I didn't notice that LaBeau wasn't in the episode, but I always noticed Fraulein Helga (portrayed by Cynthia Lynn). 😙
Yes! She was delightful.
I met Robert Clary a few times through a fan club called the Eddie Cantor Appreciation Society (I'm not sure if this fan club is still active). He was an extremely nice man; quite jovial. One thing that stands out in my mind is that you could still see the number tatooed on his arm from the time he was in a concentration camp.
Cynthia Lynn passed away on March 10, 2024 at age 76. RIP
FUN FACT: The reason why Robert Clay did not appear in this episode is that he married Natalie Cantor. It created a personal conflict and was given the time off to get married.
That was going to be my question
Glad to hear Mr. Clary got married. Better than a behind the scenes problem
Rick.. another great Hogan's Heroes fun fact but you had to know everyone would wonder why he's not there and you don't mention a word. And if your research didn't come up with an answer.. shouldn't you have said you have no idea why he's not there? Again.. great video but just lacking that.
Very interesting to know. I like the character he played and also his real-life story.
Hogan's Heroes was never given a proper final episode.
This was the 1960s, when a show was cancelled back then that was IT, no finale or wrap-up show. The first TV show to do so was "The Fugitive" starring David Janssen. I forget the year but that one did have a finale where Richard Kimball's innocence was finally esatablished and the story line wrapped up. That final episode was (at that time) the most-watched TV show in history.
I read that they didn't really do wrap-up style episodes for most shows back then.
Although there was a later movie of Hogan’s Heroes after the war. It was very good but seldom is played.
@@robertladue7647 If so, where can I watch the movie if available?
@@ericmadsen7470 If there was such a movie, Hogan and Klink weren't in it. It's not in either of their IMDb profiles.
Notice that the Germans are carrying American arms in the early episodes of Hogan's? The guard who was protecting the water truck in the episode was carrying a Thompson SMG instead of a MP40. In fact, Sgt. Schultz carries a Krag rifle instead of a Gewehr 98 throughout the series.
I totally had a 'hold on' moment with that. I suppose you could say that they were using captured 1928A1s. I heard some German soldiers liked M1 carbines and would pick them up when possible. The studio probably didn't have access to many actual German small arms. In the 1960s, a lot of WWII movies were still being made and they probably had first dibs on historically correct weaponry.
The Germans did issue captured weapons to there own troops. There is a photo of a guard at a pow camp and he has a 1917 Enfield rifle. The krag that Shultz carries could have been correct if it had been Danish or Norwegian instead of american.
I picked up on that too, I said wait a minute that's a Thompson he's holding.
The German wasted nothing when it came to captured small arms. These oddball weapons found their way into secondary usage like camp guards and Police department roles where the ammunition supply wouldn't be as much as a problem since the weapons would rarely be fired. Schulz's Krag rifle could have come from Norwegian sources as Norway was occupied at the time. The Brits left massive quantities of small arms and equipment behind when they evacuated at Dunkirk. All captured weapons were given German designations and the list is considerable.
Even funnier is that the soldier has standard rifle ammo pouches rather than magazine pouches as the Thompson and MP40 used.
Rick. Good catch. I never noticed that Robert Clary was not in this episode. But I do remember the episode's best punch line. After Captain Mueller informs Colonel Klink that it's not mineral water in the barrel but Heavy Water used as a Neutron Moderator for Nuclear research, a panicky Klink says "I drank some of that water. Will I die from it?" To which Captain Mueller deadpans, "Only if Berlin finds out."😂😂😂😂
I don't think they ever explained Kinchloe's departure.
I think you’re right…they never did!
He quit so he could direct season 6 so he was kind of there
@@Fantaz000 actually he went on to other projects. He was under utilized in the series and went forward when his contract ran out.
I just wondered why they didn't work is a simple story line about maybe a transfer to another camp, so he can go home, keeping the reputation of Stalag 13 intact. So as to continue operations.
They just didn't mention it.
@@mikefagan6840 You are correct, my apoligies
Kinchloe was traded to Stalag 14 for Sergeant Richard Baker and two first round draft picks.
