Another TV icon is dead. Ken Berry, best known as Parmenter on "F Troop," has died at age 85.
He played the rather inept military officer on this sitcom throughout its tw0-year run on ABC from 1965-67. He also guested on many other classic TV shows, including "The Brady Bunch," in which he starred in a backdoor pilot episode in which a couple adopts three boys. This would have been a spinoff had it been greenlit at the time, but the premise didn't make it to the air until the 1980's. He also landed a leading role on "Mama's Family," a popular spinoff of "The Carol Burnett Show."
RIP, Mr. Berry. :(
