The show was an unexpected smash, and Crane, as the P.O.W.s' brash, resourceful ringleader, Colonel Hogan, became one of the most familiar faces on television...

This filter is run by a miniature keyboard and works like button-tuning on radio sets; by pressing one button, instead of getting WLW or KNX, the pusher gets cello or clarinet.
