* UncertainAudience: It's a sitcom taking place during the waning months of the Civil War as bumbling Union soldiers fight off equally bumbling Native Americans with… just about ALL the racism. This came out around the time where both Western shows and more outlandish sitcoms were petering out. So who exactly it was trying to appeal to was very unclear.
* ValuesDissonance: Needless to say, a show involving actors pretending to be Native Americans by wearing makeup and perpetuating all kinds of cultural and racial stereotypes would ''never'' be made today.
