This isn't posted with the intention of being political so please don't make it to be. Just a funny classic TV clip I wanted to share.
Chief Wild Eagle was decades ahead of Bill Clinton.

Loved that show.

For years Larry Storch was the emcee of the annual IBEW dinner in NYC. My Dad said he was a really funny guy.

Funny. When the Chinese balloon entered the media coverage, "It is balloon!" was the first thing I thought of. Classic 60s TV.

So I wasn't the only one.
One of my favorite shows.

@RU4Real gave us a hint about her in another thread on F-Troop. Did some research, interesting story.

And she said Larry Storch was always nice to her and a gentleman.

That she lied about her age and producers had to change some scripts and hire a teacher on set?

One article I read said "almost 16" or "just shy of 16."

She was born on April 16, 1949. The first episode of F Troop aired Sept. 14, 1965.

She's six months older than I am.
Back then I liked older women.

Cast in the Winter of ‘65.

Wish I knew more about Frank De Kova. The guy actually had a small role in the Ten Commandments. But how did an Italian guy from NYC end up playing so many Native American roles??

Cast in the Winter of ‘65.

In the winter of 65 we were hungry just barely alive

Maybe according to history but not according to the song.

Here's a 15 minute You Tube bio on Melody Patterson with photos and clips from the show and other roles she played on TV and movies. Included is the story of how she landed the role by lying about her true age but how Patterson eventually kept the job. She and Ken Berry's Captain Palmenter F Troop roles were altered. Instead of Palmenter having a more serious relationship, Wrangler Jane was left to pursue him while he would "avoid" more personal entanglements.
