Bilko "Phil Silvers Show" Joe E. Ross pt 1
The Nat Hiken classic series starring Phil Silvers, Allan Melvin and Joe E. Ross. Producer Hiken later spun off the Joe E. Ross and Beatrice Pons who played his wife on his Car 54 series. Allan Melvin later went on to to voice the cartoon character Magilla Gorilla and was also a regular on Archie Bunkers place and the Brady Bunch
50s US sit-com never translated to the UK except for this one and it went on being repeated for 40 years.
I loved Bilko as a child, teenager and an as an adult. Silvers is a sit-com pioneer and still one of the best. Just watch how today's greatest sit-com genius Larry David can't resit channelling Bilko.

Arguably the most successful television show of the 1950's. The Phil Silvers Show was originally called YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH. And what made it special? The LAUGHS seeing Sgt. Bilko pulling off his latest scheme! The show inspired others like F TROOP and HOGAN'S HEROES in the 1960's.Thanks BUSTERTV1 for posting!

Great show, Ross Added a lot to this show, and Of course Car 54 wouldn't have been the same show without him.