The German guard at the water truck was Spock's rival in Amok Time and also a Romulan in the Balance of Terror episode. He was also in the movie The Great Escape. Spock's wife was also Tiger on several episodes of Hogan's Heroes.
Lawrence Montaigne
Arlene Martel as T'Pring
As a kid & teen, this was my favorite show and what I watched it Mon thru Fri at 3:30. Also, I grew up in a part of the country where nuclear was VERY important. With that said, the BBC made a special on the German heavy water experiments and how the underground put an end to the experiments. It is a master class in espionage and sabotage.
The heavy water was under water thanks to Norwegian resistance fighters. National Geographic has a docu on the sabotage and analysis to see if it was enough loss of material to affect Germany's nuclear development (and it was).
La Beau must've been in the cooler during that episode. One of the few shows where there's an obvious explanation for a character to be temporarily missing.
Time off, he got married
@@coppertopv365yes but it could also give an in show explanation
Your research is always great to listen to, didn't know Mr. Stevenson's voice was Mr. Slate. I somehow started finding out who was doing the voices on the cartoons I watched growing up in the 60's and 70's. Keep on keeping on Rick! God bless
John Stevenson’s voice was all over the cartoon world. He was a regular on Scooby Doo, Josie and the pussycats and so many more Hanna/Barbera Shows.
There was at least a three episode arc where Richard Dawson was missing. I was noticable that he wasn't there because it was three in a row. You can sometimes notice when one of the other characters is missing from an episode, only because someone may show up that you normally didn't see. I did think that it was interesting that Dawson was listed in the final credits, even though his only appearance was in the opening credits.
I also seem to recall one episode where Ivan Dixon was missing when he was still on the show. They just said something to the effect that Kinchloe was down in the tunnel working the radio or something.
Newkirk only missed one episode, I have seen them all many times
@@markcornish2519 I was going by memory. I thought that it was more than one.
There was a Season 3 episode (War Takes a Holiday) in which Larry Hovis didn't appear. He was replaced by William "Father Mulcahy" Christopher as a character named Thomas.
The tv show The Wild Wild West Replaced Ross Martin in a few episodes because of a heart attack 😔 he eventually came back & finished out the series but had a heart attack after a tennis game & died. 😢
And Sebastian Cabot missed the last six or so eps of Family Affair at the end of season 1 without any guarantee he was going to return or even survive. Also, a heart attack, but I could be mistaken. He was replaced by French's "brother", played by the great John Williams.
John Stephenson did other voices on The Flintstones-not just Mr. Slate.
Yep...he was the original voice of Dr. Benton Quest, among others.
The Hostage is one of my personal favorites. Col. Hogan is so brave in that one, I want to cry.
Hogan is my favorite POW but Schultz is my favorite German.
Like most tv comedies the characters are basically interchangible because most of them lack any personality. Dialogue from any character can be used by any other character so long as the "catch phrase" of that character is used.
All of the Heroes have personality.
You big dummy!
@@proto-geek248 They have obviously NEVER watched this show! When Kinch left... Baker was NOT HIM!
I just watched this episode last week on Pluto TV and did not even notice LeBeau's absence!
LeBeau was sooooo adorable and cuddily.
During binge watching HH during lockdown, hubby and I did notice a # of the players not available for "roll call."
Something that Ive always found very fascinating is that Rod Serling who created the twilight Zone and many more TV programs had nothing good to say about the TV show Hogan's Heroes, he thought it made light of what the Nazi's did in WW2.
I agree. Nothing cute or humorous about the Nazi party
It did.
Agree, shameful
Well no it didn't. Bear in mind it was about a POW camp, not a concentration camp. Also, keep in mind many of the cast such as Robert Clary, John Banner, Leon Askin (General Burkhalter), Howard Caine (Gestapo Major Hochstetter) were Jewish. Werner Klemperer was half-Jewish. Klemperer, Banner, and Askin were refugees from Nazi Germany and Robert Clary was a concentration camp survivor. Now if those men didn't have a problem with the show, and as Clary put it "If you're an actor and you get a gig you say 'Thank you God!' and get on with it!" I don't see why anyone else should have a problem. (Howard Caine was from Tennessee although a WW2 veteran.)
