Even back then i used to feel weird watching it. The "dad" used to get really close to the kids.
Thats my memory and my fears were well founded as what was later to be known about that particular poor excuse for a human.

I can't imagine any remakes having the same impact.
Another show of a "military" nature that I liked was Sgt. Bilko, played by Phil Silvers.
Pickles.

As for war or military stuff. Hogans Heros was my show but i think it was a little later after Dads Army and Bilko.
Cant think that far back. I still watch Hogans Heros when i see it on the idiot box.
