Yes, I still watch this show these days (though for me, “watch” may be the wrong word). I’ve seen all these METV shows so many times that these days, I use them as background noise while drawing. Because I’ve seen them so many times, I know what’s going on visually, so just listening to the dialogue is all I need.

If you’re any fan of the show and haven’t seen the 2002 film “Auto Focus” you should check it out. It’s not great and it’s mostly about the life (and mysterious death) of Bob Crane, but it’s worth just checking out for the recreation of “Hogan’s Heroes” scenes and the reaction that the American public had to this show at the time.
