I remember this show fondly as a child in the 60s..I would hate to see it today, with different eyes and mindset. i'm sure it was very hokey to say the least..same as watching "scary" movies involving vincent price or christopher lee...they make me cringe today, can't even watch them..Rat ptrol was exciting for a kid, def no "Combat", but great war/adventure series..UKReb - my dad was a WW2 Marine Corps veteran and hated "Gomer Pyle USMC", blasted it every time it came on tv..we were not allowed to watch it..on the other hand, he loved Godzilla movies...
