My favorite TV series is a child and I consider it the greatest TV show ever made. Vic Morrow was the greatest physical actor in history. I've never seen an actor go through what he goes through on every episode crawling in mud crossing rivers explosions going off all around, ru ning, clinbing hills. Diving into ditches, soot falling on him, running, jumping getting snagged o. Wire. Lumber falling on him. It used to make me laugh out loud when Garry Shandling said he was burned-out from the Larry Sanders Show when he was on screen 7 minutes and episode in a suit sitting in a chair.... he couldn't do 10 minutes of what Vic Morrow did in one episode. The show was great, the episodes were great, the acting was superb... despite all my love for the show, I do have three complaints which I had all the way back to my childhood. I cannot understand why they did not have subtitles when the Germans were talking. The viewer needed to know what they were saying. it's maddening to hear them speaking German and you're sitting there Clueless. also they played way way way way too much music during the episodes... there's barely 10 seconds at any point where there's not blaring mood music. sometimes you just like to have the normal sounds that people would hear instead of loud mood music every second and third I cant understand why they did not always have the same Squad together; Kirby, Littlejohn, Cage and Saunders...many episodes will have little John missing two episodes in a row or cage is missing or Kirby's missing for two episodes I still can't comprehend why they didn't have everybody's favorite unit together all the time
