I think that Sgt. Bilko is a funny movie; I think dan ak and martin play with each other well although its clearly easy humor and the like. I don't understand the hating on the movie, is it because people want to "protect" their show? I wish my life was half M*A*S*H* half Sgt. Bilko(only the not war parts).

If being annoying is funny, this guy's a genius.

The greatest show I ever seen...

Steve Martin can't play Bilko because the whole premise of that project is wrong. It's *The Phil Silvers Show*. Bilko isn't a character. It's Phil being Phil in a costume - and it could be any costume in any setting. If Steve Martin wants to play a sergeant in a military send up, fine - but don't call it Sgt. Bilko, which was essentially a one man show with supporting players. It'd be like Chris Rock doing a stand up gig but AS Eddie Murphy. If it's not the actual guy, what's the fucking point?

Ah, The Phil Silvers Show AKA Sgt Bilko. I'm British and this show is WELL before my time. However, in my eyes this is the best sitcom ever written and aired, despite being almost forgotten. It simply ticks all the right boxes.
And I speak as a fan of Father Ted, Fawlty Towers, Married with Children, Frasier, Drop the Dead Donkey, One foot in the Grave, Bottom and many more!

@talbrott May have given Billy Joel the idea, too.

Daughter of icon Phil Silvers, Candace Silvers keeps the genius of her father alive through her work with actors, writers and directors. To find out more, visit her website.
Steve Martin should have been horsewhipped for doing Bilko. It was heresy,sacrilege,blasphemy as well as a goddamn cryin' shame. BILKO IS GOD!!! God bless u Phil. I cried when he died.

This was a great show. Silvers as Bilko can't be duplicated as Steve Martin unfortunately shows.
