I don't know if it is so-called "Political Correctness" that is keeping F Troop off the air. It got a lot of play on Nick in the 90s, and as noted here has been running on ME. While it does present without much comment the killing of Indians by US soldiers as a matter of course, the show is not so much racist as very broad. Get Smart and Hogan's Heroes stand up better over time, but even those frequently, and most of the rest of that kind of humor, which at the time was kind of hip, or at least insider, comes across now as corny. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
