[edit] Transfer to Italy in series

Just a comment on the so-called rarity of transfers from one theatre to another during the war. I never heard of a PT boat transferring but many larger ships did. The battleship USS Washington was assigned to the British Home Fleet covering convoys to Russia against the Tirpitz ..and after the close of hostilities in Europe, even before in fact once the Allies had landed in France, many ships were transferred to the Pacific.83.180.227.134 10:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC) J.A.

Transferring from the Pacific to elsewhere was much more rare than from elsewhere to the Pacific. The Pacific Theater was World War II's endgame.

I've seen the TV series location move from the South Pacific to the Mediterranean described as jumping the shark, though the term came into use over a decade later. Binksternet (talk) 15:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reruns

why aren't there re-runs of this on TV?

[edit] Which came first?

Did Hogan's Heroes come first, and McHale's Navy come second?

McHale's Navy ran from 1962 to 1966. Hogan's Heroes ran from 1965 to 1971. Other military sitcoms of the era were The Phil Silvers Show (aka Sergeant Bilko) which ran from 1955 to 1959 and Gomer Pyle, USMC which ran from 1964 to 1970. MK2 03:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Writers

Were any of the writers on Hogan's Heroes also on McHale's Navy?

[edit] NBC?

Why was this article added to the NBC show category? As far as I can tell, it was always an ABC series. MK2 23:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Probably because it was filmed by Universal Studios.Dogru144 09:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

C'mon, lads, a picture'd be nice. Jachra 05:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
