It's been a long time since we saw "Hogan's Heroes" on the tube.
But thanks to TV Land -- in an apparent fit of sanity or at least a nod to its Classic TV roots -- is bringing back the WW II POW comedy with a July 6th marathon from 6 a.m.-9 p.m.
"HH" was incredibly politically incorrect even in its day (1965-71) , so we're wondering what it must seem like today.
Here's a rarity: the cast of "Hogan's Heroes" in a commercial for Jell-O (served at the finest POW camps in the world, no doubt).

I guess Carol Channing was a spokesperson for Jell-O at the time? Because I can't think of a reason why they'd drag her into the spot and ruin what little credibility the scene may have had.
At the very least there should have been a payoff where Klink and Schultz discover Channing in the barracks......
