I went to youtube looking for F Troop episodes and hit the jackpot. I forgot HOW funny that show was and that it was in black and white.

Isn't there a Me TV station available in The Villages? They have F Troop on their schedule.

I agree...it was one of the funniest shows on television although I suppose there are people who are offended by its portrayal of Native Americans and members of the military.

I have MeTV on my Comcast channels, not sure about the other TV services. I love that channel, I'm very addicted to retro television.

In "Reunion for O'Rourke", Chief Wild Eagle explains how the tribe got its name: "Many moons ago tribe move west because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood. Tribe travel west, over country and mountains and wild streams, then come big day... tribe fall over cliff, that when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, "I think we lost. Where the heck are we?".[15] "Where the heck are we?" became "We're the Hekawi" (the original name for the tribe in the series, 'Fugawi', was changed after the censors discovered the sentence "Where the Fugawi?"[27]).

I had to read this twice. I had no idea. I thought she was in her mid twenties.

Melody Patterson lied about her age to get the part of Wrangler Jane. She was 15 at the time of her audition, but turned 16 by the time filming started. As a result the romance between Jane and Parmenter was kept very low key during the first season. By the time production of the second season started, Patterson had turned 17 and Parmenter's affections were made stronger and Jane was made more sexually aggressive (Patterson was 10 days short of turning 18 when the last episode was aired).

Speaking of MeTV, they've got the original, "The Mummy", with Boris Karloff, on tonight. What could be better than that?
