F-Troop reunion

Warning: Spoilers
Wow, re-watching all these Grizzly Adams shows I'd watched as a 12/13 yr. old boy back in 1977. The show is still good. The music is absolutely horrid. The opening & closing theme make you wanna jump off the mountain but the show itself stands up. Nature, animals, etc. Dan Haggerty is perfectly cast and Denver Pyle plays his usual part. The joy of this episode is the return of Forrest Tucker AND Larry Storch of F-Troop fame. Paired together again 10 years after F-Troop and the gang from Fort Courage went off the air. They play well together of course and you keep waiting for Storch to scrunch up his face at Tucker and whine CMON SARGE! The episode is pretty good, the two bumbling visitors looking for gold. I loved F-Troop as a kid, so this was a treat seeing these 2 together again.
