- Twelve O'Clock High is an American drama series set in World War II. This TV series originally broadcast on ABC-TV for two-and-one-half TV seasons from September 18, 1964, through January 13, 1967; was based on the motion picture Twelve O'Clock High (1949).
Top 5 episode for me. Funny, moving and touching, and tackles probably the most philosophical aspect of faith, esp. in the Jewish religion - why many good people suffer while bad people live the good life. Also loved the hospital scenes with the nurse - how she almost faints when he appoints her "commander," and how he then barks order to his "commander." Sorrell Booke actually was Jewish, and was quite brilliant. He was HS valedictorian, had degrees from Yale and Columbia, spoke 5 languages fluently (incl. Japanese) and served in counterintelligence in the Korean War.
“Nobody gets out of this life alive” Very prophetic
This is my favorite Twelve O'Clock High episode. Everyone involved with it was absolutely wonderful.
Wow, loved this episode, never seen Lansing smile so much and Boss Hogg gave an excellent performance, actually brought tears to my eyes.
I watched this series when it originally aired. Robert Lansing was always my favorite. Have really enjoyed watching these episodes again. The General Savage character reminds somewhat of the Jethro Leroy Gibbs character on NCIS.
I'm only 16 years old so I obviously never got to see this show as a kid, but I really wish I had been a child back then when TV shows had actual character building morals unlike today when sex and violence is all there is to see. I largely prefer to watch shows like this to fill my spare time entertainment. I don't care if I get judged by kids my age, at least I care what I put into my mind. Twelve O'Clock High and Combat are two of my favorite TV series.
One of the best episodes 👏
I wish shows like this could still be seen. Not just on UA-cam but on the air or something
Marvelous episode!!
Amazing the unabashed references to religion, the soul, and morality. We never get that in today's TV series or movies. It was a different time.
I think that this may be my favorite episode!! FANTASTIC!!!

🌹🌟💯 Visual Arts like this one can't be remade once these are engraved in the timeline of history!
Great episode and theme! My favorite one of the Series. ❤️🙏👍
Sadly on the day this episode aired, John Larkin (General Crowe) died of a heart attack at the age of 52.....filming had just wrapped when he was stricken....a very huge loss for the series
“I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (Etienne De Grellet)
Liked Wendy's post! I did watch Combat and 12 O'clock High. Wore the steel helmets from a surplus trailer. Lots' of us kids in the neighborhood played army for quite a while. Because of this experience, I enlisted into the Army, got my "screaming Eagle patch, went a little further and was accepted into Special Forces. I enjoyed the whole experience. Now I'm 65yrs and still watch both in the morning to start my day.
As usual, another great episode, but this one even had a bit of comedy in it.
Have seen this on television and there is a different version. Shows General Savage being brought into the ward and the reaction of the others and then it also included the surgery being performed on the General. There was one scene in this version that had been omitted and that was the scene with the doctor going in to check on him after Aronson leaves. I prefer the television version better. But I still watch this one because I love the program. I'm 62 and remember watching it with my Dad when I was young. I remember my Dad telling me he flew in a B17 and when the Army and the Air Force separated, he went Army instead of Air Force. He said he preferred to keep his feet on solid earth. This does bring back so many memories. I only wish the generations of today could have1/3rd the respect for our military forces as this country had back then.
lt's a complete understatement to say they don't make TV shows like this anymore. The absolute garbage that's on today could never come anywhere close to what we had back in the day. l was 10 years old when this show aired and it was one of many great ones, but at least we still have some of them are here.
