Description:
HOGAN’S HEROES: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON focuses on a group of American soldiers, led by Colonel Hogan (Crane), who are confined in a Nazi prisoner of war camp called Stalag 13 during World War II. While trapped in Stalag 13, the inmates conduct an espionage and sabotage campaign right under the noses of their warders. Because the Germans, led by the bumbling Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Emmy Award®-winning actor Klemperer), are often gullible, the real strength of Hogan’s men are the elaborate ruses and sometimes dangerous lengths they will go to complete their mission.

A top 10 show in its first season (a top 20 show in its second), Hogan's Heroes, like Gilligan's Island, got little love from critics during its seven-year run, but it would come to be ranked among TV's guiltiest pleasures. Hogan's Heroes has gotten something of a bad rap. It is not a situation comedy set in a concentration camp. It is, instead, set in a P.O.W. camp, where Col. Hogan (Bob Crane, a former top radio jock, in his star-making role) and his men "trick the dumb Germans," to quote the late Crane's former wife, Sigrid Valdis, in her enlightening commentary on the episode, "Hogan Gives a Birthday Party." While Valdis reveals that the film Von Ryan's Express was a key inspiration for the series, the show seems to takes its cue from Billy Wilder's Stalag 17, with its blend of comedy (albeit more broad than darkly cynical) and espionage action. Though camp commandant Col. Klink (Werner Klemperer, who would win an Emmy for his career-defining role) was, in the words of one character, "a bubble-headed fool," Hogan's Heroes was not quite a burlesque of bad taste.
Seemingly in response to wide-ranging outrage over the show's misunderstood premise (a Mad magazine parody at the time was brutal), there are some bracing dramatic moments that cut through the comedy. In "Operation Briefcase," Hogan is recruited to assist an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Hogan disdainfully tells the German plotter, "It's the least you can do, considering you're the same bunch of guys who put him in business." In the episode "Will the Real Adolf Hitler Please Stand Up?" Hogan explodes at one of his men when he imitates Hitler. "Imitating that nut in Berlin," he fumes. "It's not all that funny." But somehow, Hogan's Heroes is, thanks to Crane and Klemperer ("You talk about two people born to play a part," remarks Valdis), not to mention John Banner as the jowl-cheeked buffoon, Sgt. Schultz, and the rest of the crack ensemble, including real-life concentration camp survivor Robert Clary as LeBeau, Richard Dawson as Newkirk, Ivan Dixon as "Kinch," and Valdis herself, who debuted this season as Klink's secretary, Hilda, she of the scene-stealing tight sweaters and low-cut peasant blouses, and whose chief dialogue consisted of "Col. Hogan to see the commandant." The extras are a retro blast. The most bizarre is a commercial in which Carol Channing is smuggled into the barracks to enjoy a Jello dessert with Hogan and company. --Donald Liebenson

A number of things have changed between the premiere Season 1 DVD set and this one, for Season 2.
For one thing, the box set is smaller. It has a few less episodes (because that's what TV networks began doing at the time, ordering fewer episodes), and the five disks that comprise the season are contained in three cases.
Not that that's a bad thing. It really doesn't make any difference. What does make a difference is the menu that is used for this edition of the show. ... Read More

I love Hogans Heroes, and this season is my favorite. If you haven't bought a HH season yet, buy this first. Why? Because it is the best season of all and has the best episode of the series "Art for Hogan's Sake."
It is hard to imagine HH without all of the main characters, that is why the final season without Kinchlow is the least favorite of mine. HH#2 is the most original and most humorous of all. (But all of the others are VERY enjoyable as well.) You will be able watch these ... Read More

It's great to see this second season of Hogan's Heroes so perfectly intact, that each episode still wears the network announcement that it is in color (which also appears at the beginning of 31 of 32 first season DVD shows). By (1966-67) all prime time television was broadcast in color, though during season one (1965-66) Hogan in color was up against ABC's The Addams Family in black and white on Friday nights. Season two of Hogan's Heroes is just as brilliant as season one. Watching the episodes in chronolgical ... Read More

This is the most fun we've had "watching t.v." in a long time. We grew up watching Hogan's Heroes reruns. I taped as many episodes as I could in recent years for our children to enjoy as we had. They love this show! But we suspected that increased number of commercials had cut into the episodes. We imagined segments of film lying on the cutting room floor. Well, now we know that to be true - we had missed so much great comedic content! There are numerous scenes or parts of scenes per episode that never made ... Read More
