Combat! was an American television program that aired on ABC from 1962 until 1967. The exclamation point in "Combat!" was a stylized bayonet.
The show covered the lives of a squad of American soldiers in France during World War II and starred Vic Morrow, Rick Jason, Pierre Jalbert, Jack Hogan, Shecky Greene, and Dick Peabody. It was produced by Robert Blees, Robert Altman (briefly), Richard Caffey, Gene Levitt, and Richard Mailbaum. The executive producer was Selig J. Seligman. Ten episodes were directed by Altman, who went on to make M*A*S*H and other acclaimed films.
Combat! ran for five seasons, of which the first four are in black and white, with a move to color for the final season. All five seasons are currently available on DVD (UPC 0-14381-24692-6).
Interestingly, CBS Paramount Television owns American television distribution rights to the series; however, according to the packaging on the DVD sets from Image Entertainment, Buena Vista Television holds the copyright to the series.
