BATMAN and F TROOP aired back to back on Thursday nights during 1966-67, and F TROOP had a cheeky BATMAN reference in the "Bye, Bye, Balloon" episode that aired about a month prior to this Egghead/Horton BATMAN installment.<br /><br />Roaring Chicken was originally going to be the secondary Hekawi role on F TROOP to Chief Wild Eagle; the character appeared in six of the first 11 episodes, but left to do the revival of CAROUSEL, paving the way for Don Diamond's Crazy Cat to become Wild Eagle's chief foil (a lucky break, IMO, for Crazy Cat was funnier). J. Pat O'Malley stepped in for two episodes as an unnamed Medicine Man, and would have been a decent choice for this list as well. :)Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-19555290285455783992018-11-20T08:58:38.957-08:002018-11-20T08:58:38.957-08:00It's very much worth noting that Burt Reynolds...It's very much worth noting that Burt Reynolds, God rest his soul, was one-fourth Cherokee in real life.<br /><br />Mr. Hofstede, have you seen the 1968 movie "White Comanche"? In that flick, Shatner played twin brothers who were half Caucasian and half Native American. It's my understanding that the Shatmeister hammed it up big time in "White Comanche."Christopher Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477722106362926482noreply@blogger.com
