I can give you another reason from a Warner Bros. TV insider I know from the time. The cavalry footage in the original opening came from the Errol Flynn picture "They Died with Their Boots On." Originally, Warners TV wanted to re-shoot the opening in color using battle scenes from "The Searchers." However, that film was a Warner Bros. release and not a Warners production, and John Ford and C. V. Whitney refused. Then ABC saw the chance for more commercial time.

I saw re-runs of F Troop in 1992 on Sky TV and I hadn't used to like the colour titles as much back then, although I enjoy seeing them now. Although it was quite sad that they scrapped the brilliant theme song, the colour titles are very vivid and I think the change to colour enabled a really good caricatured sequence to be done. It is a shame F Troop only lasted 2 seasons.

In the original network telecasts, the Quaker Oats "Q" logo would appear on screen, with Dick Tufeld saying, "The Quaker Oats Company presents..". The logo would then "morph" into the title. At :29, Tufeld would add, "'F TROOP'! Brought to you by...(whatever Quaker was pitching that week)" .

Going to color meant re-filming the opening video for most shows, and F-Troop obviously chose the cheaper and simpler method of going to an animated version for '66-67. The narration of what the show was about was no longer needed since the storyline was well established. It lasted only 2 seasons but became a huge hit in syndication. The dramatic differences in the season 1 and 2 openings always confused me as a kid (most everyone wanted to see the Black & White opening),

@@joelholmes1260 Warner Bros was under new management in the last 1960's (Seven Arts). The new management felt that the show didn't fit the image that they wanted for Warner Bros. However, not all was lost. After the cancellation of F Troop, one of the cast members did get a job with Warner Bros/Seven Arts as a voiceover artist in their animation department.

That was Dick Tufeld, one of Walt Disney's two "flagship" announcers during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. He's best known, of course, as the announcer for Fox's "Lost in Space," and as the voice of the Robot.

I don't think they could have re-shot the first season opening in color because most of the action shots in that opening were likely stock footage taken from old Warner Brothers movies. Unless they could have found stock footage from old movies that were in color, they couldn't have an opening in color that was cheap enough to justify a live action film opening. Probably they figured "it's just the opening of a show. who cares?", so they went with the drawing.

You may be right, 'rkd'- Quaker Oats was the "primary sponsor", and sustained the series on alternate Thursdays in the 1966-'67 season. Other sponsors, including Ford and Bristol-Myers, had their own version of the opening title with their sponsor I.D's (unfortunately, I don't remember those).

I was only about 5 or so and in kindergarten when the color eps. would air on ABC, but I thought that Ford was one of their sponsors, just like the FBI! Because both were Warner Bros. shows. Also I thought I heard "F Troop! BTYB Ford" in at least a couple of openings.

The latter part was the final reason for going to a teaser scene and the "cheap' opening that angered many fans. (Remember, "Gilligan's Island" kept it's classic opening in over the years.) The additional 30 seconds of commercial time was something of a setup for what has happened to broadcast and cable TV since Reagan's notorious deregulation in 1982: Television has become little more than commercials occasionally interrupted by a program.
