Hogan's Heroes - Part 9 / by Mark

We're moving onto Season 3 of Hogan's Heroes...

  • Allied Command is sending a special expert to destroy a convoy--it's "The Crittendon Plan". Unfortunately, it's the wrong plan--he wants to plant geraniums. Crittendon is just so helpless...
  • The Nazis are training on RAF planes, and the boys need to stop them in "Some of Their Planes Are Missing". It's party time for Hogan, who needs an alibi.
  • We're finally tying into actual WWII events--in this case, D-Day. The Nazis are making their final plans--at Stalag 13? There's also a deep cover female agent who may no longer be on the good guys' side. Plus, everyone's convinced that Klink will be the new German Chief of Staff. It's "D-Day at Stalag 13".
  • Schultz the great lover? Unfortunately for him, he's in love with a Gestapo spy. Unfortunately for her, he knows NO (wait for it) THING. The spy is played by Joyce Jameson--you might recognize her as one of the Fun Girls on the Andy Griffith Show
  • We're back in Mission: Impossible territory--a British flyer is given a mission to kill Churchhill, or at least his double is. Again, we get the classic double shot with the obvious line in the middle. Lloyd Bochner plays the dual role    --you would recognize his face if you've ever watched TV.  He had hundreds of guest roles from the 1950's to the 2000's.
  • Burkhalter's sister is back--this time as Klink's replacement secretary. Hogan scams Klink that she's a Gestapo spy, so he has to woo her. The boys also take out the real spy.

Cast info:

Kenneth Washington (Sgt. Baker) was Ivan Dixon's replacement in the last season of Hogan's Heroes. There is scant biographical information on Washington--born 1946, had several guest roles in 1960-70's crime shows (DragnetAdam-12Police Story) and sitcoms (My Three SonsI Dream of JeanniePetticoat Junction), as well as a cameo on Star Trek. His last role was on A Different World in 1989, although he is apparently still alive. 

Remember, you can play along! The DVD box set is available on Amazon.
