The Hogans Heroes water episode really ranks as one of the best episodes in television history. First of all the show is about their underground tunnel getting some plumbing leak filling up their tunnels and they are unable to get some underground partisans out of camp. It is absolutely absurd and this is really a well written episode. They manipulate Colonbel Klink into thinking it is some natural spring as to avoid any digging to fix the problem as he notices the leak fro water just gushing out in the middle of the prison camp. They somehow manage to construct a bathhouse from scratch like in one day and invite several generals including the great character general Burkaharder (si) . He nearly gets cut from the big scissors used to cut a ribbon dedicating this new stalag 13 bathhouse as they use his appearance to get the resistance fighters out of the camp. Klink andf the general get several hot towels thrown in their face and get their face stuffed with sandwhiches as they stall them to get their uniforms for the escape. After having watched the six seasons of Hogans Heroes for like hundreds of times this episode always stands out and never gets tiring to watch over and over again. Of all the episodes from this series this one alone pretty much can define what type of absurd yet addicting program this could be in the sxties and seventies era. Hogans Heroes is one of the few older programs worth watching.
