Excerpts from an episode entitled "Birthday Boy". Made in 1963. Sadly this show only lasted one season. Phil played Harry Grafton, a foreman at Osborne Industries.

Excellent show
-
Just does not seem ANYWHERE as funny as Bilko tho. Mind i dont suppose anything ever was and ever will be, esp the Nat Hiken scripted episodes. Pure class
-
I was a little kid in third grade when this was on. I watched every episode. I know I saw this one--it was familiar. I liked the show. However, i was a little kid so what did I know? He definitely had me, though.

I agree, narra58! I love the theme music and also the ending version!

Silvers wrote in his autobiography that audiences that liked Sgt. Bilko's antics disapproved of Harry Grafton's: people wrote in saying that Harry was risking getting his coworkers fired and taking money from the company,etc. They changed the character to make him a family man, but it was too late.

Honesty is the enemy of greed. Ha ha.

This is from the third episode of the series, originally telecast on October 12, 1963. Even though Herbie Faye, who played "Cpl. Fender" on "THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW", was a key member of his new cast, Phil was not able to repeat the success of his first series, even though he owned this {through his "Gladasya" production company} and had the production crew from "DOBIE GILLIS" working on it, and a powerful sponsor like General Foods sustaining the show on CBS...only 30 episodes were filmed.
