The Phil Silvers Show


The Phil Silvers Show


Classic military comedy set on the fictional Army base of Fort Baxter in Kansas and starred Phil Silvers as Sgt. Ernest Bilko, a fast-talking sharpster who would do anything to make an extra buck. Paul Ford co-starred as Colonel Hall, Bilko's harried commanding officer who often found himself stuck in the middle of Bilko's schemes.

This is a show that I never cared for. I guess the reason why is the fact every member of the cast is between the ages of 40-58. There is no way the Navy would have recruited or accept enlistment for anyone that old, be it war or peace time. The comedy in the program was fine. The cast consisted of a number of great comic actors. Still in comparison, I prefer Hogan's Heroes to The Phil Sivers Show, aka Sgt. Bilko. Read more
