THE BEST EVER!!!

I grew up wanting to be part of this squad more than anything else when I could've enlisted

Now I know were the makers of the modern World War II Shooters and the makers of XCOM had taken their inspiration for the shooting scenes from, seriously.

Phim rất hay sen đan tình cảm

Maybe all my classmates were afflicted with Early Onset Hypertestosteronism, but none of us ever played Air Corps or Navy...Saunders was our "deity" and his crew were the "apostles". His Thompson was and is our "grail".

My Dad, a WWII vet wouldn't let me watch Hogan's Heroes. He said it made being a POW look like it was one big party, which it wasn't.

John Gould 81 years old now I hope!

Well, I really have to agree with you. With such a great close up, he should have gotten a mention in the list of credits.

Yes that was the great warren spahn

Spahn is my favorite left handed pitcher ever (Bob Gibson is my favorite righty). One of my prized possessions is a baseball autographed by him. He was not only a great pitcher, he was a colorful character as well. You could fill a book with Warren Spahn stories.

Comcast called me today wanting to sign me up for TV service along with our internet we currently have with them, and I said that I do not have time for TV because I have my favorite things that I watch on youtube, then she said "we have great live stream programs also, and i said everything that I care to watch I can fins on youtube for free. Thanks so much for all of these wonderful uploads that you do for us GR, it's much appreciated. I have had heart surgery and I'm in for a slow recovery and this is so good to have as my pass time!

@@tomallen9978 You got that right, modern TV is crap. They don't get any money from me either!

It's just a tv show, ok?

@@kathrynmcmahon4048 It's more than just a TV show, I think you don't appreciate this show very much!😐

Yes it is just a tv show. But some things in life are very inspirational for many people across many generations and this is one for many people. You may have a favorite tv show or movie etc that brings happiness or some other emotions out on you. For many of us Combat fills that part. Just sayin …

H Pn Many directors. Many writers too.

Yes, thank you so very much!!!

Thanks! I didn't know who it was but I had to wonder why he got such a good close up. He looks very threatening.

Agree, too over sentimental and oafy. Robert at 69. Kirby my kind of guy.

I thought that was pretty cool too

@@METALMISFIT6 lassie

Count the remaining fingers, lol..

Photo chopped

Me too, along with 3 or 5 other kids during the time Combat! was on primetime on ABC. Our neighborhood was France almost all day long on a Saturday or sometimes during the summer. A lot of the old houses in my old neighborhood were built by old Italian Stone Masons which are still there. So it did give it that WWII feel to it when we played Combat! Or we pretended that we were in the South Pacific, and we would head for the beach and dig fox holes in the sand. The adults would get a kick out of that when they saw us with our helmets and our WWII toy rifles and machine guns. With one kid, he and I would be at his grandmother's house and she had two lounge chairs that would lean back and we pretended that we were flying a bomber. He was the pilot and I was the copilot. It was cool the way we moved around on those lounge chairs like we were getting hit by enemy fighter pilots or the guns down below were trying to bring our bomber down. Kids don't play like that anymore. I am so glad I was a kid in the 60's. Now at the age of 63 I still have those fond memories and always will.

We did too. I had the Combat walkie talkie and helmet i got for Christmas. I had an older sister that was in nursing school then. With her driving we used the seat belts like radios. She loved Twelve O’Clock High.

We would use dirt clods as grenades, and roll down the hill or dirt pile, make shooting sounds..

Same. We’d mimic the theme song and when one was playing a German, you’d spin before falling after being shot.

me too not nowadays people would scorn ya

billy's a twit

This is the first episode i outright disliked. Special place or not, dereliction of duty in the face of the enemy could face the firing squad and if I had had a soldier perform as Little John did here, I'd have recommended it. Not once, not twice but thrice LJ placed his personal desire above the safety of the squad. At minimum, he would be gone from my command

Ernest Cote LJ did wheat he had to do because it was in the SCRIPT... and he had to make sure Billy was back for next weeks episode... y’all take this stuff too damn literal..

He represented innocence in the middle of all the death. I was sorry he chose to leave.

Billy was an acting dweeb who needed to stick with Walt Disney and Surf pictures..witness exibit A...'That darn cat' with Dean Jones and Haley Mills about 1964/65. Robert at 69.

The Dirty Dozen.

Jim Brown. Disapointed Franco got it in the end. Rober at 69.

I had an Army Patch, " Follow Me " Honestly, "P.J."

I also carried a SWITCH Blade. I had to carry Lots of knives. " Ghost Soldier "

POW ☆ MIA YOUR NOT FORGOTTEN DECEMBER 24TH, 2024, amen. XXX...

Yup, nothing to see here. Just a couple of unexplained explosions. Lol

Yes!!! I thought the same thing!

Here we go again.. " Littlejohn " , his last name. Not " Little John ".

Thanks I had no idea.

You fuckin' idiot, it's Littlejohn not Little John. He was not the pitcher. Warren Spahn , of the then Milwaukee Braves was. Spahn was the German soldier in the close up in the first scene. Gosh damn, can you people get anymore stupid.

I guess that you know that his name was " Saunders ".

I had noticed back in season 1. Filmed in Thousand Oasks, CA

Saunders alone would have out-medaled Saint Audie.

Peabody thought of himself as ugly. His WIFE was a MODEL. Peabody himself worked a lot in radio as I recall.

German is the easiest second language for English speakers to learn. English is a Germanic language its self.

Marki Faux POW vs dead...hmm let me think. I’ll take POW.

Try ' Littlejohn '.

I so would’ve busted Little John to buck private …

Bruce7 You have got to be kidding!

@@gaylealston4089 6 agreed!

That's TV for you.

Yes, it struck as rather odd. I know paper vork can be very engrossing though.

Yes!!!😃

Yes. He''s the German soldier in the close-up in the opening scene.

HE' THE 👨

I saw that.

Vic Morrow served in the US Navy but only from 1946. He enlisted at 17 years of age.

not nearly as bad as all the other tv shows that passed for entertainment then ...or now .

Thought that as well.
