You're right. I grabbed the first link I saw and it looks like it's a documentary. It's been so long I forgot what it was called. This is the one I watched too.
They were always being chased all over the desert by the same German officer with dark hair as I remember.
Amen Dennis! And we're none the worse for missing it. Must confess though that I watch some now. Like to watch the Red Wings ... Pirates baseball games ... some of the car fix em up stuff ... CBC journalism shows ... PBS specials by Ken Burns and 60 minutes sometimes. But this is because I'm getting up in years and it suits my increasingly delicate condition. LOL
LOL....I grabbed the first link as well and after I posted it I saw it was an animation of the opening for the TV show. Pretty funny that they actually did this. Looks like it was done from a video game
That half sword thrown out of the fort becomes his "special" weapon then in the series. He sharpened the tip, wears it in a long leg scabbard, fights weekly to prove his innocence with it.
5-6 channels is something I never experienced. In my hometown in a valley in North-Central Pa, we could only get 3 channels out of Scranton, and they were pretty fuzzy. Some days there was no signal at all. Our valley was a test market for cable starting in 1958. When my folks decided to try it in the mid 60's it was $4.50 a month and we got 13 channels. 4 came out of Scranton, 4 from NYC, 4 from Philly and 1 locally run station. The independent stations out of Philly and NY ran all the reruns. I have never known TV without cable except when my parents had it disconnected every year for summer vacation from June through August. But we were always outside during the summer so it really wasn't even noticed. On a side note; my dad did a little fancy rigging and hooked the cable line to his stereo receiver so we got radio stations from the big cities as well. I grew up listening to 93.3 WMMR out of Philly.
I was talking with my brother recently about cable bills and he mentioned that he remembered my dad arguing with mom about getting cable. She wanted it and argued that it was only 10-15 bucks a month. His argument was that it would just keep going up....boy was he ever right
