Summary: Classic comedy from the 60"s
Comment: I already had several episodes i bought from cloumbia house on tape but wanted the dvds.I watched the show when i was young and just loved it.It always made me laugh.The only complaint i have is the set i got had one episode that was very spotty.It was the one with zsa zsa gabor playing a gypsy.I dont know what happened as all the other ones were just great.I had the set for awhile before i opened it and it was to late to return it so i will have to live with it.It was only about 3 or 4 minutes of the episode so no big deal.Now i check everything i buy right away to be sure they are ok.

Summary: They don't make shows like this anymore!
Comment: There were a lot of excellent television series produced in the 1960's. However, I can't think of another comedy series based in the late 1860's.
F-Troop's basic premise is keeping the aloof Capt. Parmenter out of the illicit business dealings of Sergeant O'Rourke, and Corporal Agarn, who are in business with the local Indian tribe, the Hekawis. The Hekawis are perceived to be a threat to the town, hence Fort Courage and F-Troop being there.
The real value is in the casting. The casting director for F-Troop is a genius (except for the fact that Melody Patterson was 16 years old at the time, hard to believe I know). Forrest Tucker as Sgt. O'Rourke, Larry Storch as Cpl. Agarn, Ken Berry as Capt. Parmenter, and Frank DeKova as Chief Wild Eagle all excel in their roles. The guest stars are also enjoyable, especially seeing them now after many have gone on to greater things.
My only criticism of the show is the slapstick physical humor gets a bit old after a while, but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the series. Capt. Parmenter must have a perpetual inner ear issue to fall over so frequently!
I rented this at the library and ordered it from Amazon after seeing the first few episodes. The first episode is very funny. If you like the first episode, you are good to go with the series. I highly recommend this series!

After accidentally leading a cavalry charge into victory, Private Wilton Parmenter becomes a hero and is given command of Fort Courage. Here, his group of cavalrymen bumble through fighting their enemies and working with the local Hekawi Indians to sell items to tourists.
