In Memoriam

[neoplacebo]

Rerun of the Emmy's salute to the Beach Boys last night was good, but it was weird to see Brian sitting there watching this soon after he died.

I think you just made a stupid headline......"weird to see Brian sitting there watching this soon after he died." I know what you mean, but a headline junkie would seize on this as quick as I did if it were in some media.

You're right.

I liked Kinch better.

In the context of the show, Washington portrayed the character of Sergeant Richard Baker. Succeeding Staff Sergeant James "Kinch" Kinchloe's place after actor Ivan Dixon left the series following its fifth season

Wow, Robert Clary made it to 96.

Wow, Robert Clary made it to 96.

Born 3/1/26 in Paris.

... In 1942, because he was Jewish, he was deported to the Nazi concentration camp at Ottmuth, in Upper Silesia (now Otmęt, Poland). He was tattooed with the identification "A5714" on his left forearm. He was later sent to Buchenwald concentration camp....

He survived by singing. Of all the people to be in a German POW camp comedy, wow!

All of the "Nazis" in Hogan's Heroes were Jews. IIRC, the deal was they would never be the hero of an episode.

Not just Jews but 3 of the 4 top German roles were German Jews (like my paternal grandfather's family) who fled the Nazis before or during World War II. The other was an American Jew.

IMO, John Banner (Schultz) was the comedic hero of some episodes, at his expense.
