Hogan’s Heroes is a television sitcom set in a Nazi German
prisoner-of-war (POW) camp during World War II. It ran for
168 episodes (six seasons) from September 17, 1965, to
April 4, 1971, on the CBS network, the longest broadcast
run for an American television series inspired by that war.

Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, coordinating
an international crew of Allied prisoners running a special
operations group from the camp. Werner Klemperer played
Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the gullible commandant of the camp,
and John Banner played the blundering but lovable sergeant-
of-the-guard, Hans Schultz.

Frank Bonner (Frank Woodrow Boers Jr.)
(1942 – 2021)

(NEW YORK POST) – Frank Bonner, who played Herb
Tarlek on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati” has died.

The family said Bonner passed away “peacefully”
Wednesday amid his battle with Lewy body dementia.

On February 28, 1983, the celebrated sitcom M*A*S*H bows out
after 11 seasons, airing a special two-and-a-half hour episode
watched by 77 percent of the television viewing audience. It was
the largest percentage ever to watch a single TV show up to that
time.

Set near Seoul, Korea, behind the American front lines during
the Korean War, M*A*S*H was based on the 1968 novel by Richard
Hooker and the 1970 film produced by 20th Century Fox and
directed by Robert Altman. Its title came from the initials for the
Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time
TV was Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

The Flintstones animated sitcom was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and was originally broadcast on ABC from September
30, 1960, to April 1, 1966.

In 2013, TV Guide ranked The Flintstones the second-greatest TV cartoon of
all time (after The Simpsons).
