6. It's the Burglar of Banf-fuh-fuh!

One of the greatest jokes in sitcom history...Gerhardt the interpreter who could speak every Indian language and German....but no English and no one at the post spoke German.

Ever see the Spy magazine piece that pointed out that F-Troop and Dances With Wolves were exactly alike? The hero becomes a Civil War hero by accident, and goes out west to discover Indians are kindly and the cavalry is cowardly and corrupt?

This is the cereal that's shot from guns....

7. OMG! I never thought

9. Any time

Remember the episode with Milton Berle as the Indian private detective, with the tiny bow and arrow in a shoulder holster? He got locked in the closet, and when they let him out there were little arrows stuck in the door all around the doorknob.

11. Schtick in extremis...

which is just fine by me.
I think almost everyone on that show had a comical ethnic double...Agarn had a russian cousin...O'Rourke had a wacky Irish Father...F Troop itself was a polyglot collection of vaudville caricatures right down to the confederates, krauts and Alamo leftovers.
Hell the only normal one was poor old lovesick gun totin' wrangler Jane...and she was possibly the most transgressive female on a 1960's sitcom.
A young woman who could rope and shoot better than her hapless boyfriend??
NO WONDER WE WERE LOSING VIET NAM!!!!
:)
And then there were the Heckawee Indians....presided over by a Jewish Pawnbroker ("Wild Eagle" a sense of commerce to put News Corp to shame), his rabbinical friend Crazy Cat and the medicine man played with waspy gusto by Edward Everett Horton ("good roughage")....
Anyone else notice the Heckawees dressed suspiciously like Haight Ashbury hippies!??
