Posts from Jay J. Foraker in thread „Anyone here besides me watched or likes: The Rat Patrol?“

    In watching the first eight episodes of the show, I think I see what made this not as good as say, COMBAT! I think the main problem with this series is not the star-power, nor lack of good guest stars or anything but, the lack of being a 1 hr long show.
    As a 30 minute show, it was severely restricted in what they could do but, if it had been stretched out to 1 hr, most of the storylines would be brilliant.
    Anyway, if you have the guts to post here, please tell me what you think about that show? ;-D


    I haven't seen "The Rat Patrol" since it first aired on TV. If memory serves, the main German character was played by Hans Gudegast. He later changed his name to Eric Braeden and was in "The Forbin Project" and is currently a regular in one of the daytime soap operas (and has been for years).
