I have been recently watching Hogan's Heroes again. I have been enjoying this show about American POW's in a Nazi prison camp during WWII. It is nice to be able to watch a tv show which I do not have to worry about what I am going to see next. But at the same time as an adult there is one thing I did not notice before and that is the fact that while Sergeant Schultz is married he is always talking about meeting girls. This is also besides the fact that he is always looking for ways to stop from seeing his wife and kids. While it is not an overt theme the fact it saddens me to see the dismissal of marriage vows even in jest. While I still would recommend the tv show as it is relatively clean I would remind people that it is always good to be on the lookout for those little messages that sneak into our minds and the minds of our kids. We can not "unwatch" or "unhear" anything and it is imperative to guard against becoming complacent in the face of sin. Again, while I do not think it is a reason to not watch the show, I think that it is important that we be reminded that sin is never something to dismissed or used as a joke and something that should always be addressed so as not to become desensitized.
Have a great day, Nina
