Combat! "A Day in June" #1.11 (1962) (TV)

My first experience with Combat!, 16 June 2006

Combat! originally aired the year before I was born. Over the years, I somehow never had the opportunity to see show, so this was my first experience. I'm glad the DVD set begins with "A Day in June" as the first episode. The story of how the guys went through D-Day and on to their first mission seems to be a good starting point. While you could pick at the show's lack of realistic action or the absence of blood or the fact that the Germans are treated as little more than stiffs, but these weaknesses are more than offset by the positives. Good acting, intelligent writing, and likable characters make Combat! and the episode "A Day in June" a winner.

8/10