Now on the other hand I knew someone who did have a legitimate beef with the show. One of my uncles was a US Army Air Force veteran of WW2 and didn't like the show at all. Why? Because it made the Germans look stupid. Not a lover of the Germans by the way as he put it "They were anything but stupid! They sharp as hell and damned dangerous! The only reason we beat 'em was they ran out of gas!" An oversimplification of course but that should give you one man's opinion who was there of how formidable the German Wehrmacht was.
All of the above considered though I enjoyed the show and apparantly so did many others, a TV show with a six year run isa pretty good success story.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 Im not disputing anything you just said, Im only relaying Rod serling's view on the show, he was also a WW2 vet
Everybody [ several ] , on Hogans Heroes ...changed " identities " . Carter in the first episode ...was a Lt ...escaping " into " the camp . Major Hochstedter was a general before he was a major . , Burkholder was a Colonel with a different name , early on . William Christopher , Father Mulcahy on MASH .....played 4-5 different roles on Hogans .
I missed him on the episode. I Grew up watching these TV shows . As a child and now I loved Louie LeBeau. Little man funny and cute 💕😂 Thanks for pointing out the actor John Stephenson as a voice actor , on The Flintstones show .👍📺 I watch the Flintstones . 🎭🎤🎬📺💕
I am not a big Hogan's Hero fan, but this is "very interesting". Just love these little tidbits!
To your comment about LeBeau, his character had lots of depth, je was the key to so much the heroes would accomplish due to his cooking skills, he volumteers to return to france to fight with the free french but then puts the loyalty towards the hereos over his very deep love for his country....and last but not ever least, Robert Clarey KNEW what life in a POW, or worse still CONCENTRATION CAMP was like, he was a french jew amd survived the internment in a Vichey concentration camp, you never see his bare arms because he has the serial number all jews wore tatooed on his arm.
I love that episode! Gosh, I just love your videos! Going to go watch the HH playlist. Thx for another GREAT video!
2:15 Carter has wedding band on.
He always refused to remove it, so they usually had him wearing gloves or otherwise tried to keep his left hand off the screen.
@@oldergent5266 There is an episode at the outside corner of the "hut" and he doesn't have gloves on and his hands (and ring) are right in the middle of the frame!
@@onestoptechnologies7305 Right. Like I said, they TRIED to keep his hand (and ring) out of the frame, but it occasionally snuck by. He was adamant, he would NOT take off his wedding ring!
@@oldergent5266 Yep... I respect his resolve! I was just saying there's a WAY more obvious example than the one Rick used.
He has it all the time. This is why he wears gloves. When he took them off, he refused to take off his ring
Robert Clary was in a prison camp during WW2.
He was in a concentration camp not a POW camp.
@@hrearden6993 You are right. Thank you.
Wow.
Buchenwald. The other members of his family sent to Auschwitz didn’t survive the war.
He survived by playing the song used in a latter episode for the guards in his concentration camp, when you see him doing those simple songs thats his go to for servival! 😊
That was interesting. I had never noticed LeBeau's absence.
@4:12 German guard carrying a U.S. Thompson subgun.
I’ve never got into this show, so I can’t comment on the subject, but I will say the video itself was well done with great film stills and interesting facts. And as always, the best voice over work! Great job! 👏
4:15 - I doubt a German soldier would be carrying a Thompson submachine gun, although it could be slightly possible, but highly unlikely.
Robert Clary and Natalie Cantor (dau of Eddie Cantor) were married in Vegas on 15 May 1965 and flew to Paris in September for a month honeymoon.
I’ve noticed they use the Olsen character to fill in when other heroes are absent.
Yep... I like him. He reminds me of a modern actor... can't figure out who. lol
I've heard of other shows that an emergency would come up that would take one of the main characters away and they'd either assign certain lines to different people or slip in a visiting relative or temporary transfer from someplace else. I've also heard that many times they make dialogue where anyone else could step in and play the part.
