Anybody have any guesses on my 4 war shows:

A) Is not Rat Patrol. It was a one hour war show, that took place in the European Theater in WWII. It was a platoon of infantry and the main characters were an officer, and NCO of the platoon.

B) Was a short lived series made from a successful movie based upon a true occurence in the Pacific Theater, that involved the Army and the Navy and some coast watchers.

C) Was the most timely of the shows, all about The Eighth Army Air Corp, and daylight bombardment pre D-Day in WWII.

D) You already know, which was also based (loosely) on a real story.

They look familiar but I'm drawing a blank.

A) Is not Rat Patrol. It was a one hour war show, that took place in the European Theater in WWII. It was a platoon of infantry and the main characters were an officer, and NCO of the platoon. Combat

B) Was a short lived series made from a successful movie based upon a true occurrence in the Pacific Theater, that involved the Army and the Navy and some coast watchers. Tough one. Leaning towards Baa Baa Blacksheep, or Mchales Navy.

C) Was the most timely of the shows, all about The Eighth Army Air Corp, and daylight bombardment pre D-Day in WWII. 12 o clock high

D) You already know, which was also based (loosely) on a real story.

Awesome VEER is the man!

A) Is Combat, the actor on the left is Ric Jason. It is a bit misleading because Vic Morrow was the face of the show, and is not pictured.

B) Is the "Wackiest Ship in the Army", my ringer. It was a good show and a true story. I think it had too hard a time distuinguishing itself from McHales Navy.

C) Is 12 'ockock High.

Reps to you!

Inglorious Basterds

Epic. Righteous. Movie.

Winning.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Not Saving Private Ryan, nor Inglorious Basterds. Hell the last one was so far off, though a great watch, that they had to change the way they spelled it, because they didn't want any random bastards suing them.

Hot Shots Part Deux?

An Officer and a Gentleman?

Schultz: "I know nothing!" Used to watch Hogan's Heroes with my pop.


Some of my favorites growing up:

....mmmm Kelly Kapowski

And while it wasn't a traditional TV show I guess, dad and I used to watch Hulk Hogan, Andre, and Rowdy Roddy Piper all the time back in the day.
