I'm watching this on Amazon Prime.
Great show.

About 5 years ago, there was a Hogan's Hero Channel on ROKU. The entire run, that was what you could stream, including the pilot which was in black and white and had some different actors. Went away after a year and it hasn't been available on streaming anywhere, until just recently.

How many know that Howard Caine (Hochstetter), Leon Askin (Burkhalter) and Werner Klemperer (Klink) were all Jewish and all served in US Armed Forces?

That women wore jeans.

^^^ That's really, really common today. Not sure what you're going for there.


But I remember BEFORE women wore jeans. It was almost unheard of at one point. Pants were other materials, or 'pedal pusher' type style.

When 99% of women wore jeans, not 25% jeans and 75% stretch pants.

Knew that about Caine, but not the others. In the second episode, Hochstetter first appears but is a General and played by a different actor.

To add to it, Askin was born in Vienna Austria and escaped to the US, his parents were murdered at Treblenka.

I remember when you could walk into a store and buy shit and that was it. No phone number. No email. No credit card offers. You just gave them some money and walked out with your shit.

... when R.I.P. was a snide, insulting, condescending send off.

#5 is one of the very few that I actually did on that list. And showed it to my kids too. So now there are at least three people born in this century that can say that they have tried it

It was the main staple in our poor house. But we did get a choice of beverages, either powdered milk or watered down frozen orange juice

Triptics from AAA - custom made for your trip. The precursor to google maps...

Once a year they would send a trial membership for a week that included custom maps, so that was the time to get your driving directions for the vacation )
Or at least this is how it worked in 1995 to 1997. Before that I wasn't in the US and after that we had money to buy regular state atlases. I still have a few of those somewhere

We were not poor compared to people around us, but that was in the 70s in the USSR, so technically the whole country was poor. My babysitter showed me this delicacy and she learned it as a kid during the WWII.
