This 1960's tv comedy set in a German prisoner of war camp during WW II somehow manages to hold up very well to the passage of time. It's as enjoyable to watch now as it was in 1966, probably more so now, with a growing time-buffer between WWII and the present. Nothing intense, dialogue and antics quite funny, each segment making for a relaxing 30 minute view. The episode plots are simplicity itself, consisting of just 3 basic plot themes: espionage, sabotage, or moving people between Germany and England. Most of the reason for the show's long term success -- even now it continues to be shown in re-runs -- is because the actor Bob Crane (playing Hogan) plays the part to near perfection. Especially if you feel you need a little stress relief from the rigors of modern-day living, recommended.
