Product: F Troop: The Complete First Season (2006)
Rating: 4.0
Excellent video transfer - superior package
"F Troop" is certainly one of the funniest of the "golden age of television" series. The humour is still fresh today. Indeed F Troop, being a satire of both "the western" and military life, has an extra dimension for modern audiences. Today we're stuck in a era when westerns, especially "cowboy and indian" westerns, have become both politically incorrect and unfashionable. F Troop pokes fun at the old stereotypes whilst gently celebrating them. And of course, with a new global war raging satires on the military, now rare, but once common, if only in "McHale's Navy" and "Bilko", have a topical appeal."F Troop - Series One" has great funny episodes, all featuring the great F Troop cast, including appearances from Edward Everett Horton, who most of us know only as a voice from the great "Fractured Fairy Tales" cartoon. Series One was shot in glorious black and white, you will have to wait for later series to get F Troop "in Color". The video and audio reproduction are excellent.The package itself is good too. The box set comprises of three plastic packs with two DVDs per pack. The DVDs are single sided DVDs. In my experience dual sided DVDs are more prone to handling damage in everyday use, so "F Troop Series One" is a DVD collection that you will not only want to play over and over, but you can play over and over too!Bravo!
