When did you first watch COMBAT?: Don't remember exactly.The 1st or 2nd saeson I think.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: Good old fashioned Tv show that you don't find today. Superb drama,excellent acting and directing.My all time favorite TV show.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: Lots of memories. I lived for Tuesday nights.My brothers,next door neighbors who were our age would play combat in the woods near our house. We would argue over who was gonna play which character. I always wanted to play Kirby or Caje. Although I enjoyed every episode I watched some of my favorites were "The Little Carosel" "The Leader" "Mail Call" and the two part "The Long Way Home"

When did you first watch COMBAT?: When it first aired on ABC in 1962.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: That's difficult to say, since I watched it for different reasons then as now. Then I watched because my Dad watched; he was a WWII veteran, and enjoyed seeing how Hollywood presented the war as opposed to what it was really like. He always said COMBAT! came very close to reality. Nowadays, I can see that COMBAT! was well-written, directed, acted and presented. It was a quality show that far surpasses many of the TV shows we have today. There was no topic too "dangerous" for them to tackle, none of the "political correctness" that permeates this modern era. It's gritty and real, poignant and strangely contemporary despite its age.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: I think my fondest COMBAT! memory is of THE LITTLE CAROUSEL. My cousin (who was more like my sister) and I fell in love with that episode. We were around the same age as Claudine, and I think we cried for hours after watching the show. Then, for weeks, we pretended we were young nurses during WWII. It was, I believe, a turning point in my life. I began to think of self-sacrifice and service to others. It wasn't long after that I lost my father, and I remember thinking of how Sarge screamed in agony when Claudine died. I didn't scream out loud, but inside, I knew exactly what he felt. Yes, that has to be one of my strongest COMBAT! memories. It's stayed with me for over 40 years now, and is still as vivid today as it was that Tuesday night...
Comments about the web site or other comments: I've only discovered this website, and have no idea whether or not people still come here and post. I would love to correspond with others who have found COMBAT! or remember it from their youth. I'm an aspiring writer, and have found a few sites with "fan-fiction" stories based on COMBAT! If there are others out there you know of, please let me know. Also, I know of one site online where you can watch a few episodes of COMBAT! If anyone knows of other places online, please let me know. I can't afford the 40 DVD disk set, much as I'd love to have it.

When did you first watch COMBAT?: When it originally aired.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: Because sixties television was a magical time for a young boy. I mean who cared that programs were produced in black and white. I wanted to experience what daring mission Sgt. Chip Saunders, Lt. Gil Hanley, Cage, Kirby, Littlejohn and Doc would embark upon.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: Strangely enough living on the east coast, the Earnest and Julio Gallo commerical which seemed to proceed the broadcast. Anyone remember them? About ten years ago I viewed reruns on the Encore Action channel. One particular episode was titled: "The Heritage" with Charles Bronson as a guest star. From the opening sequence he seemed to command a presence dressed in character.
Comments about the web site or other comments: It seemed like a less complicated period. Fond memories of a simpler time.

When did you first watch COMBAT?: I was about age 7 or 8 when I first watched Combat! and loved it, along with my whole family, but now I am re-visiting Combat! and I love it even more now!
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: I like the stories & "lessons" learned from each episode and I think Lt. Hanley aka Rick Jason and all the guys are very handsome! I also have fun looking for the bloopers that Jo Davidmeyer writes about!
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: I remember as a kid after watching an episode the next day my brothers & I would go out to play & "re-enact" Combat!
Comments about the web site or other comments: Just a correction to Jo Davidmeyers Combat Bloopers in The Imposter, when she says that Hanley tells "Peabody to take the point", is not completely correct, he actually says "Caje take the point & Peabody (instead of Little John)take the rear!" not the point, but he still calls him by his real name instead of his Character name, and no one seems to notice, as they did not call cut or anything! I've watched it several times now to be sure!

Please shoot me an email at the above or write[and send] to SPC Pete Schissel P.O.Box 337 Jolon,CA 93928 The US PO is here on base so you don't have to write out "Hunter-Liggett" On my honor, I will send your videos back when I'm done with my duty here in Dec. It would be great morale booster to the many troops that come and pass thru here for training. More about me,you can look up my web- www.peterschissel.com When I was stationed at another base.

