When I was in the eighth grade ('64-'65 ) Combat was the 1st topic discussed in my science class. Our teacher, Stowe Harbin, understood Germanicon and always filled us in on what the enemy had said in the previous nights' episode. That was when there weren't 200+ channels and everyone watched the same thing. Boy we've sure come a long way since then.
I recently purchased the series collection and now have something to do when my wife runs me out of the living room!
