It is funny, but Ken Berry & Melody Patterson are the feature couple love interest & serious characters on this show. The comedy is carried by Larry Storch & Forrest Tucker plus an assortment of loonier characters. Ken Berry is given some physical comedy to do, but with the second bananas to play off, this show doesn't get off the ground. In fact, Forrest Tucker really steals the series. He is the glue that holds this together. In some ways, this is one of those ABC network products that should have worked better than it did in the 1960's. It only lasted 2 seasons & was never a big success. It did help make Tucker & Storch famous while landing Ken Berry a job on Mayberry RFD after the series was canceled. The 1965 to 1967 time frame was a time a lot of great series were on & it just couldn't make a dent in the ratings. I was young when this was on, & being young, I never felt I could get enough of Melody as she often got lost in the plots or was given little to do. I am not sure how politically correct Native Americans would find this now, as they were portrayed as inept to say the least.