I love this episode, thank you for the information. Thanks Rick
I absolutely love HH....however I always thought it was odd that the setting of the camp was supposed to be "winter", but all the foliage in the background is in full bloom.
And the occasional view of power lines and other stuff in the background that would not be present in an actual setting. Hey, it's TV!
@@raygunsforronnie847 Not to mention an occasional palm tree if you look closely.
There was a similar situation with Richard Dawson. He was absent & they had another guy do his lines.
Greetings from Kentucky Rick. I am a huge Hogan's Heroes fan and yes, "Heavy Water" is one of my favorite episodes as well. I just figured that LeBeau was in the tunnels cooking during that episode LOL. Eddie Firestone was actually on Hogan's Heroes three times as different people: POW Miller, Sgt. Wilson, and POW Scotty. Another great Hogan's Heroes video. Thanks Rick, James
The petty theft man and the medic... I noticed him being reused. They reuse a lot of the people including John Stephenson(Captain Mueller) in other episodes. Rick pointed out one of the older guys being reused, but they did it a lot.
@@onestoptechnologies7305 Yes, just like using Alice Ghostley playing two different characters. Even the great Bernard Fox played two different characters. It's so funny.
@@user-zt6qh3mx7v Yeah... The tall British flier in Movies Are Your Best Escape(S01E08) is the gestapo officer in Color the Luftwaffe Red(S04E08). John Crawford was in 7 episodes total.
The problem with replacing a main character is that, the audience may like the replacement.
It was season one
Look at happy days.
The show was suppose to go around Richie and his Family. Only the audience like Fonzie.
So bye to the oldest son Chuck and hello to the dropout who moves in to the room above the garage and joins the family.
No one missed Chuck.
Same thing could have happened to Clary.
I've never seen this episode before but I would have noticed his absence, since it's an ensemble cast. Nice tidbit on the voice of Mr. Slate from the Flintstones.
"I have never been a huge LeBeau fan; I have nothing against them."
Them? Was LeBeau played by more than one actor?
I thought it was always Robert Clary, and only him.
And at least one other episode, William Christopher - yes, father Mulcahy from M*A*S*H - played a character to stand in for Carter.
If one of the regulars was not there and somebody from left field has a big presence, I noticed. There is an episode that Richard Dawson was not there but William Christopher was part of the team. It seen always seemed obvious to me.
They could always say he was out on a mission...but what happens at roll call?
They blackmail Shultz into telling Klink he's present. They've got a lot on Schultz!
Yeah, the "Heavy Water" episode was one of my favorites also. I'll never forget the line when Klink is caught drinking the heavy water. He says "Is it Poisonous" and the other German responds "Only if the High Command finds out you did" or something like that.... 🤣
Heavy Water (Deuterium Oxide - D2O) is indeed Toxic, BUT only if you drink large amounts of it. Even though that extra neutron in the hydrogen atoms doesn't take part in any chemical reaction, said neutron weakens what is known as hydrogen bonding - a process that the body uses in many chemical reactions. Too much D2O, and your body doesn't work right. Highly unlikely that one would ever drink too much D2O, however.
I always enjoy what u do!
Me too😊
The center guard at 2:01 was also in two episodes of Star Trek TOS - his name is Lawrence Montaigne
Never noticed, i did notice that carter was missing in a couple
I always was fascinated by the real life story behind Robert Clay and the reason he was so short. During his teen years he suffered severe malnutrition/starvation in a Nazi Concentration camp.
I love this show. Didn't really know Robert clarity wasn't even there!
Prior to hogan heros bob crane played dr Kelsey on the Donna Reed show.
Always interesting to see whenever someone was replaced on a show and to see the reasons why. I hope you’re doing well Rick, keep up the great work and take care!
Fun Fact: The first motion picture Robert Clary was in ironically was titled: Ten Tall Men. Obviously, Clary was not one of the ten.
Fun Fact 2: Clary was in an episode of The Munsters Today which was a late 80's remake of the 60's series The Munsters. The episode is titled: Green Eyed Munsters.
