Agree 100%. This was a mini series, not a TV show.

Gotta go with Combat....
My favorite is Band of Brothers, but I also like just about every other one up there, especially Blacksheep Squadron, MASH and Tour of Duty.

Dan'll have my ass over this one, but Blacksheep Squadron. Like Thor, the episodes my dad had taped helped get me into WWII (as well as models), but it really got me hooked on the Corsair. BoB is also great, but I had to go with the Blacksheep.

I still hear that air raid siren in the opening credits...

I also voted for Baa Baa Blacksheep.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baa_Baa_Black_Sheep_(TV_series)
Growing up, this show brought to me what my Grandfather was... I loved this show and it changed my life...
Presently, my favorite is Band of Brothers... Unreal show, the best of them all....

If I remember right Les, didn't your grandfather fly with the Black Sheep?

There was a show called "Battle Line" that was black and white and featured archived combat footages and a vet from either sides of whatever battle they were talking about- if that's the one you are thinking of- the opening credits have two guys facing off with bayonets- I watched that all the time as a kid too.
I still can't get the opening music from Danger UXB out of my head either- my favorite show dealing with the Blitz. (Also the first nudity I ever saw on PBS when I was a kid!)
Sadly enough I got Black Sheep Squadron from Netflx as I too loved it as a kid. I wish I had stuck with those memories- I could only hang with a episode and a half before I sent it back- even just watching the planes...Sometimes it's good not to revisit those memories...

Although it was also a mini series the Brit show called a Piece of Cake rates right up there with a Band of Brothers

Cota, do you know if "Danger:UXB" is on DVD?

I stuck to the Tv shows, and there were so many good ones, I made it a multiple choice...that way you could put a couple in there if ya' had indecision!
I know Band of Brothers was a good show, but it was produced as a mini-series, and I didn't include that or a number of other mini-series because that topic in itself would be a good poll to be discussed!
Sorry Imalko, I never heard of Allo Allo, but I have seen the Fowler's War series, produced by the BBC...and it has some great authentic stuff in it (aircraft, vehicles, uniforms, etc).

I'm surprised. It is very famous (at least in Europe) and long lasting British sitcom WW2 parody.

Yes it is- It's out of print but you can find it on Amazon for about 25 bucks- also Netflix has it.

No single favourite, but loved 'Allo 'allo, Dad's army, Hogan's heroes, M.A.S.H, It ain't half hot mum, and Tour of duty... Only saw a half-episode once of Band of brothers, and about 5 minutes of Piece of cake, but they looked good too.
