I used to watch this show, with my dad, when it originally aired. You're so right. My dad was also part of the greatest generation.....he fought in WWII

@@RC-sz4ub .

Definitely

i'm 67 too and watched these when I was a kid. I'm with you I didn't appreciate the story line and depth of feeling the writers had. I bet the majority of writers for the show were ww2 veterans.

Yep I watched it as a kid too. My father and many of my friends fathers were in WW2.

Same here. Just a little younger than you.

Me too, I am 67

67 also and really appreciate what the actors went through. None of the actors of today did what these people did to prepare themselves for their roles 👍

My favorite show it went off in 1967

I was 21 in 1974 and I grew up watching Combat. Now I am 71, all of the actors on Combat but 1, are dead! And I am still here in this F'kd up world; And I asked myself WHY? All the good times are over.😢

I want to thank you for your service. It is inexcusable how Vietnam Vets were treated upon their return. You deserved so much better.

If you have not seen it, watch the 1969 film 'Battle of Britain' with an all British cast, and authentic WWII airplanes were flown in the film with real pilots. No special effects or CGI (which was not created yet in 1969) at all. I saw it in the theater when first released when I was 13. It is uploaded on KZfaq. And many thanks for your service in the military.

That's nothing I am 88 and still watching Combat.

I watch it to; But I am 71, and NOT going to make it to 79; The good times are long gone.😥

To bad we cant find any good actors now like when back in 60's were they really look and act the part.

They we're all good, including the guest actors! You can learn a lot from these shows!

Captain Christopher Pike. Indeed.

He also played Jesus but I can’t remember the movie’s name …

@@manuelbermudez211 _King of Kings_

@@bad-people6510 thanks 🙏 for answering my post

His best role playing Jesus Christ in King of Kings

keep it up

Black and White always matters. It’s a wonderful way to capture character and scenery; shape and form; along with the commonplace contrast within a dramatic setting.

What I don't understand is why Sanders wearing a camouflage helmet when those intended for Pacific not in Europe?

@@namedsofie_ just research and learn.🇺🇸

I remember Combat being on Tuesday too.

My brother an I played combat when we're kids. My mother use to say better fill in those holes before your father gets home. An if they get any deeper you.ll end up in chinà. I did in 2017 . That's another story. I.ll post later on,

In 2017 I went to china. I'll post it later on.

A perfect description

Great. Happy for you.

Combat was the sh*t, didn't miss a week. Was a big part of my teen years. The cast was cool and had good people acting the parts each week is a great show.

@@johnsimpson7404 soo... how’d you turn out? With the D student stuff?..... what did you do?

2021 still watching, Sir? me too

You waited this long, don’t screw up & get in trouble again, haha. Love this, my new Favorite Show

Vic Morrows best as Sgt Saunders he was great in TWLIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE WHERE HE WAS KILLED IN HELICOPTER ACCIDENT saving 2 child actors lives R I P VIC MORROW

I'm 60 and have binge watched this series twice in the last 6 years, and I am going to do the same now. It makes me better appreciate what our soldiers did for and sacrifice for us. God bless America!!

I'm 18 and I just started this series and I'm loving it

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your brave Father. I hope the passage of the years has lessened your sorrow

OMG 39! God bless.

I am shocked and surprised that your. father died at age 39.!

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, my condolences. As for the authenticity, it may well have been the most accurate thing on TV in the early 1960s but I expect that was a pretty low bar. One of my friends recently retired from the Canadian Armed Forces after a long career there and he told me that one of their activities when back at base and relaxing was to watch war movies and TV series about war and see how they present it. The vast majority of the time, they found huge errors and were rolling their eyes at how INACCURATE they were. One of the rare exceptions was Band of Brothers, which I loaned him. He rated the authenticity on that very high. (I don't think I ever asked him about Combat!) While most shows have technical advisers, directors frequently disregard what they have to say in the interests of the story. If the way something is really done is slow and involves lots of people, it's probably going to be very time-consuming and expensive to film so the director will devise a shortcut that lets one or two cast members do some alternative thing very quickly that appears to accomplish the same effect. It's not that they want to be deceptive, it's just that they've got to contain costs to stay within a budget and if that means sacrificing some accuracy, they usually will.

God bless your father, Steve.

