The Phil Silvers Show 1.18


Kids in the Trailer.



  • There are some laughs to be had - mostly when Colonel Hall shows up at the end - but overall it’s a lackluster and disjointed half-hour.

  • The story (such as it is) is driven by Bilko’s heart of gold, which is always great to see. But there’s no scheming or plotting to hold the interest beyond that.

  • Doberman losing his pass (twice!) isn’t as funny as the show would want us to believe.

  • A weak episode, with sporadic laughter along the way.
