This TV series was absolutely brilliant! I remember rushing home from school to watch it. ABC Australia had it on at around 5:00 pm. The whole set up was really clever. The "Hekawi" Indian tribe who always got lost! (As in where the heck are we!) {Get it! 'We're the Hekawi!'} Dobbs, the bugler who couldn't play the bugle. Bumbling Colonel Parmenter, who managed to solve problems, by using the only ability he had... bumbling. Sgt O'Rourke who was one of the classic "lead from behind" characters in any series. Corporal Agarn, who always got things wrong, and that was before he put his foot in it! Tropper Duffy, who survived the Alamo, if anyone wanted to listen. {BTW, history has that that there were only one or two survivors of the Alamo!} And, of course Wrangler Jane, the female lead and colonel Parmenter's love interest. The original forward, put it out there, female. An absolutely fantastic series. Only three seasons! Shame!
