing I like the main characters!

    Recommended viewing for at least once, probably more of a rental than a purchase for all these seasons, UNLESS you are a Hogan's Heroes completist!

      Cool Season.
    Review created: 07/23/08

    Season two is just as funny as the first!!! Klink, SGT. Schult and the rest of the cast really put a funny spoof on a serious issue. Some might take offense to the humor because of the way the Germans are betrayed but slapstick is what it is: SLAPSTICK!

    Review created: 06/01/07

    The service was very prompt. My husband and I are Hogan's Heroes buffs and I look forward to presenting the set to him for either his birthday or Christmas, so it is a surprise. I'm anxious to give them to him.

    I have always loved Hogan's Heroes, even though this was a gift for my new grandson-in-law. I have not heard from them and do not know if they have watched it yet, but I assume the tape is good. I know the contents of the tape are good as Hogan's Heroes was a very good show.
