Review of F Troop

F Troop (1965–1967)
10/10
An Excellent Clean Comedy
25 December 2022
In 1965, ABC aired a western comedy ("F-Troop"), created by Richard Bluel; which, sadly, only ran for two seasons. This was a clean comedy about a U. S. cavalry fort on the American frontier, shortly after the American Civil War and one of the tribes that they were on friendly terms with (the fictional Hakawi tribe). It was an episodic show that had the characters getting into a different misadventure each episode.

Most of these comedic situations would be instigated by Corporal Agarn (played by Larry Storch) and Sergeant O'Rourke (played by Forrest Tucker). These two were among a great comedic cast, that included Melody Patterson, who proved that a woman does not need to dress scantily to be alluring.

Also, despite what some might have you believe there were woman characters like Wrangler Jane who were smart and tough, while still being able to maintain their femininity. There were a great many, who were far from being a Brady.

As well as being well-acted and written, this television show was, also, quite technically sound, despite being made in the 1960s. The picture quality was quite clear.

I can not think of a single flaw, with this show. If anything, maybe it would be the tribal scenes looking a bit like they were on a set. I give it an 11/11. If you want to see a clean and well-done comedy. Give it a watch.
