Commando Garrison

Garrison's Gorrilas came on when I was 11 and I absolutely fell in love with it. Until GoodLife TV brought it back, all I had were my memories after it was canceled. Granted, it has it's flaws, but the characters were wonderful, the story lines were fun and I was in love with Brendon Boone almost immediately. Granted I lean more toward Ron harper now, those two will always be my favorite characters :) One of the reasons it stayed with me for so long is the fact that I used to watch it with my Grandfather just before he passed away after a long battle with cancer. He would be laying on the couch and I would be sitting on the chair or the floor in the living room, discussing the episodes as we watched them. So it will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

I watched this series when it premiered a long time ago. I liked it a lot. Since I was a teen then, it's sort of dream-like to try to remember all of it. I loved the play between the characters. Especially between "The Warden" and the "Con's". This is a much better series to watch than that movie they made with Lee Marvin. In the "Garrison's Gorillas" series, the characters and the play between them was more human and more humane with the convicts trying to win Pardons for working with the Allies against the Germans. I hope one day one of the television stations will re-run this series so I can re-watch and enjoy it again!!!

Maybe it is a normal TV Programe in the States, but in China, almost everybody know it. It was the second American TV/Movie played in China. Even the famous TV program like prison break, 24 hours could not catch up with it.

The character of Actor and Goniff are my best favor. The Chinese dubbing of five person are very good.

Although it was played before 20 years, but they still have plenty of fans in China. There is a funny story. In the year of the first play, plenty of insurance cabinet steal cases happened. It was said that the theft were influenced by the TV program.

I have bought DVD version, but it is not clear enough. So, does anyone know where can bought the DVD-9 standard disc? Thanks

I was 11 when it came out like some here. I was caught up in the opening theme song and Chief. However, watching 5 years of Combat with GG having a similar theme of defeating the Nazis left me lukewarm about the show. It definitely had its great moments, but similar background music to Combat kept me wishing Combat hadn't been canceled. It is now on YouTube and probably most of the episodes you can still see. I don't recall, seeing it was 50 years ago, but I believe I watched most of the episodes. But time to move on from killing more Germans.

A great series full of repartee between characters and loyalty to each other. Some themes have parallel truths with actual war.
