Talk:F Troop

message: Isn't quoting the entire theme song more than fair use?

replies: text: Yes. Presumably the lyrics are copyrighted. I wouldn't be surprised if the words to Gilligan's Island were cited in that article, too. The dilemma is that the theme song sets up the premise. So you can restate the theme song and restate the premise and they are pretty much the same. A lot of those early theme songs were basically a capsule explanation of how the characters got where they were. The Beverly Hillbillies would be another example.

message: I seem to recall in its initial run the show had additional lyrics over the end titles in the first few episodes.  One source lists-
Whenever they hail the Cavalry  
They sing of a certain group
But nobody mentions bravery
For there's never been any in...F Troop!
When Indians come to make a raid
No Indian gives a whoop
For Indian braves are all afraid
The noise‘ll arouse and awake...F Troop!
Each man and his horse
are closer of course
Than brother could be to brother
You just can't tell...one...from the other
The Cavalry always talks of them
if ever morale should droop
They know they can cheer downhearted men
With tales that are told of the old...F Troop!Foofbun (talk) 06:01, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I've assessed this article for WP:TV as requested here. I have rated this article as start class because of the lack of an important response section and as low importance because there is little to distinguish it from other articles about television series. The article could be improved by the addition of a response section (covering ratings, critical reception and awards), expansion of the production section and copy-editing. I think there may be some original research where the show is compared to two feature films - are there further references for this comparison?

message: OK, it has "Wrongo Starr and the Lady in Black" with the comment that "Wrongo Starr" is a takeoff on "Ringo Starr", the drummer for the Beatles.  "Lady in Black" reminds me of the Beatles' song "Baby's in Black", recorded sometime in 2nd half of 1964, but because of the original-research angle of the comment you are reading, I am not including it in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

message: If Melody Patterson's birthdate, as shown on her Wiki page, is indeed April 16, 1949, she would not have turned 18 until April 16, 1967 -- ten days after the final new episode of the series aired.  The statement "By the time production of the second season started, Patterson had turned 18[...]" is therefore untrue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.245.113 (talk) 07:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Is there an expert on Indian tribes who can identify the type of tribe the Hekawis would most likely resemble based on their clothing and dress? Is it too generic or mixed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Gruber (talk • contribs) 12:28, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

message: NCO club wasn't hit nearly as much as the watertower, whether from a cannonball or rifle fire. For that matter I believe the NCO club was only hit once which is already mentioned. I believe Agarn usually kicked the cannon and although Dobbs did too but I'm not sure how often.Tim Gruber (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

message: In "A Serious Man," the boy in the film watches F Troop.  Perhaps add a section or "In Popular Culture."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renfield1031 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

message: It seems remiss that the comments regarding the plot engine (in the Creation and production section) don't mention M & M Enterprises from Catch-22.

replies: text: Very true and then there's... Tony Curtis as LtJG Nick Holden in "Operation Petticoat" (1959), '...demonstrates great skill as a scavenger and con artist as the submarine's supply officer.' And again, as Cpl Jackson Leibowitz, a wheeler-dealer from New Jersey, in "Captain Newman, M.D." (1963). 76.218.248.127 (talk) 19:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

message: As a lover of this program, as well as a horse owner, I find a lack of information about the horses and the horse trainer. These horses are trick trained, and do some amazing stunts throughout the series. They are a large and vital part of the show and deserve more credit. The episode "A Horse of Another Color" (Season 2, episode 21) particularly shows the talents and abilities of these horses. I'd like to find out who trained them, and learn much more about the horses in general. The average viewer may not notice their talents as much as someone like myself who works with and owns horses. I will end by saying that these horses had excellent training and show abilities far above the average horse. They deserve much more credit in this article. 208.74.247.250 (talk) 12:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Great, you should definitely write a more detailed article that includes some of that information. Please be sure to use reliable sources and keep the article in balance. Also, be sure not to vandalize the article like you did at flash mob. Best of luck, Mkdwtalk 15:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
