Sketch o’the Week: F Troop!

I have to admit I saw very few episodes of “F Troop” in syndication as a kid. It just wasn’t a show my local stations carried in the hours immediately after school when I watched TV. The few episodes I did see were mainly when I was home sick from school, and caught many old syndicated shows on during the day. My mom would put me in front of our TV on the couch, bundled up in blankets and sipping soup out of a thermos while she worked, and I’d veg out watching old shows. I remember F Troop being very reliant on slapstick/physical humor. I also remember recognizing stars Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker as also having starred in the Saturday morning kids show “The Ghost Busters” which I’d seen. Frankly their characters were very similar in both shows. Anyway, here’s a sketch of Storch, Tucker and fellow stars Ken Berry and Melody Patterson form “F Troop”!
