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......

Hogan's Hero's The Complete Series On DVD

Classic Yesterday Television Sitcom

As a Amazon Humble Editor puts it........."When impoverished mountaineer Jed Clampett (Buddy Epsen) discovers a wealth of oil near his home, he becomes an instant millionaire and moves his family to a mansion in Beverly Hills. 

Now, along with Granny (Irene Ryan) Elly May (Donna Douglas) and Jethro (Max Baer Jr.) they must navigate the social norms and eccentricities found in the land of swimmin' pools and movie stars."

Irene "Granny" Ryan

 Jessie Irene Noblitt. was born to an American father, James Merrit Noblitt, and an Irish immigrant mother, Katherine McSharry.

In 1962, Irene Ryan was cast as Daisy "Granny" Moses, the matriarch of the Clampett clan, in the CBS-TV comedy series.

When there were only 3 or 4 channels to choose from.... The Beverly Hillbillies was a smash hit and a favorite of mine. 

The show aired from..... 1962-1971

In 1973 Irene "Granny" Ryan passed away.

She had no surviving relatives.... and with an estate worth over $1 million, she decided to start the Irene Ryan Acting Foundation providing annual scholarships for promising student actors to this very day.

 

Did You Know That During WWII........ The Popeye cartoons reached new heights of popularity and were regularly used to boost U.S. morale, partially because a handful of Popeye cartoons during the war years were incredibly racially offensive towards the Japanese. For instance, in the cartoons, the Japanese are referred to as “jap-pansies” and portrayed with vicious, buck-toothed faces, sporting thick glasses. A “banned” racist World War II Popeye cartoon called “Seein’ Red, White ‘n Blue” has the unique historical distinction of being the only Popeye where Bluto and Popeye join forces and gulp down a shared can of spinach to beat up on Japanese soldiers.

The true account of the making of the film "Popeye" starring Robin Williams and directed by Robert Altman. The movie is nowhere near as bad as you may have heard and the book is fun if you are into "behind the scenes" stories. Over 200 photos.
