HOGAN'S HEROES STAR RICHARD DAWSON RIP


HOGAN'S HEROES

Sadly we lost another of our favorite TV stars this week. British Actor Richard Dawson (Peter Newkirk) passed away at age 79. I believe that leaves Helga, Hilda, Col Crittendon and Robert Clary (Lebeau) alive from the original cast. Newkirk and Lebeau were my favorites. Here is one of my very favorite clips...Thanks to Youtube!

Strange... but I began watching the entire series on DVD last Friday night. One of my close friends and I were talking about how great Hogan's Heroes was as a 30 minute drama/comedy situation comedy based in a WWII Prison Camp. The show stands the test of time and is not a bit dated. If anything...it is funnier to me now...

The inmates of a German World War II prisoner of war camp conduct an espionage and sabotage campaign right under the noses of their wardens.
