Editorial Reviews

Product Description

F Troop is set at Fort Courage, Kansas, a fictional Army outpost in the West, in 1865, the year the Civil War ended. The commanding officer at Fort Courage is the gallant but chronically clumsy and accident-prone Captain Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry), the descendant of a long line of military leaders. He is awarded the Medal of Honor after accidentally instigating the final charge at Appomattox: he is meant to call "retreat", but he sneezes just as he is about to speak and his troops mistake this for the order "Charge!" His superiors soon realize his ineptitude and post him to remote Fort Courage, a dumping ground for the least useful or trustworthy soldiers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of F-Troop Seasons 1 & 2, August 23, 2007

By	Forrest (Albany. Western Australia) - See all my reviews

My husband and I, with friends, recently rode on motorbikes from Albany Western Australia to Tasmania and back. We saw so many places and covered over 10200 kilometres and often couldn't remember just where we had been or where we were. Trudy, one of our fellow riders joked and said we were like the 'Heckarwe' American indian tribe from F-Troop who took their name from being similarly lost and saying to each other "Where the heck are we". Of course, we all fell about laughing, and from that moment on, the Heckarwe featured frequently in our travels.
We reminisced about enjoying F-Troop nearly 40 years ago. On our return, I investigated buying some DVD's of the show. Couldn't find any available in Australia, so tried Amazon, and voila! there they were. Being impulsive I ordered the complete First Two Seasons package. I then had some reservations about my actions as I had found that shows much enjoyed when I was younger somehow, never lived up to the memories and seemed quite tame and silly when viewed many years later.
Anyway, the arrival of the F Troop DVD's was eagerly anticipated. Hooray! They were just as funny. I sat there laughing as much as I had when I first saw them. The humour was still good and I found the gentle, totally un-violent F Troop a refreshing change from some of the shows being produced nowadays. I fully recommend a trip down memory lane with Capt. Parmenter, Sgt. O'Rourke and Corp. Agarn. Great stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 4, 2007

By	D. Bednarz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

F-Troop is one of the most hilarious shows i have ever watched! I watched the entire first season in one night. I almost laughed myself silly! If you love a good laugh, F-troop the first two seasons is a must have for comedy lovers and for people who want to relive their youth. This show is suitable for all ages.
