In February they're releasing on disc the first season of one of my all-time favorite TV shows: "Miami Vice". I thought Detective Sonny Crockett, as played by Don Johnson, was about the coolest character ever to appear on TV.

Klemperer was also in his fair share of good movies as well. One that comes to mind that I dearly love to see is: Judgement At Nuremberg w/ Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster and Maximilian Schell.

It's true "Judgement at Nuremberg" is an excellent movie. However, Klemperer plays a much more sinister character in that than the likable bumbler he plays on "Hogan's Heroes".

First I would like to say that I grew up watching TV wiht my family and parents. We also watched repeats of classic shows like: COMBAT, The FBI, Gunsmoke, Star Trek, Wagon Train, The Munsters, Leave It To Beaver, McHales Navy and Hogan's Heroes to name a few.

I am 37 yrs old and still love all those shows. I noticed over the years that when someone usually mentions Hogan's Heroes for instance, that many people over my age group absolutely hated that series. I was wondering if I could get your opinions of Hogan's Heroes and COMBAT. The entire COMBAT series will have been released on dvd by Novembar 2005, and Hogan's Heroes is starting to be released I think early Mar 2005.

Both shows are shows I remember from my earliest recollections of watching TV and some of my fondest memories of watching TV with my family.

Best regards TRK.

Of the two, I liked "Combat" best. Most people your age usually name "MASH" as their favorite war-related TV show. Did you ever watch any of the "Tour of Duty" series? It was a pretty fair show about combat in Vietnam. I also thought it was far more realistic and true-to-life than "Combat".

On a side note, the first time I ever saw Vic Morrow was as a teenage punk in the 1950's Glenn Ford film "Blackboard Jungle". I figured he would become typecast as a hoodlum because of his excellent performance in that movie. So I was kinda surprised when they cast him as the good guy in "Combat".
