Thank You For "Following" & "Watching" YESTERDAY TELEVISION

Hogans Heros was an American Television sitcom set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II. 

It ran for six seasons with 168 episodes produced  from September 17, 1965 until April 4, 1971. 

It aired on the CBS network and was the  longest broadcast run for an American television series about WWll.

According to Jonathon Berr Senior Contributer of Forbes on September 18, 2019......

"To say that Hogan's Heroes was politically incorrect would be an understatement. The sitcom was based on the absurd notion that Col. Robert Hogan and his band of saboteurs could operate out of a prisoner of war camp in Germany called Stalag 13. The Nazis in the show such as Commandant Wilhelm Klink and Sergeant Hans Schultz were dimwitted and not evil. Every episode featured at least one threat to send a Nazi to the "Russian Front" or a prisoner to "the cooler." There were plenty of Adolf Hitler jokes."

He goes on to explain quoting  from  Brenda Scott Royce, author of Hogan's Heroes: Behind the Scenes at Stalag 13,

that the wounds of World War II were still fresh for many people at the time the show aired.

My own father "Roy Martin Badgerow" was himself a POW.

He would bust a gut when he watched. He loved the show as did so many other of his age group. I also think it has a place here in Yesterday Television.

It is also on MeTV Or The Internet Archive 

If you would like to binge watch a few episodes......

Do you remember....

Leave It to Beaver? 

If not...... it was American television situation comedy about an inquisitive and often naive boy named Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver who was portrayed by Jerry Mathers. It followed  his adventures at home, in school, and around his suburban neighborhood.

The show also starred Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont as Beaver's parents,

June and Ward Cleaver, and Tony Dow as Beaver's brother Wally.

The show has attained an iconic status in the United States, with the Cleavers exemplifying the idealized suburban family of the mid-20th century.

The show aired from 1957 -1963 and I was right around the Beaver Clever age. I still have to laugh at the miss adventures he would get himself into.

In a typical episode Beaver got into some sort of trouble, then faced his parents for reprimand and correction. 

However, neither parent was omniscient......... indeed, the series often showed the parents debating their approach to child rearing, and some episodes were built around parental gaffes.

  The show was created by writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher. 

Veterans of radio and early television.... they often found inspiration for the shows characters, 

plots and dialogue in the lives, experiences and conversations of their.... very own children.

"Leave It to Beaver" is one of the first prime time sitcom series written from a child's point of view.

The complete....." Leave It To Beaver Series "is embedded just below.
Just keep watching.. one after the other.... and you could binge watch all the episodes!
 I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

In My Merry Oldsmobile.............Lyrics of song: "Young Johnnie Steele has an Oldsmobile, He loves a dear little girl, She is the queen of his gas machine, she has his heart in a whirl. Now, When they go for a spin, you know, She tries to learn the auto, so He lets her steer while he gets her ear, And whispers soft and low; CHORUS Come away with me Lucille In my merry Oldsmobile, Down the road of life we'll fly Automo-bubbling you and I. To the church we'll swiftly seal, Then our wedding bells will peal, You can go as far as you like with me, In my merry Oldsmobile. (Repeat) They love to spark in the dark old park, As they go flying along, She says she knows why the motor goes; The sparker's awfully strong. Each day they spoon to the engine's tune, Their honeymoon will happen soon, He'll win Lucille with his Oldsmobile And then he'll fondly croon;

"I'm nuts and I know it," Red Skelton quipped, "But so long as I make 'em laugh, they ain't going to put me away."
As this hilarious compendium of out-takes from his television appearances proves, Red could be at his funniest when he departed....whether intentionally or not.....

I Remember...Do You?

  Here is your chance to own that wacky Dinosaur show and laugh right out load at it all over again or enjoy it for the very first time.
It appeared April 26,1991 - October 19, 1994 on ......the ABC television net work.

It combined the talents of Jim Henson Productions and Disney Television.... and was distributed through
Buena Vista International.

Jim Henson came up with the idea for the story of sitcom about a Dinosaur family in 1988..... but it was  shut down.....
as crazy idea.
Then with the success of  "The Simpsons" the executive heads.....
took another look, at the concept.
Henson worked on the project until his death May 16, 1990...... but failed to live long enough to see its
debut.
