 A Fun Series January 2, 2009
This collection covers the entire run (two seasons) of 'The Rat Patrol'. It is an enjoyable series that will likely appeal primarily to military buffs and those who remembered seeing it in the late 1960s on TV.
This show is far less sophisticated than some of the better television programs of today. The plots are pretty basic and there are few special effects.
In spite of that, this is a lot of fun. The basic storyline consists consist of four men in two jeeps on the Allied side. Their mission is to harass elements of Rommel's Afrika Korps. Sgt. Sam Troy (Christopher George) and Sgt. Jack Moffit (Gary Raymond) are the main ones. Their nemesis is German Capt. Hans Hauptmann (Eric Braeden).
If you are interested in a fairly basic TV drama, this is a good one.

This was a fun little show that I remember as a kid. It was fun to watch it then and it's great to see it now. With both seasons included and a great price, you can't go wrong.
High art it's not, but it's a lot of fun December 22, 2008

I'm sure many would consider this a little hokey and outdated, and it probably is, but I still find it rather refreshing. In the absence of big budgets and lots of special effects, the series has to rely more upon classic story-telling elements, so the writing is engaging and the characters are intrinsically interesting. Despite the time period in which this was produced, neither the Allies nor the Germans are depicted as purely good or evil - the American "good guys" make occasional mistakes; the German "bad guy," Hauptmann Dietrich, is clever, resourceful, and imbued with integrity, compassion, and mercy, really a rather likable fellow. Another refreshing twist is that the series employs actors with native speaking ability in the languages being used: the Germans are played by German actors who speak perfect German, the Arabs speak flawless Arabic, the Italians speak Italian, etc.. Seeing the war in Africa through the eyes of two jeep crews lends a different perspective than one commonly gets in the big war movies. The episodes are short, only 30 minutes, which keeps the vignettes to a short duration and a rapid pace, and it requires no great commitment of time to watch an episode of two. Again, this is not Shakespeare, but it's a fun and entertaining series for what it is.
A great way to show this generation the shows of your time December 4, 2008

Who could ever forget the RAT PATROL!! My son (14) had never heard of this show (of course) but now we have this dvd set and he and my husband watch it together. Now they both start humming the theme song at the craziest times. They have enjoyed it TOGETHER. I am really glad I bought it.

Just as I remember watching as a child. The episodes seem rather repititious with the plotline, but is still fun to relive some childhood TV watching.
