• F Troop was an American TV series which showed the Wild West in a new light; the pioneers, and soldiers of the US Army were anything but fearless adventurers taming the vast American wilderness, and the braves of the local Injun tribe were anything but brave.
  
  This short-lived comedy was first aired in 1965, crossed the Atlantic in 1968 and was both syndicated and transferred to DVD.
  
  Although both George Armstrong Custer and Chief Sitting Bull would have turned in their graves, the theme song captured the spirit of the show to a tee, particularly the verse:
  
  Where Indian fights are colorful sights
  And nobody takes a lickin'
  Where paleface and redskin
  Both turn chicken
• "F Troop Theme" was co-written by Irving Taylor (1914-83) and William Lava (1911-71). >>
