Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA reference is made to a radio show called "Mary Noble, Backstage Wife". It was a soap opera that aired from 1935 to 1959, about a small-town girl who went to New York, and married a handsome star of the stage who was constantly being pursued by other women.
- GoofsAt 9.30 secs, Kinchloe calls the submarine incorrectly. He calls "Papa Bear calling Goldilocks" instead of "Goldilocks calling Papa Bear"
- Quotes
Col. Wilhelm Klink: [there's a knock at his office door] Come in.
[Colonel Hogan enters]
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Ah, Colonel Hogan. Colonel Hogan, this is Major Kuehn. He is temporarily second... He's second in command.
Major Hans Kuehn: I am the new executive officer. And you are the famous Colonel Hogan, whose men have unable to escape in 293 attempts.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: 291. Don't give me credit for the two guards.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: We cover that.
Major Hans Kuehn: Colonel Hogan, I want to warn you. If anything should happen to Colonel Klink...
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Happen?
Major Hans Kuehn: An accident. Or a replacement in the noble course of military routine. At any rate, Colonel Hogan, if anything should happen to Colonel Klink, you will find yourself against an even more iron-willed adversary.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Impossible!
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Uh, who might that be?
Major Hans Kuehn: Myself, Colonel. I will show you the kind of men you will be dealing with. Beginning tonight, I took the liberty of doubling the guards outside the perimeter.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Now, just a minute!
Col. Robert E. Hogan: If there haven't been any escapes, why double the guards?
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Yes, why?
Major Hans Kuehn: To put an end to those attempts.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Now, see here, Major. May I remind you that *I* am the kommandant here, and as such, *I* make the decisions?
Major Hans Kuehn: Very interesting. I must remember to mention it to my dear Uncle Karl when I write him.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Uncle Karl?
Major Hans Kuehn: Yes, uh, Field Marshal Karl Von Streicher of the General Staff. His specialty is military protocol. Have you read his book on the chain of command?
Col. Wilhelm Klink: No.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: I have. Not a laugh in the book. Well, look, I've gotta be moving along. You probably want to get started on a letter to your dear Uncle Karl.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Just a minute! As I said, I make the decisions here, and I have decided to tighten security by doubling the guard around the perimeter.
Major Hans Kuehn: Very wise, Colonel. Perhaps the letter to my uncle can wait. Good day, Colonel Hogan.
It appears that the executive officer, Major Hans Kuehn (played nicely by Sandy Kenyon), is bucking to get promoted and he does not care who he steps on. His footprint is directed right at Klink as he goes around Klink to get information to General Burkhalter about a bombing that he feels is going to take place. He does not know it, but Major Hans Kuehn has just been taken to task by Hogan and all the viewer can do is enjoy the ride.
There is a lot of quick humor in this show. Just a small conversation may produce a joke without much set-up time so the viewer has to be on their toes when the wit keeps flying in those short quotes. It appears the actors are more comfortable with the characters so the show has a flow that was not seen in earlier productions. Another good show.
