F Troop
F Troop was an American television sitcom that originally aired from 1965-1967 on ABC. The show was set at Fort Courage, an Army outpost in the West, in the years following the Civil War. The principals of the show included the gallant but clumsy Capt. Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry), who commanded the company; his girlfriend, the tom-boyish yet sexy "Wrangler" Jane Angelica Thrift (Melody Patterson); the hotheaded Sgt. Morgan O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker); and the dimwitted Cpl. Randolph Agarn (Larry Storch). The troop kept a peace with the local Indian tribe (the Hekawei), although they sometimes pretended to be antagonists when outsiders showed up expecting the soldiers and natives to be enemies. Much of the humor on the show was derived from physical comedy, stock sitcom situations, and the occasional anachronistic joke. Guest stars included Vincent Price and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
