- Go west.and go loco. Yes, Captain Parmenter and his buffoons in blue are ready again to untame the wilderness in TV's wackiest Western spoof. Wrangler Jane still pines after Parmenter, the Hekawis still plot after profits and Sergeant O'Rourke and Corporal Agarn have more get-rich-quick schemes up their regimental sleeves. A plains-load of comic guest stars joins the fun, including Phil Harris as

DVD Review: Colorful Fort Courage
Summary: 4 Stars
The original cast of regulars returns for the second and final season of the only reasonably successful Western sitcom. Sgt. O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker) and Cpl. Agarn (Larry Storch) are still busily running O'Rourke Enterprises under the Army's radar; Capt. Parmenter (Ken Berry) is still conscientiously trying to run his fort according to the manual, and Wrangler Jane (Melody Patterson) is still trying to maneuver him into marriage; Chief Wild Eagle (Frank deKova) and his Hekawi Indians are still colluding with O'Rourke and Agarn; Pvt. Dobbs (James Hampton) is still blowing sour notes right and left, Pvt. Duffy (Bob Steele) is still retelling his exploits at the Alamo, and Pvt. Vanderbilt (Joe Brooks) is still not seeing what's in front of his nose. Only this time, they're doing it all in color. And a new wrinkle--and a new standing joke--is added in the person of Wild Eagle's "Assistant Chief," Crazy Cat (Don Diamond), who dreams eagerly of the day when he can step into the boss's moccasins.
Intriguingly, there seems to be a trend toward the semi-serious, or at least the seriocomic, in this season. In "Reach for the Sky, Pardner," Agarn and O'Rourke try to trap the outlaws who made off with the fort's monthly payroll, and in "Wilton the Kid" Berry plays a dual role as Parmenter and his double, the bank-robbing Kid Vicious (no, he wasn't named after *Sid* Vicious, who hadn't yet begun his career at the time). In "The Ballot of Corporal Agarn," the corporal's absentee ballot will break the tie for Mayor of Passaic, and both the candidates descend on Fort Courage in an effort to capture it, while "The Day They Shot Agarn" finds our hapless two-striper facing the firing squad after a prisoner he was escorting escaped and may have killed O'Rourke. In "Guns, Guns, Who's Got the Guns?," Parmenter and his noncoms contend with an inspecting officer who claims someone on the Fort's roster is selling firearms to the Apaches. "The Majority of Wilton" sees Capt. Parmenter resolved to study for the examination that may get him promoted to Major, but when he comes down with a cold all his friends (notwithstanding the fact that he's teetotal) ply him with alcohol-laced remedies--and when his Cavalry Manual is destroyed O'Rourke must turn tutor to drill him in the required subjects. In "Carpetbagging, Anyone?," a stranger comes to town and starts buying it up--along with everyone else within eyeshot--and Parmenter, Agarn, and O'Rourke join forces to try to drive him out. In "The Sergeant and the Kid," 10-year-old Joey Walker, whose father was a Cavalry trooper, wants to join up, much against the wishes of his widowed mother, and we're left with the impression that O'Rourke is smitten; in "Is This Fort Really Necessary?," not only must Parmenter, O'Rourke, and Agarn contend with the possibility that their fort will be deactivated, but O'Rourke meets an old flame, and the attraction is still very much in force. (Both these sgments showcase Tucker's versatility--he could do just as well at character drama as at comedy.) And in "Miss Parmenter," although it begins with the Captain's visiting spinster sister aggressively pursuing Pvt. Dobbs, things turn a bit grim when Wild Eagle comes down with appendicitis and O'Rourke--helped by Jane as his nurse and Miss P. reading aloud from a medical text--must turn surgeon to save his red partner. All these episodes work as both humor and suspense, and it's a pity the series didn't last longer, because there might have been more of the same kind later on.
