Wow! Originally saw this show when was a young lad. It was one of my favorite TV shows in the 60's. The music sounds so similar to Combat's one. Even the gunshot special effect sounds, etc. Kudos and thank you for uploading this n other episodes.
I think this is a great series. I somehow missed this when I was a kid (l was only 4 at the time), and being a one season it was not stripped into syndication. I was a big fan of the POTA series & was the kind of kid who sought out info on the stars. That was when first heard of GG cause Ron Harper was in it. The only description I ever got was "made for TV Dirty Dozen." Now 50+ years later (thanks to UA-cam) I am finally sering it. I think it is really good. I like that USA is the good guy. I like the Mission: Impossible style stories. It takes me back to the way TV used to be made, and I like that.
Someone made a Huge mistake when they cancelled this after only 1 season just when the characters were coming into their own. I watched for the handsome guys.
Years ago I asked my daughter to try to track it down on DVD but she couldn't. I loved this show, Thursday nights I think. Chief was my favourite, Brendan Boone was so handsome. 😊
Still as good now as it was then. Can watch them all, over and over again. So sad that three of the cast are now dead. You don't realise how time passes.
Yes sad casino, goniff and actor are no longer with us loved them all ,loved the series,pity a second series wasn't made. Great we can watch it on UA-cam
Fans of Combat and GG unite already! I guess the TV producers of 60's never foresaw the possibility of the internet and UA-cam, where fans the world over would have had the freedom to ever compare technicalities and analyse programs, scenes frame by frame etc. Both programs were of similar grade in great quality. Combat! was the better more realistic program with VM and having more in longevity. Funny about that, both shows having the same producer (Selmur), writers and in this episode, the merging of scenes from COMBAT! S05E01 - THE GUN 1966 and of course the inclusion of Pte. William J Kirby (Jack Hogan) as a court martialed soldier in transit was quite clever. Also, incorporating similarities from the movies - "The Dirty Dozen" was entertaining. Anyway who really cares! It was just simply entertaining TV for its time and better than most programs these days. Even Twelve O'Clock High was rated highly and provided great TV with interesting WW2 stories and plots for us all to enjoy. Once again who cares about the technical accuracy of equipment, stories and TV. For the time they were produced, they were pretty limited with sets, available film archive, material and special effects, etc. Also, thank God for the way WW2 turned out, with the Allies winning. Many of us, if not all of us would be here today to enjoy these shows if it weren't for our relatives and forefathers. ENJOY them for what they worth. Chill people... CHILL! They were great shows and it was a pity there weren't more of them. Thank you to Selmur, the writers and the actors and to those who served and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice...What a Legacy!
Spot on ! Wasn't expecting accuracy (GG) just entertainment, interesting stories & good looking guys with tight pants who look great shirtless & wet. Watching & appreciating now in Dec.2020 again.
Regarding music. During the credits....parts of the the theme reminded me of the "^6 million dollar man". During the episodes....they use a lot of the same music that was used on "Combat!" I also noticed that while the credit are running at the start of they show, they show snippets of scenes from the show like they did for "Mission Impossible".
The reason why the music is similar to Combat and G.G. Is because Leonard Rosenman did the music to both programs...he did a lot of the Themes to programs back then...the guy was a genius at it...he sometimes didn't even watch them....they would send him a script at times and he would read it and put the music to the scenes of the script !! WOW ! We TRULY TRULY had Great programs back then... compared to the garbage that's on today !!!
Quite a few of the fight scenes were from the episode of Combat entitled "The Gun." Still is enjoyable though. Even some of the music from Combat is used here.
Wade -- Richard Bakalyn(n) -- was in 2 episodes of Combat: as Sgt Piper in Gitty and Sgt Wolfson in The Prisoner; something really nice about his voice + a Saunders line: "He's just doing his job..."
some of the escape footage is reused from combat. there is an episode in which the Germans captured Saunders and he managed to escape. the episode was also in color.
Those Dog's are Badass. I have a little white Maltese that would make em chase her. That's when her big sister gets involved. 55 lb Australian Shepherd. Knocks me over at 220 and she doesn't play with others.
So many scenes in this episode were lifted directly from 3 different episodes of Combat! that it is surely plagiarism! The funny part is that even "Kirby" acted in this episode too.
Agree, not Combat, yet the same production company (Selmur) and back lot. Is it the height of cynicism to present war conducted successfully by criminals? That might be the farcial aspect.
@@dindinprivate3477 Don't disagree, was just thinking of the overall concept. The notion of "how 'we' won the war" (GG obviously borrowing from Dirty Dozen) had deteriorated by 67. As a kid, I liked both Combat! and Garrison's Gorillas for offering a bit of German and French dialog and interesting men. Combat! was by far the best, of course, but it was all "TV."
One of my favourite episodes 💕💕💕💕💕
i saw this show when i was young. l loved it and all of them.
I wish Garrisons Gorillas could be on the Hero's Channel.

