Summary: Great Reading!
Review: Mrs.Royce really knows her T.V. history! I thought the book was very well written and easy to understand. I just love the section with all the episode plots. I also like the cast bios Mrs.Royce wrote. The one she wrote about Richard Dawson saddened me a little because she said he was a recluse and none of his friends have seen him in years.

Summary: This book is a great escape!
Review: My first reaction was, gee, do we really need a book about "Hogan's Heroes"? But a slight tug of nostalgia for a TV show I enjoyed as a kid won out over skepticism and I took a chance. I'm glad I did. The author does a nice job telling the story of a show that, in these politically correct 1990s, is often frowned upon. How dare somebody make a comedy about life in a WWII POW camp! Well, the author examines both sides of this loaded issue in a thoughtful and interesting and fun way, with insight even from the actors who themselves debated the matter. What the show's critics might have forgotten -- and what this book reminded me -- was that this was not a mean-spirited show. It was amiable and genuinely funny. Nice job.

Summary: Whets the appitite
Review: The moment I receive the box containing this book, I gobbled it up [the book, not the box]. A much appreciated 'Red Cross package' for any Hogan's Heroes fan. I particularly enjoyed the episode guide portion. Although it is not a blast by blast account of every bit of dialogue or mayhem per episode [great pity], it is still more detailed than other episode guides of other sit. coms.The few disappointments: 1) Very few pictures, and those that are there are in black and white. 2) Not enough lengthly descriptions of my favorite bits in each plot summary. Still, the author would need to put in every line in every script to satisfy me completely.

Summary: Brought back great memories
Review: This is a fun book that brought back a lot of fond memories. In addition to remembering all the wacky escapades of Klink and company, I was intrigued to read about the backstage history and the actors' real lives. Well done!

Summary: Very very complete! Indispensible for Hogans Heroes fans!
Review: This is a very comprehensive edition of this book. It covers just about everything there is to cover about the show, the characters, roles of re-curring actors and more. It's an improvement over the original version that came across as more of a text book. This version has a better color and more eye-appealing graphics inside. The episode guide is very handy while watching episodes from the video collection (mine's from Columbia House). The only drawbacks I can think of is that it could use more color photos and I did notice one trivia answer that was incorrect--The coffee pot is a direct-line hook-up and is not a radio receiver... but aside from minor things like that I heartily recommend this book.
