"One of the shows I was hired to promote was Hogan's Heroes,
a situation comedy set--I still can't believe it--in a Nazi prisoner of
war camp. As a satirist, I couldn't help lampooning the whole idea
of the thing. Here's how one comercial ended up, with me interviewing
Bob Crane, the star of the show.
FREBERG: Where does the show take place?
CRANE: In a Nazi prisoner of war camp in Germany.
FREBERG: Always a good situation comedy locale. What
are some of the amusing ingredients?
CRANE: Oh, German plice dogs... machine guns... the Gestapo...
FREBERG: Just a few of the laugh-provoking elements to
be seen this fall on Hogan's Heroes, Friday nights on CBS. Shall
we say, "If you liked World War II, you'll love Hogan's Heroes?
CRANE: No, let's not say that, no."
