There's a local UHF station that's showing a lot of the old stuff.
KDOCTV.net.

Rat Patrol looks amazingly good. Wild Wild West - the early ones, in
B&W, are very good too. Combat hasn't held up as well. McHale's Navy
and Hogan's Heroes - uneven, but moments of goodness.

Interestingly, I heard a while back that someone had decided to run Hogan's
Heroes in Germany. I don't recall whether they dubbed in the conversations
or ran subtitles; but the show was not popular. (Duh!)

In any case, they changed the conversations and made Sergeant Schultz and
Colonel Klink much less competent; and the show became a smash hit.

Trivia: the guy who played Lebow was in Drancy concentration camp
during WW2. Werner Klemperer really COULD play the violin. Werner
Klemperer (Klink) played Eichman and John Banner (Schultz) played Hoess
in a movie. There, I knew you cared deeply.