Fun Fact 3: Clary was in the 1975 motion picture: The Hindenburg.
Fun Fact 4: Clary was in the 3rd every episode of Fantasy Island in 1978. Ironically the episode is titled: Escape/Cinderella Girls. Ironically in that episode a magician (not Clary's character) wanted to escape from a notorious prison on a nearby island.
So why was Clary not in this episode? I’m on needles and pins!
In the modern era a character not being in a show for an episode means the actor is directing the episode. 🎥🎬🧑🏻🎤📺
Bob crane was murdered.i think .
he was.
but by whom?
Yes he was, brutally bludgeoned to death in fact. There was a suspect (now deceased himself) but there was no solid evidence to tie him to the crime. To this day it's classified as a cold case.
I just watched this episode last week very cool
The LeBeau (meaning "The Good") line/sneer "... Hot dogs! Beeah!" in reference to "American Cuisine," may be my favorite line from the series.
One of the German guards also appears in several episodes of Star Trek.
Loved LeBeau, who else would have baked treats
to bribe Schultz
The character of Sgt O'Neil stood in for characters seceral times. Anytime one was absent
Great video! Thanks
"I hear nothing, i see nothing but i can smell those delicious chocolates " SGT Schultz
I liked Robert Clay`s appearance on Fantasy Island playing a prisoner of war
I was in the military in 1965 & felt that since it was only 20 years after WWII, a show tha, that depicted a
humorous version of life in a German POW camp, would receive massive resistance from former POW's!
I was wrong & "Hogan's Heroes" became one of the many great "sit-coms", that started in the mid-1960's!
p.s. Unlike a show like "Gilligan's Island", i.e. restricted cast, "Hogan Heroes" had 100's of POW's, to replace LeBeau!
did you notice that the German soldier who was talking to Klink had a Thomson machine gun?
I got a hoot out of how Hogan (Bob Crane), Klink (Werner Klemperer), Schultz (John Banner) and General Burkhalter (Leon Askin) all were in the movie The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz.
It was shot at the same time that Hogan's Heroes was in 1968. However, none of the actors were playing the same roles, which did make it odd seeing them all together.
Didn't notice? We're not as unobservant or limited as the person who put this together.
In the pilot there was another prisoner named "Olsen" played by Stewart Moss, and on at least one occasion when one of Hogan's regular crew had the week off (I think it was Newkirk), Olsen "filled in" for him in that episode.
Ivan Dixon (kinchlo) left the heros in order to direct. He was replaced by sgt baker, no reason given in the show, if kinch escaped there would be a stronger guard force in the camp and if he was killed it wouldn't be a comedy so...old heroes just fade away.
Interesting I have seen this episode numerous times and never noticed he wasn’t in it.
I'd like to see Bob Crane's home movie that got him killed.....
Rewriting the script would have taken too much time for their production schedule.
I loved this show ........still record and watch to this day
Not a fan of LeBeau? It seems that Robert Clary had the last laugh, he outlived them all!
He really did
THAT'S why Eddie Firestone's character always addressed Hogan with "oui mon Currlenell!" 😊
Larry hovis (carter) later became a regular on a 70s TV game show call "the liars club".
I’m more alarmed at 4:13 that the German soldier is carrying a M-1928 A/C Thompson with a vertical fore-grip and the Cutts Compensator removed, rather than an MP-40 Schmeisser!
Never watched the show Rick thanks for the information and sharing great video buddy
I thought you were going to talk about Ivan Dixon who played Sgt Kinchloe. He just disappeared.❤
There was an episode where an actress called Kinchloe Ivan. His role name was John 😂
I always thought his role name was "Ivan Kinchloe"(probably from the Paris episode). IMDB says he was James too.
@@onestoptechnologies7305 if you watched ALL the shows you'll see he was Sgt John Kinchloe
@@mikefagan6840 L0L... I own ALL 168 episodes and watch them everyday. I was just trying to be polite.
"Kinch"(Staff Sergeant James "Kinch" Kinchloe) is second in command to "Full" Colonel Robert E Hogan.
