TV Pilot

Someone ought to make a FEMA camp comedy along the lines of "Hogan's Heroes."

I dunno, David. I never thought "Hogan's Heroes" was all that great. But then I'm not much of a sitcom watcher as a rule. My Father-in-law was not a fan of it, either. But then he actually spent time on one of those places - at loeast when he wasn't taking a stroll (OK, more of a forced march) around the Polish country side in that charming, scandalously under reported German Death March.

But, ya know? A sitcom like that could prove to be really useful as a propaganda tool to get people to support the camps. But then the Feds would have to admit the existence of the camps. Anybody taking bets on THAT happening?

My brother-in-law's father was a bomber crewman who ended up spending some significant time as an involuntary guest of the Germans in a Stalag Luft. He did not see ANY humor at all in that television show. He was somewhat insulted by the whole premise of the show. The only bright side that he saw in his experience is that he survived the parachute jump when his plane was shot down, survived his capture intact, and did not starve to the point of death or die from disease before liberation.
