Hogans Heroes

Hoganrsquo;s Heroes Originally Aired Between 1965 And 1971 On Cbs, Corresponding To The Most Uncertain Years Of Americarsquo;s Involvement In The Vietnam War. In An Era When Attitudes About The Military, Patriotism, And Authority Were Undergoing A Sea Change, Hoganrsquo;s Heroes Did Not Direct Commentary On The Conflict, But Instead Explored Incompetent Military Leaders, Draft Dodging, And Perpetual War In An Absurd Storyline About Allied Saboteurs Inside A World War Ii German Prisoner Of War Camp. In Hoganrsquo;s Heroes, Author Robert Shandley Argues That The Series Reveals Much About The Parameters Of Comedy On Militarism And War Before The Popularity Of Comedic Social Realism That Would Define Later Programs, Like The More Critically Acclaimed Mash.
