Rat Patrol

[morfiend]

what? rat patrol was great man...or i was too young to care about the quality   those jeeps with the 50 cals jumping across the sand dunes were awesome to me. always wanted to try that stunt but was too afraid of busting my face on the m2 receiver assembly.  

i wish netflix had baa baa black sheep...  

 Ya gyrene I used to think that too until I saw rat patrol a couple years ago!

  watch it now and see if it still meets your expectations,kinda reminded me of the Ateam.......  Now combat was shown up here on history channel and it still is great and much like I remembered,rat patrol,well lets just say it left me wondering why I found it so fasinating as a kid!


  YMMV.

  i know what you mean. the scripts were...elementary to say the least. i think it was just the vehicles that i was enthralled with, they fed my model building addiction. never really got into combat though, probably because my parents was hogging the television watching the honeymooners or i love lucy or something.

BaaBaa BlackSheep was my favorite, they have the shows on YouTube by eagle flier1, I think that was his name.

Shuffler when most of us old farts were growing up we did have cells, and if our parents did they were so big that they were wired into the truck or car cause you could carry them.

Any of us 60's kiddies remember Rat Patrol, Combat, 12 O'Clock High, Garrison's Guerrillas and any number of WW2 themed shows.  Of course we were running around with toy Tommy Guns too

Combat! was the best of the bunch in my opinion.  Where's the Sarge when you need em?

Vic Morrow was BORN to play that part

Rat Patrol is extremely cheesy but i like it anyway
