There are positive messages in these fine shows underneath all the wonderful foolishness.
For one thing, the power of kindness. Everybody is kind to one another. Captain Parmenter is kind to all of his men, including the lowest ranks. He's kind to the town drunk and to the gunfighter who wants to kill him. He even tames the angry renegade Bald Eagle with kindness. In turn, O'Rourke, Agarn, and Dobbs are always kind to him ("Are you all right, sir?") and his men watch out for him.
Parmenter is brave. He always leads the charge and faces every problem. He does his duty and pushes the others to do theirs. He tries to do the right thing. He keeps going, no matter what happens. And he *does* succeed in his job of keeping the peace in the area. (He just doesn't understand why.)
Wild Eagle doesn't kowtow to the white men. They come to him for help and advice. He keeps the pressure up on O'Rourke and outsmarts him regularly. The chief uses his intelligence, shrewdness, and drive for the good of the people he leads. He, too, is successful... his tribe is prosperous and at peace.
O'Rourke's crooked schemes fail, his noncom club warehouse regularly going up in flames. However, his kindly schemes succeed.
Lots of messages in this show.

F Troop is a classic 1960's television series which, like other great shows, is better appreciated today. The presentation is very good and the shows are very enjoyable to re-visit in colour. A great buy and a must for serious Troopees.

F-Troop is one of the best shows to ever air. I like the first season better than the second season, but overall, they're all good. Larry Storch is terrific in anything he is in and Tuck adds some great facial expressions to all the antics. Ken Berry is a talented physical actor. Never knew he could do the stuff he did on F-Troop. It's a splendid series that I highly recommend for laugh after laugh.

"F Troop" is a great series and represents simple uncomplicated fun. The quality of the video transfers in this package is excellent and the boxed set includes a brief retrospective documentary that fans should enjoy. The package thankfully only uses single sided DVD disks which I believe are less prone to scratching than double sided disks.
"F Troop" series two shows how consistent the series quality was. There are only a few weak episodes in the whole bunch. Series Two is definitely zanier than series one featuring as it does German balloonists, the Hackowi's Hugh Hefneresque "Playbrave Club" and visits from Vincent Price in full Transylvanian garb and even a Beatles' like pop band "the Bed Bugs" (which actually featured Lowell George and Richie Hayward who would later form part of "Little Feat"). Also Series Two gives greater screen time to supporting cast members like Duffy, Vanderbilt and Hannibal Dobbs.
To date no one has attempted a Hollywood revival of "F Troop" which is probably a good thing. Why bother with inferior substitutes when the real deal is available in such a fine package.
