    One of the coolest TV shows from my early youth. That opening sequence where the jeeps are flying over the dunes with guns a-blazing was awesome. I don't understand why it hasn't received the major motion picture revival thing yet.

    That would be valid in some parts of the world where they hate us for our freedoms, but no American should ever forget The Rat Patrol...

    Rat Patrol would not have been cinematically possible without ...

    I remember Rat Patrol being on TV on Saturday or Sunday afternoons when I was in the 2nd grade. One of my friends was very into it and talked about it all the time, but I don't remember ever actually watching it myself.

    The step up to color from black and white was like the step from analog to Hi-def digital with surround sound. When I was little I used to run through the house yelling "color, color" when the the NBC peacock came on at 7 PM Sunday nights and spread it's colored tail to let you know that they were going to a color broadcast.

    And The Rat Patrol was ultra-cool.


    (there was no humor in it like McHale's)
