Sometimes a single TV episode can exemplify the spirit of its time and the properties that make television a unique medium. A Very Special Episode presents The A. V. Clubs survey of TV at its most distinctive. For six yearslonger than the American involvement in World War IIthe prisoners of Hogans HeroesLuftwaffe Stalag 1. Nazis from deep inside enemy territory. They sabotaged major operations, fed intelligence to Allied command, offered aid to the resistance, and did their best to make their captors lives incrementally more annoying, day by day. Then their job was done, unceremoniously. When the sitcom MAH ended, it wrapped with a two and a half hour event, watched by a record breaking audience that tuned in to see how the men and women of the 4. Korean War. When Hogans Heroes ended, it just ended. No finale. No closure. No invitation to fans to see the men of Stalag 1. Germans one last time. On April 4, 1. 97. CBS aired Rockets Or Romance, a Hogans Heroes episode so unexceptional that Brenda Scott Royces book Hogans Heroes Behind The Scenes At Stalag 1. Colonel Bob Hogan played by Bob Crane gets word that the Germans are deploying a new secret weapon that could help win the war, and he and his fellow POWsan eclectic group of flyers from varied Allied Air Forcesscramble to distract and deceive the camps Kommandant, Colonel Klink Werner Klemperer, and his right hand man, Sgt. Schultz John Banner, until the weapons can be disarmed. All just another day at the office. Rockets Or Romance wasnt even the last episode filmed for Hogans Heroes sixth season. In keeping with the way TV was made at that time, Rockets Or Romance was one of a batch of episodes written and shot as part of the regular production cycle, then scheduled for broadcast after they were in the can. Because Hogans Heroes wasnt serialized, episodes could run in any order, so the producers and the network decided later which finished episode would make the strongest season premi. Most likely, no one at either the network level or from the team at Bing Crosby Productions gave much thought to whether Rockets Or Romance would be the best way to bid farewell to Hogans Heroes. Not that the producers and cast werent aware that their time was up. In Royces book, several people who worked on the show are quoted as saying that BCP was eager to sell Hogans Heroes into syndication, which in those days didnt happen while a series was still running. Also, by 1. 97. 1 CBS was in the process of changing its image, canceling its cornier programs and replacing them with more sophisticated fare. In its final season, Hogans Heroes aired on Sunday nights, right after Lassie and right before The Ed Sullivan Show and The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hourall relics from an earlier age. But during that year, CBS also debuted The Mary Tyler Moore Show and All In The Family. One year after Hogans Heroes was canceled, The Bob Newhart Show joined the lineup, along with MS. Howard Caine, who played Major Hochstetter on Hogans Heroes, said that he could see the writing on the wall during that last year. Now, we were extremely popular with the kids, young people. And thats where they placed us to kill us. And we knew it. Yet nothing really changed about Hogans Heroes in its sixth season, aside from one big cast change Ivan Dixon left the show at the end of season five, replaced by another black actor, Kenneth Washington, playing a different character whose duties on Hogans team were the same as Dixons characters had been. The reason for the switch out went unexplained on the show itself, again because Hogans Heroes wasnt serialized, and rarely acknowledged what had happened in previous episodes. Hogans Heroes existed in a kind of limbo. Not only could any episode have been a viewers first episode just about any of them couldve been the shows first. Watch Person Of Interest Season 3 Episode 9. Rockets Or Romance was written by Arthur Julian and directed by Marc Daniels both TV lifers, and opens with a bit of drama like something out of The Bridge On The River Kwai. While Hogan and his men are outside digging ditches and complaining to Schultz, a man claiming to be a Luftwaffe general rolls up with a flat on his car, demanding that the prisoners change the tire, which Hogan refuses to do. Laugh track aside, the scene is very cinematic, with subtle camera moves and zooms and the stand off between Hogan and the officer is fairly tense, until Schultz gamely offers to change the tire, at which point its revealed that the officer is actually an agent of the underground, and that the whole confrontation has been a ruse to feed Hogan intel. Hogan learns that the Luftwaffe have three mobile rocket launchers moving into position to blitz London. Two of them are near a resistance outpost, and Hogans been ordered to rendezvous with an operative there, to uncover and transmit the exact location to the Allies, wholl then blow up those two weapons. The third launcher is located inside Stalag 1. Klink, who doesnt believe he can spare the men to guard it. So his superior, General Burkhalter Leon Askin, commands him to move some prisoners to kitchen duty to fill in the gaps. The conversation between Klink and Burkhalterand Schultz, whos in the room too, but promises to hear nuuuuh thinkis indicative of their usual dynamic. Burkhalter thinks Klinks an incompetent, terrified of his own prisoners. But its because Klinks such a dummkopf that hes able to maintain a perfect no escape record. Hogan and his men know they can run operations right under his and Schultzs noses, and frequently do whatever they can to make their jailers look good. Its a symbiotic relationship, with Klink giving Hogan slack in order to maintain his illusion of control. When Hogans contact deduces that the rocket launcher at Stalag 1. Klink was nervous aboutto distract Schultz while they get a closer look at the weapon. French Corporal Louis Le. Beau Robert Clary and British Corporal Peter Newkirk Richard Dawson give Schultz a choice of dishes for the evening menu, dazzling him with exotic sounding names like vichyssoise and p. Because of the elaborate network of tunnels and gadgets that the prisoners of Stalag 1. Hogan was able to come and go as he pleased from the camp but always he had a job to do, which kept him from feeling free in the conventional sense. Hogan tries to enjoy his downtime with this lovely lady, Lily Marlyn Mason, while theyre waiting for the rockets to show up. But duty keeps intervening, right up to the point when the launchers arrive and Hogan and Lily have to call in the locationat which point the episode cuts to grainy stock footage of bombers, as though the heroes had alerted Allied command to send a WWII movie in to save them. Rockets Or Romance ends with the prisoners putting their gyroscopic sabotage plan into action, right when Klink is about to launch a rocket toward London. Instead, the rocket heads to Burkhalters neighborhood, roughly in the area of his house. That ending was also par for the course for Hogans Heroes. Though the show wasnt serialized, it did expect its audience to become familiar with characters traits and habits over time Schultzs gullibility, Klinks cowardice, Burkhalters bourgeoisie tastes, and so on. Thats how the production originally got around the criticism that it was trying to sell the viewing public funny Nazis. In the world of Hogans Heroes, the Germans were primarily just petty bureaucrats, trying to get through the day and head home. The show wasnt as overtly anti war as MS would be, but it did make fun of the business of war, by turning Klink into another harried sitcom dad and Hogan into his precocious teenager. Regardless, Hogans Heroes was controversial, at least at first.
