Which episode has a Nazi officer falling on a grenade in order to save (his daughter's?) life? Could this be "The Life for a Life Raid"? Haven't seen "The Rat Patrol" in over twenty years...it used to air on the local affiliate on Saturday afternoons...I used to think that military/adventure shows from the Sixties would be a rite of passage for subsequent generations. Little did I know that once these programs stopped appearing in syndication that today's youngsters would never get to enjoy these shows. The demise of the local station must have much to do with this.
I'd also looove to see It Takes a Thief again.
"Don't let his innocent face fool you." Troy describing Hitchcock.
I can't answer your RAT question for the time being. In the pilot ("The Chase of Fire Raid"), Troy dates with a gorgeous woman military, Sgt. Victoria Moore aka Vixen, played by "the" lovely Janine Gray. There're well directed episodes by Lee H. Katzin and one ("The Double or Nothing Raid") by the greatest journeyman of the 1960's: Sutton Roley who shot it with extreme wide angle mounted on a hand held camera that bred distortions and great depth of field like an Expressionist film. On the critical note, have you noticed the strange dominant color in some episodes: weird, weird, weird??? Too much magenta.
My deepest wishes, in terms of vintage WWII series, are: "Garrison's Gorillas", produced by the crew of "Combat!" "Jericho" (FSM released the music), a series I don't know and I would be glad to discover. "Twelve O'Clock High": a QM production. Nuff said...

"Twelve O'Clock High" was a decent show when Robert Lansing starred in it. The Dominic Frontiere title theme is arguably the most beautiful he ever wrote. I'd buy it in a minute, released on DVD.
The theme was lovely; it's hard for me to imagine that it wasn't somewhere in the back of Stu Phillips's mind when he wrote the main theme for Battlestar Galactica.
Yeah, I remember this. It debuted the year NBC hired film-poster artists to do artwork to sell the shows...I fondly recall the ones for "I Spy" "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and some new series called "Star Trek." The one for Thomas Hewitt Edward just had his figure with his grappling-hook in full back-swing.
This was the show I really wanted to watch that year. The promos were great. Sadly, I didn't see too many of them.
Just found that promo for 1966-67 shows--featuring that great artwork-- through the miracle of Youtube:
That UNCLE promo looked pretty good! Too bad it turned out to be the dreaded third season.
Does anybody remember the Chevrolet Corvette roadster that Loggia drove in the series (replacing the Jaguar in midseason) that resembled a Grand Sport, and was produced as a model kit, which commands a high price on eBay.

They used some of the star geek artwork on paperbacks that either retold or had original stories. Kirk artwork was on cover.
