I saw this series in syndication. It ran before I was born.I loved the stories and the characters. It was truly the "Happy" show about WWII.I've heard it's been edited, but if you've only seen it in syndication you'd never know it. And in syndication the shows may be cut to add more commercials as well.The commentary's and bloopers are wonderful as well you learn so much about the show from watching those as well (The Bloopers that Tom Lowell tells are a riot)I only wish that they could find the"Missing Christmas episode" at ABC and release that as well.Jo Davidmeyers has a wonderful website dedicated to Combat Check it out!
