Rating: 5.0
F-Troop Still Hilarious After More than 40 Years!!
You cannot name one favorite episode of this first year compilation nor would you really want to....there are so many side-splitting laughes to last a life time. However, a good case would be for the original episode which introduces us to good, but klutzy Captain Wilton Parmeter, devious but lovable Sargeant O'Rourke and Corporal Agorn, and Edward Everett Horton and Fred de Kova as the Hikawi medicine man and chief, respectively. This first episode sets the stage for EVERTHING which follows. Watch and see how Captain Parmeter proves he IS the "scourge of the West", and drop dead laughing while Corporal Agorn refreshes the Indians with war-dance lessons!! You will literally laugh till you cry. Whether you remember their antics from your youth or are just now discovering this comedy treasure, you won't be able to stop watching this first year laugh bonanza ..see the bugle played upside down in the worst way possible, wait for the inevitable toppling of the watch tower and some expected (and unexpected) cannon firings....watch the Indians borrow the cannon for their Moon Festival while Captain Parmeter and Wrangler Jane share a tender interlude. Wait for the complications and their hilarious solutions. Be astonished and amused as the Indians industrously promote themselves with timely souvenirs while O'Rourke and Agorn enrich themselves. These episodes are well written, well acted and filmed with creative comic timing and sense....you may never see anything funnier. It deserves a prominent place in your comedy collection and, by all means, watch it, watch it and watch it over again!!
