Are/were you a fan of Hogan's Heroes? If they made a remake would you watch it?

He married the actress who played Helga right?

No. Helga was the secretary in season one. Hilda was in season two, THAT is who he married. Sigrid Valdis,

i don't think a remake would work but if someone has a hankering for an alternate version of sorts they should check out the disney cartoon from the late 90's 'recess'. there are TONS of hogan's heroes references in it.

Maybe they'll tell us who Nimrod was in the reboot.

Loved watching Hogan's Heroes at my grandfather's farm.
He had all of them on DVD. Nightly routine.

Yep watch it but not one of my favorites. Would probably not watch remake

Was a great show and it still holds up IMO. We just watched the entire series recently.

There has been a script for a movie floating around for years and there was a rumor of a remake a few years back with Mel Gibson as Hogan but I just don't see it working for many reasons.

One thing that probably helped the TV show is many of the people in it lived through or were directly affected by the Holocaust.
They were able to keep it funny and not glorify anything.
I'm not sure the current crop of movie folks could make it funny. Its pretty rare a remake works anymore.
I can only imagine the cast they would put together. Kevin Heart, Jack Black, etc... No thanks.

I think the show still holds up because of the talented stars that were in it. I don’t think a remake would work though.

My mom used to watch Hogan's Heroes because of Richard Dawson and I don't know why she liked him but he was a big crush of my mom. I cannot figure out how METV plays so much Hogan's Heroes and they should replace Hogan's Heroes with another classic show. But I don't think a reboot of Hogan's Heroes would work today. Was this Richard Dawson's first big break before Family Feud and did he actually get famous before Hogan's Heroes?

He was a known comedian in the UK and did a few guest appearances on other shows, but Hogans Heroes was his claim to fame, at least in the US for sure. Family Feud came later, and he's still the best host. He had such charm.

BTW- This is streaming on Amazon FreeVee and its the restored in HD version.
That is one of the great things about some of these older shows that were shot on film - they can redo them in HD from the original film.

Same thing for I dream of Jeannie - but that is not streaming for free currently - it was a few months back.

The further we get from World War 2, the less likely people would be interested. I agree with others who said the endless number of remakes/revivals/etc. seem more like they have run out of creative ideas for NEW shows. CSI and NCIS are typical examples.............same show/storyline but in a different city with different actors. Shows are probably all filmed in Hollywood with sets made to look like a particular city or perhaps a few on-location shots. Now a remake of "Matlock" apparently starting soon. No idea if this is supposed to be his granddaughter, but otherwise trying to benefit from the popularity of the prior show.
