Hogan's Heroes was a great series which still stands up today, as funny as it ever was. Mainly due to the great interplay between Bob Crane as Colonel Hogan, head of the US prisoners of war, and Werner Klemperer as Colonel Klink, commandant of Stalag 13 (where there have never been any escapes, ever), this series really does succeed.
Zany, improbable, inventive, silly, and hugely influential on many comedies which followed, this showed the Germans constantly outsmarted while not presenting them as mindless psychotic thugs - although it was clear who was on the 'right side', as Hogan and his troops prove with their underground operation, beautifully showcased in a couple of the early episodes.