When did you first watch COMBAT?: Right now! On DVD. I was way too young when the show was originally on,and I don't remember watching it in syndication, so I'm trying to catch up!
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: All the stories are great! Some are suspensful, action packed, heart-wrenching and just plain damn good acting from the whole cast and the direction...WOW! Plus, I have an interest in WW2 as my late father was a vet of WW2.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: I never realized how good of an actor Vic Morrow was until I saw the episode with him getting his hands burned severely,and the tramatic consequences. Can't remeber the name of the episode at the moment! But, that was one hell of a gut-wrenching acting job!
Comments about the web site or other comments: Rick Jason reminds me alot of Robert Taylor in looks, man- nerisms, voice, acting style, etc. Makes me think MGM/ABC had Taylor in mind for the role but was too old for it. Watch Taylor in "Bataan" then watch Jason in "Combat". Very, very similar!

When did you first watch COMBAT?: When it aired for the first time in the early 1960's.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: The historical perspective (from a kid's point of view)and the different personalities of each member of the squad; Saunders, the moody sgt. who always looked out for his men, Hanley, the always more than competent LT, Cage, the ever efficient soldier with good looks, Little John, always a kid at heart, Kirby, the partying, chronic complainer and both Doc's.....the first one baby-faced, the second one, sort of a 'good 'ol boy' who was smarter than he wanted the people around him to believe. What a great cast!
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: Tuesday nights.....when primetime started at 7:30PM in the Midwest (Ohio). I couldn't wait for "Combat!." Than at 10PM, "The Futgitive" came on. What a night for TV! One of my most vivid memories is whenever Sgt. Saunders gritted his teeth and screamed, "Just shut up, Kirby!" I used to try and imitate Vic Morrow's walk when I was a kid.
Comments about the web site or other comments: I read Dick Peabody's articles about Combat! and hope I can find more. That's another thing......Little John always seemed like just a big kid to me. Then to read the actor's comments who played him is very special. Little John may have been a big kid, but Dick Peabody is intelligent, articulate and not afraid to say what he thinks. I love it!

When did you first watch COMBAT?: I started watching this show when it originally aired in the 60's.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: Originally, it was for the action; I was only 6 or 7 at the time Combat! originally aired and being the tom-boy that I was (still am!), I just seemed to gravitate towards the show. As an adult, I finally saw the program in syndication in the 70's and, thankfully, got an entirely new perspective on it from the one I had as a child. The episodes were so well written, and I have to agree with some of the comments I've seen on a few of the posts here, that they rival much of what I've seen on TV today. The action was good, but it was the characters, and all the differences between them that, ultimately, drew them together as a 'family' of sorts. I love the fact that the veiwer is reminded, in many episodes, that no soldier wants to go to war, but there's a job to do, and, like it not, a reason to be there that's bigger than the individual caught up in the fight( that element was stated very well in the episode, 'Bridgehead'). Likewise, the situations in the episodes so often drew out a visceral emotion of such intensity (sometimes loudly, often times quietly),that it's difficult to find it these days in most of what is on TV. A good portion of that is attributed to the cast, who, in my opinion was so well put together that it would be impossible to recreate. If I could only use one word to describe what it is I continue to fins so compelling about this particular series it was have to be it's humanity.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: The neighborhood I lived in ( my dad was Navy pilot stationed in Olathe, Kansas)at the time Combat! was originally aired was full of military people, my dad included, and a bunch of us kids were always outside playing 'war'; winter time was really fun, as snow forts became outposts and snowball became grenades! Combat! was naturally one of our favorite shows and for me, it was tops. At that time, I suppose it was the action that drew me to the series, tom-boy that I was, I couldn't help but get caught up in watching the show. Birthday's and Christmas found me begging my parents for gifts of toy guns ( that Thompson I finally got was a real prize, one that I wish I still had, if only for the sake of nostalgia!), grenades, and mess kits ( and boy howdy, I cannot recall how many meals I ate out of THAT thing!) When my god-brother's next door each got toy bazooka's, I was incredibly jealous, but not for long...I had that Thompson!!!! And it made such a noise!!!
Comments about the web site or other comments: I still watch the show, but mostly on DVD's now. Among my favorite episodes are: Far From The Brave, Hills Are For Heroes, Bridgehead, Masquerade, High Named Today, Glow Against the Sky, The Celebrity, What Are The Bugles Calling For?, Mail Call, Losers Cry Deal, and, oh, so many more. Too many to list. I didn't know, until recently, that there was so much fanfiction posted for this series. I've had a lot of enjoyment reading some of it as many of the stories strive to maintain the integrity of the characters, as well as to explore some territories we did not see in the show (ie: what happened after the guys went home?). Some of the 'missing moments' are quite interesting as well. Having done a bit of fan fiction over the years, I am now interested in trying my hand at a Combat! peice. I've got my e-mail posted, so if anyone would like to chat about Combat! with me, I'll be glad to do so...just give me a moment to grab a cup of joe, will ya?!

Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: My father and uncle were veterans of WWII and through them I felt as though I was a part of a magnificent patriotic effort. Less than 20 years had passed and the war was still a major topic of movies and literature and as conversation with my father. I recall that as a nine year old I had a prized toy Mattel M1 Thompson submachine gun, just like Sergeant Saunders. You'd cock the bolt back and it'd rattle off a burst of pretend .45 cal bullets. I'd dress up in my dad's old Eisenhauer jacket and act out scenes with my friends. Combat was our inspiration. The show was very realistic and Jason and Morrow were our heroes. I'm now watching the series on DVD and I find the show as realistic and relevent as it was then.

When did you first watch COMBAT?: As a kid 1963 or 1964
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: I liked to play war as a kid and Combat! was my favorite show.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: In 1991 I moved to Nevada and became friends with Bill Byrns a retired Army officer and Combats advisor from the second season. I was very glad whwn the Combat convention was in Las Vegas and arranged for Bill to be at the convention. It saddened him greatly at the tragic loss of Rick Jason a few days after the convention. Bill had a million stories about being on the set and all were gems. It is sad to report Col. Byrns passed away 8 months. A letter he recieved from General Bradley shortly before he die simply said "You are a great solider, Thank You."

Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: great stories that made great actors,great background music that intesified the action and heightened the anxiety of the situation , similar to the Twilight Zone. also saw many actors getting their start in the film and tv industry on the show ( ted knight of "caddyshack" fame starring as a german soldier!!! ). the black and white film also adds to dreariness of war.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: watching Combat saturday afternoons on channel 5 as a kid and then going out afterwords and playing army with the other kids in the neighborhood ( making a German Mp-40 submachine out of wood and using small bowling pins from an old game as hand grenades!!! ). thats when kids went outside to play!!!

When did you first watch COMBAT?: When it was on Tuesday nights (I think) back in the '60's when I was just a kid.
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: Because the stories are about people, not just winning or loosing. The drama behind the story lines was so deep that most shows of today can't even hold a candle to it.
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: My favorite episode is "The Machine" (I think). The one where Vic Morrow convinces Frank Gorshin to overcome his fears of claustrophobia and drive an enemy tank.

Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: I love the theme song and the characters. The good guys always win and the new guys usually get killed.The krauts are terrible shots and always seem to run right into the open to get killed. The endless supply of bullets, especially Kiby's BAR. King Co has the best shooters. They can always hit targets while running and shooting at the same time while almost never getting hit. Now that I am older and watching it again I love seeing the same scenery over and over but from different angles. I want to go to Franklin Canyon and crawl through that concrete irrigation ditch!
Share any COMBAT memories you might have.: I remember eating popcorn and watching on TV and then playing Combat with my friends.

When did you first watch COMBAT?: 1985-86 on KDOC-TV channel 56 in California. First episode I saw was were Brandon De Wilde's character is stuck in a bog with the field radio. Lt. Hanley was trying to coerce him to hand over the radio. Riveting episode - I was hooked!
Why do you enjoy COMBAT?: The acting, writing and set design were outstanding. Stories were more real