In the episode, Is General Hammerschlag Burning?(S03E11) @ 9:33, Kumasa/Carol Dukes, from high school in Detroit, calls him "Ivan Kinchloe."
In the episode, Request Permission to Escape(S01E32) @ 5:34, Kinchloe himself reads from his draft notification card, "Mister JAMES Kinchloe."
In the episode, Hogan's Hofbrau(S01E13) @ 2:01, Col Hogan compliments Kinch, "That's why he's a staff sergeant."
@@onestoptechnologies7305 i couldnt remember exactly but i knew his role name began with J. When i heard her say ivan i rewinded to make sure. 🤣. Back in the day when you couldnt do all this modern tech stuff it just went by mostly unnoticed.
Watching stuff over and over again you catch the errors.
The TV show EMERGENCY is loaded with them but as a kid i never knew. 😉👍👍👍👍
@@mikefagan6840 Right! 👍Back in the day, you wouldn't see that rerun episode for a year, so no one would remember and notice! Now we can watch them over and over...
EMERGENCY... I haven't watched that in years... I mean... decades!
It always reminded me of my cousins who were paramedics. 😄
I noticed that the German soldiers were carrying American Tommy guns.
I thought it was interesting that the German guards often carried American weapons. Thompson sub machine guns and Krag rifles.
It’s what was easily available at the time in LA. The German guns would have been nearly impossible to source
I watch HH’s every night on MeTV. Never noticed LeBeau was missing. If other characters were missing from other episodes, I wouldn’t notice either. I would just assume they had no lines. Lots of good episodes that it would be hard to pick a fave. Thanks Rick. Good stuff.
I saw the episode but I didn't notice LeBows absence.
There was a guy at work whom.had been in Germany with the US Army. He said the Germans hated that program or at least his German girl friend did.
Interesting, especially the Flintstones reference! I didn't notice LaBeau was missing. I wasn't as into HH as I was, say Gilligan's Island. The guy at 2:40 looks like Lawrence Montaigne....who was in the Amok Time episode of Star Trek.
Richard Dawson wasn’t in an episode.
Well, most of us was watching on a black and white 11 inch set, that wasn't exactly tooned in all that great and we were warned to keep our distance to avoid radiation...
I should start watching HH again. I was a kid during it's initial run and I've always loved the show. I'm not sure if it's ever been explained, but my theory for Kinchloe been replaced is he was transferred to another camp by the Germans and replaced by Baker. Then Kinch escaped from the other camp and went home. That way, the writers of the show could maintain Klink's perfect record of no successful escapes from Stalag 13.
I use to watch this show religiously with my family and remember this episode, no I didn’t notice the missing actor but sometimes when a tv show seems a little different it’s usually because the focus/content doesn’t evolve around everyone anyway
I remember the episode well and was amazed I didn't realize he was gone. The one question I have is how Sargent Kinchloe was replaced?
Robert Clary was the last of the cast to pass away in November, 2022. He was selling his book right up to the end.
At 4:14 it appears that the German soldier is carrying an older model US Thompson submachine gun.
There was a tv movie/comedy at the time of the heros set in ww2 Italy called "campo 44".
This was a great episode. Eddie Firestone was on I Dream of Jeannie in the episode when Jeannie blinks Master back to the old west.
Something most don't know, Robert Clary spent many years as a prisoner in the German Concentration Camps and had a real number tattooed on his arm, this was one of the reasons he almost always had sleeves, when the other actors saw the tattoo and didn't know they thought he had gotten it because of his part in the show and only then did he tell the other actors about spending his teen years in the Camps!
I really love Hogans Heroes video.
La Beau was in town at the Café Suzette. He was helping Sedgewick get out of the line of fire.
There were certain episodes when one of the Heroes didn't appear. Example War takes a Holiday. No Carter.
Next you can explain why a German guard was armed with an American Thompson Sub-Machine-gun? There always seemed to be enough German MP-40’s to go around.
Weird, I watched the Flinstones as a kid, and I don't recognize his face!!
