F-Troop belongs to the ranks of television's great military slacker comedies, including Sgt. Bilko and McHale's Navy. Ken Berry was promoted from bit player to leading man with his role as clueless and clumsy ("I fall down a lot") Wilton Parmenter, who is put in charge of the frontier post Fort Courage after a display of inadvertent Civil War heroism. "He's the pigeon we always dreamed of," enthuses Sgt. O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker), who runs "O'Rourke Enterprises" with his sidekick Corporal Agarn (Larry Storch). Most episodes involve O'Rourke and Agarn's get-rich schemes that ultimately backfire. The show's great (albeit politically incorrect) comic conceit is the Hekawis, the decidedly un-bloodthirsty Indian tribe who makes tourist souvenirs, not war. "We invent peace pipe," proclaims Chief Wild Eagle (Frank DeKova), whose broken English and anachronistic vernacular (similar to Joey Bishop in Texas Across the River) provide most of each episode's biggest--and, in these more enlightened times, guiltiest--laughs.
F's troupe also includes Melody Patterson as Wrangler Jane, who has a hankerin' for "Will" ("I told you, Jane, not in front of the men"), James Hampton as bungling bugler Dobbs, Joe Brooks as nearsighted look-out Vanderbilt, cowboy star Bob Steele as gung-ho Alamo survivor Duffy, and venerable character actor (and Rocky and Bullwinkle's "Fractured Fairy Tales" narrator) Edward Everett Horton as Hekawi medicine man Roaring Chicken. Among the more memorable guest appearances include Zsa Zsa Gabor as a gypsy who attempts to fleece Agarn in "Play, Gypsy, Play," and Don Rickles (!) as Chief Wild Eagle's excitable, warlike son in "The Return of Bald Eagle." The episode, "Reunion for O'Rouke," contains the classic bit about how the Hekawis got their name. F-Troop debuted in 1965 and lasted but two seasons. It broke no television ground and was never nominated for an Emmy. A single-disc compilation of six episodes is also available, but Baby Boomers who remember F-Troop fondly will want to enlist for a full season. It's old school, flat-out funny. --Donald Liebenson

F Troop has been a favorite for a long time. I was delighted to find it available on DVD. It is timeless humor, enjoyable over and over.
The cast was great, Hard to believe the female lead, Melody Anderson, was only 16 at the series start! One thing nice about the older TV series is that they don't cover up the dialog with dumb songs. F Troop - The Complete First Two Seasons 1&2

See, granted the first season opening credits with brilliantly written theme song and exciting action sequences (like the exploding lookout tower!) are far better than the second season's opening credits with
still(!)animation shots and instrumental theme (the show needed a new opening as it switched from b+w to color). But I have reservations that all of season one was better. They were just getting to know their characters in season one and they look and act differently (noticeably beauty ... Read More

I saw the entire first season DVD while I was on vacation. I am 40, and remember the reruns as a kid. I hadn't seen them in at least 25 years. I understand and appreciate them even more, now. With this unwatchable garbage on TV, like reality this, reality that, Dancing with the Stars, Eating with the Stars, Jogging with the Stars, Dieting with the Stars, etc, this is a breath of fresh air. They sure don't make comedies like this anymore. Thank God for DVDs.