Best Jesus ever! ❤️

i loved rat patrol

Combat! was a bit after my time but I discovered it during the 90s. Was one of my favorite TV shows as a young teenager.

I did. I was a kid in the 1960’s, before the feminists tried to turn boys more into girls.

Garrisons gorillas .and 12 o clock high as well

So true. They were my two favorite shows as a little boy. For Christmas all I wanted was helmets, toy rifles and anything to do with soldiers!! Great memories!!

Especially after playing Jesus! Lol

Me too.

same here

Me too

I'm 62 and I can't remember much Vic the Sarg is about it

Ditto

I wondered if anyone else would remeber Rat Patrol, thanks ,these two shows were my daddys favorites.And we watched sitting around the small t.v.

Your English is excellent. No worries!

Your English was just fine my dear. We all share your sentiments.

Man! These sure bring back memories. I was nine when this episode came out, thank you!

Yes a. Brilliant episode with fantastic acting and writing. Scene between Hunter and Morrow about living with killing, takes you there.

Not exactly. Storyline is he was still a 6th yr. seminarian. 1917 Our Lady Of Fatima warned "...when you see a strange light illumine the sky, know that a second worse war will come..." My father -dad- saw that Jan25 1938. I recorded his talk before he RIP. Much of the press reported on this at the time including N.Y T. Today 'lost sheep sheperds' are wrecking the church and society with it, far more than any typical physical war. Similiarly, "What's their problem'? Them. They don't think they're good enough, so they hate, hate their Mother. Mea culpa with meaning - can be the most difficult words to say- confess. For many of us...

I wasen't even born in that time lol

What about "Sgt. Rutledge" with Woody Strode?

Lowell Goodyear I did not see "Sgt.Rutledge"at the theater in 1960,John Wayne's,THE ALAMO,I saw.

+Alfred G. Laverty Don't forget Star Trek as Christopher Pike in the pilot.

+Claude “Reviews4U” Rains Yes! I did see him in The Menagerie"with Susan Oliver!Our you related to the late actor I saw in Lawrence of Arabia?

I am not at all related to the late actor,Claude Rains,I also saw in Lawrence of Arabia.Laverty Family from Lisburn,Northern Ireland,December 9,1790.

Sorry, but he overdid it a bit.

Wearing your officer rank on your helmet is a good idea

My thoughts exactly !

Donald Sutherland was great, in "Kelly's Heroes"!

That is sad. I never knew about the suicide.

Jeffrey died of head injuries in an accident

Back when TV was the best!

great show you to watch when I was kid, brings back a lot of memories

Lol

Nice catch. General McNair decided that the US only needed medium tanks, and not heavy tanks in Europe. He thought that SP AT weapons were enough. He was killed, but the damage he caused lasted through the war.

M RC /

@@karlsummers8010 Yeah, at first I thought it was a Panzer 4 with U.S. markings and some bondo. Lol.

Most of combat German armored and vehicles where U.S. I like when they made M41 look like Panzer 4's. With the Side skirts. Lol!

There must have been Shermans that they could have acquired for the show in the mid 60s. Big fan of the show but not a big fan of such inauthenticity.....

That so funny dying must be fun dramatic you know. Gotta die good by the cross. He was so beautiful, Jeffrey Hunter.

Shure, this was supposed to be an Action Show as called nowdays. Had an influence on a lot of those Computer games - at least I have déjà vus watching this.

Many of the writers and actors were WW2 vets.

It bothers me the actors rarely aim their weapons. They are always firing from the hip, which any veteran will tell you is a recipe for never hitting anything.

Robert Pirosh created the show, he saw action in WW II in Europe

I love watching war movies very real n fascinating at tlme where there is no technolgy real hard work

And before the war French tanks also the Korean war Walker Bull Dog tank but still cool

He was a great actor I was sorry 2 hear that he killed him self r.i.p.rick

I was not aware of Rick Jason being bilingual but I did know Pierre Jalbert spoke French fluently because he was a Cajun.

The Director of this ep. Butt Kennedy went on to direct some pretty good movies🙂

"I really wish they'd put subtitles for the languages other than english." Except that that would kill the experience. It's supposed to be strange, foreign, and jarring. You want to feel like you're at home.

Just for the record, he never said that, it wouldn't have passed the censorship of the time.

So many actors die after the stunts people screw up the special effects.

A lot of times they were sitting ducks and could do nothing about it.
