Hogan's Heroes - 'The Complete Series' is Getting a DVD Re-Release Soon!

Hilarity finds a home in the most unlikely of places - a World War II German POW camp - in this 1960s comedy series. Bob Crane stars as Col. Robert Hogan, an irascible wise guy who leads his fellow prisoners in a variety of mad escape plots. The butts of the jokes are the starched-stiff Germans, particularly Col. Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer), whose exasperated cry of "Hogan!" became one of the show's many repeatable catchphrases.
In late 2009, CBS/Paramount released the 28-DVD gift set, Hogan's Heroes - Kommandant's Kollection: The Komplete Series, with all six seasons of the classic comedic show. That item's still available to find here and there, but has been officially discontinued from the studio for a while. Now, though, CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution is bringing it back!

On March 8th the studio will re-release this item in new, shelf-friendly packaging as Hogan's Heroes - The Complete Series. We don't have confirmation of the disc count, but i's expected to come with 27 DVDs this time. List price is a hundred dollars cheaper, though, with a very nice cost of $79.99 SRP (and that's before retailer discounts!) for the new set. Other details aren't available yet, but here's the new package art, and an odvdo.com pre-order button link (which we note is showing an incorrect date as of this writing, but we're sure they'll correct it fairly quickly):
