Reminds me of the Gilligan's Island episode that ran a couple years earlier and had a rock and roll band show up on the Island (The Mosquitos). Both episodes ended with the cast forming their own rock and roll band. Also similar plots on The Munsters and a few others of the period. The fact this happens in the Old West really is hilarious.
F Troop was no ordinary western as it poked fun of the Beatles, The famous eating scene in "Tom Jones" was parodied, and things in the news of the day. It was a parody of "Fort Apache" type films also.
It is actually THE FACTORY, included Lowell, Richie Hayward and Martin Kibbee. I am working on putting togther a couple more off this show but I have a new computer and have to find the software I used to convert it to usable WMA format.
F Troop was one of the greatest TV shows of all time...Wow, I was totally blown away..Lowell George was the lead siger of the Bed Bugs...I remember this episode but i never knew that..thx for this huge piece of trivia...UNBELIEVEABLE...u gotta luv this You tube thing!!!!
Well said! Read my comment on one of the other Little Feat vids. I think you'll like it. Yup, best ever American band for sure and Dixie Chicken my all time fave album. RIP Lowell,just far far too soon.
Love It!

How is it these guys can play an electric guitar when electricity wasn't invented until another 40+ years after the Civil War???

Hi, I'm making a biography of sorts on Lowell and I'm wondering if you might steer me in the direction of this (Or any) Lowell footage.
Thanks,
