- Quotes
Sgt. Andrew Carter: Let's get out of here!
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Let's get our prisoner first.
Sgt. Andrew Carter: We haven't got time... Our what? We can't keep a prisoner!
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Well, we've got our own prison. What better place to keep him.
Sgt. Andrew Carter: But we're prisoners!
Col. Robert E. Hogan: So what? Just because we're prisoners doesn't mean we can't have our own prisoners.
Sgt. Andrew Carter: It's impossible.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: There's a rule or something? The Geneva Convention - not a word. We got our rights; we're as good as they are. Look, if the Germans can have an American prisoner, why can't the Americans have a German prisoner. If we're wrong, what are they going to do? Lock us up?
- Crazy creditsGeneral Schmidt's girlfriend is credited as 'Fraulein'; no name given, either in the credits or in the show itself.
The rest of the episode is a bunch of silly pranks to get the General to confess the whereabouts of his unit. One even involves a Christmas tree and Santa that was utterly ridiculous.
Roger C Carmel played General Schmidt and actually did a fine job. The problem was with the script that seemed written for children rather than adults. The concept was fine but the execution was poor. Not one of the better shows.