You are welcome.
You can watch the whole series on UA-cam, 😃😃😃
Our favorite German Xtra was killed 2 X this episode. BB looked soooo good this episode & CC was adorable.
Combat! meets mission impossible.... brilliant!!!
Jack Hogan acted as a private Kirby in the TV show ,combat, about 55 years ago .Very nice to see him again in this show

a show that needs to come to dvd.
6 years later... DVD is as dead as VHS

@@dianedenham5259 it never was released officially. there are bootlegs around but i would not waste my money on them.
love it love it! !!!!!!!!!!!

They die of utter embarrassment from bring on this utter crap fest of a show
One thing I like about GG, was they had Cheif in it,Even if he looks Italian , watched these when I was a kid plus McHale's Navy
that gun and bunker looks like the same one used in Combat! - the Gun episode
Yes, it was
With the Gorillas in American Army uniforms, plus the presence of Private Kirby ( Jack Hogan ), this looks more like an episode from " Combat " !

Ami me gusta todos los ipisodio de los comando de garrison grade actores lastima q solo fueron 1 temporada amo este grupo de actores 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

I also noticed that while the credit are running at the start of they show, they show snippets of scenes from the show like they did for "Mission Impossible".
I caught that 6 Million Dollar Man section early on.They lifted the most recognizable part of the theme right out of GG. Coincidence?
The reason why the music is similar to Combat and G.G.

With the same Germans dying...again. And Kirby once again fighting in the same place, but no BAR. Funny stuff.
watched gg when it was on t.v. loved it then still think its good better than most of the stuff on t.v. now
Williams G Kerby
I really liked this episode, but does anyone know why Casino and Actor were both absent for the whole thing?
حلقات مسلسل أكشن عسكري ممتاز جدا وممتع أنصح الجميع بالمتابعة
Skip Homeier and Jack Hogan make a appearance in this Episode..Both were In COMBAT! with Hogan being a Regular On That Show
Wade -- Richard Bakalyn(n) -- was in 2 episodes of Combat: as Sgt Piper in Gitty and Sgt Wolfson in The Prisoner; something really nice about his voice + a Saunders line: "He's just doing his job..."
The same scene in combat THE GUN when they destroyed the gun emplacement exactly the same but different method in destroying
And just like on Combat! the Germans jump out from behind perfectly good cover so they can get shot down like sitting ducks. :)
Yes, and the Germans lost this war as well as the last.
Wonder where Actor and Casino were for this episode?
some of the escape footage is reused from combat. there is an episode in which the Germans captured Saunders and he managed to escape. the episode was also in color.
Love it
jack hogan was great on combat.
William G Kirby
@@mikeywilkinsjr3769 kirby carried the BAR. MY DAD DID ALSO IN WORLD WAR II.
Those Dog's are Badass. I have a little white Maltese that would make em chase her. That's when her big sister gets involved. 55 lb Australian Shepherd. Knocks me over at 220 and she doesn't play with others.

Hay escenas "prestadas" de la serie Combate
I believe they had the same gun, same bunker, same small lake, same plot, same music in Combat.
Kirby!!
So many scenes in this episode were lifted directly from 3 different episodes of Combat! that it is surely plagiarism! The funny part is that even "Kirby" acted in this episode too.
That's because the Producers, Directors, Writers and others were the same for Combat!.
Interesting. Garrisoln's Gorillas then was meant to be a farce? It certainly nwasn't of the quality of Combat! as a war series.
Agree, not Combat, yet the same production company (Selmur) and back lot. Is it the height of cynicism to present war conducted successfully by criminals? That might be the farcial aspect.
The farcical aspects imo are the ridiculous assignments and how they are carried out. No realism whatsoever, pure teenage type fantasy.

i like how many of these shows portray the German's as stupid. it was quite the opposite.
Notice who won the war...

A série é ótima. Mas poderia ser dublados.
The scenes with the dogs and the trains are from Combat!. A direct copy (theft!) of the show.
Same producers; I'd call it recycling. It's a little different but Combat also used footage taken by the US and German armed forces.
