HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Re-live the adventures of Colonel Robert Hogan and his motley crew of fellow prisoners as they try to cause as much havoc and disruption to the Nazi war effort as possible when HOGAN’S HEROES™ THE KOMPLETE SERIES, KOMMANDANT’S KOLLECTION arrives on DVD November 24 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.
Packaged together for the first time, the 28-disc set includes all six seasons of the smash-hit series, as well as an arsenal full of extras including home movies, bloopers and audio commentaries. The set will also contain an entire disc of new to DVD special features, including an extended version of the pilot with rare introduction, a new cast interview with Richard Dawson and a photo montage including unseen images set to a performance of the show’s theme song by Bob Crane and his band. Brand new “Kommandant Rank” graphics and packaging have been designed for this special set.
Garnering two Emmy® nominations for his role, Bob Crane stars as Colonel Hogan, who together with his fellow Prisoners of War at Stalag 13 cleverly outwit their German captors. Firing off a non-stop string of one-liners from behind enemy lines, the ragtag team – including Richard Dawson, Robert Clary and Larry Hovis – lead a relentless comic assault on their Nazi captors, conducting espionage and sabotage campaigns right under the noses of their warders. While the enemy is often gullible, easily fooled or downright incompetent, the real strength of Hogan’s men are the elaborate ruses and sometimes dangerous lengths they will go to complete their mission. Werner Klemperer earned back-to-back Emmy awards for his role as the German Colonel Wilhelm Klink. Airing from 1965 through 1971, HOGAN’S HEROES™ garnered three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series.
HOGAN’S HEROES™ THE KOMPLETE SERIES, KOMMANDANT’S KOLLECTION arrives armed with a disc of new to DVD material, including:
- A new interview with Richard Dawson, who played Corporal Peter Newkirk
- An extended version of the pilot episode “The Informer,” with a very rare network introduction
- A segment from Hollywood Palace, featuring the cast of Hogan’s Heroes
- Audio of the HOGAN’S HEROES™ theme song performed by Bob Crane and his band accompanied by a special photo montage of images from the show and numerous rare behind-the-scenes photographs
