5. Have you seen Auto Focus?
You'll never think of that show in quite the same way ever again. :scared:

6. No. What is Auto Focus?
I had a bit of a problem from the gitgo with Hogan's Heros, because my dad was a POW of the Germans in Italy (he escaped). But when he sat howling hysterically at Hogan, my qualms melted away. It is a damn funny show. Too bad about Bob Crane, though.

8. Auto Focus is the story of Bob Crane as told by Paul Schrader
who wrote the screenplay for Taxi Driver and directed Affliction, among many other dark movies. Greg Kinnear plays Crane and Willem Dafoe his creepy porn and video crazed buddy John Carpenter (not the director of Halloween). It's one of the best movies I've seen this year.

12. I saw Auto Focus.
It was hard to believe that affable guy (Bob Crane) was into all that shit--seriously into it. I guess you never know about people.

4. I loved Hogan's Heroes
It was so interesting to find out later on that Werner Klemperer & Robert Clary had both lost family in the Holocaust.

20. I'm living it
I caught that show years and years after the 60's and found it very funny. It's a fun song to sing too, I substitue New York with Los Angeles or San Francisco; gotta say it real fast though.

10. Hogans Heros was actually sort of controversial.
I recall there was this German-American group who protested to the network about the show as it made the Germans look like a bunch of ninnys.

Funny thing, it would have made the Germans look ALOT worse if they really portrayed what life in a Stalag was like.

11. I voted for Beverly Hillbillies, but I also really like Bewitched.
Andy Griffith stank. Never did like that show.

21. Come on now
didn't you think Barney was funny and Opie a real cute kid? I only like the black and white version. When the Barn left it just wasn't as funny.

14. WWWOOOOO DOGGIE
Uncle Jed, rest his soul, was a hoot. Ellie May - need I say more? Who didn't have a granny like Granny? and there's a Jethro in every crowd.

17. Did you know he was really saying, "Well, doggie!"
I didn't know that until visiting a Beverly Hillbillies Web site a year or so ago.

19. I felt similarly
It was as though I had just learned that Homer Simpson says "Dough!" instead of "D'oh!"

15. Mr. Ed
My 3-year-old loves the song (I started singing it to him when he got tired of the standard fare) and says, "Can we get that movie?".

Unfortunately, there is no movie. There aren't even any videos (save one ancient episode on some kind of promo tape I saw on eBay). I can't even find it on TV anymore. Alas!

16. Dick Van Dyke, please
It was clever and fun to watch. Sally didn't always have to do the typing (though I guess she usually did), and it was fun to watch the writing team struggle for ideas.

The bedroom scenes are quaint, today. But still...

22. I voted for Hogan's Heroes ... but ...
as a kid ... I liked Get Smart ... the Adams Family ... the Munsters ... and, then, there were others, like, The Flintstones ... McHale's Navy ... The Real McCoys ... if one counts variety shows: Jack Benny, Garry More, Jackie Gleason, Carol Burnett, and Red Skelton shows ... Donna Reed ... Green Acres ... Beverly Hillbillies ... Petticoat Junction ... Hazel ... Laugh-in ...
