My late Father was a Master Sgt. and in the Army for 17 years.
Every week when Bilko was on everything stopped in our apartment and my Dad would watch every minute until the end.
He said he knew a number of people in the Army who were just like Bilko and he loved the program.
I loved it too even though I was a young child and still love to re-watch it today.

I loved Sargent Bilko. Phil Silver’s was the best

You know what's going to happen every time, and every time it's hilarious. From the great days when we laughed out loud at comedy, instead of just smiling.

Phil Silvers was one of the best shows on TV  there will never be anything close again!

Remember Bilko on Saturday nights in the 70's after Match of The Day on BBC1.

Once a year at the mention of Bilko........ bless 'em.

My childhood, and my father, brilliant comedy, no contest for 😁😊

as a child, I loved this show, and Phil Silvers was the highlight.

I was a young teenager. Dad and I used to watch Bilko and laugh our socks off in the South Wales of the early '60s. And still funny!

Phil Silvers IS Bilko. I never saw a wisecrack delivered by him that didn't make me laugh out loud !! 60+ years old and still as fresh as daisies

I was RAF training in the 1950's.There was nothing like the profusion of tv stuff there is today...one show stood out in the sparse schedules as must-watch on grainy 12 inch b&w sets....the Phil Silvers Show, soon universally Bilko, the antidote to square bashing!

Best one ever bilko is bilkos lucky day brilliant

LOVE THIS. WATCHED IT SO MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS.

Nat Hiken was brilliantly funny. Beautifully cast, the wit and pacing of The Phil Silvers Show and his Car 54, Where are you? are mesmerizing and the very nucleus of laugh out loud. He knew how to write for talent. Impressively, especially for its time, Car 54 actually cast more than one person of color, appearing at the same time, in continuing roles. So sad that Mr. Hiken's health-problems prevented him from producing more comedy masterpieces.

Here in the UK, Bilko in the 1950s was a highlight of our Sunday afternoons after lunch. My Dad in particular loved it, having been in the war 1939 - 45 in the Army. Phil silvers was a master of comedy timing, the supporting characters were brilliant and who could forget the slovenly but equally endearing Doberman?!  This is a superb upload, thank you, I enjoyed every minute.

I remember  bilko sometimes  was on the BBC TV 11pm wee were always allowed to get up and watch the comedy 🤣 lol I was 6 years old 1957 .one of the best the twitcher the whole platoon gambled òn the result ❤❤❤

Sad, Great comics and all are no longer with us...

PHIL SILVERS WAS A COMIC GENIUS!When they made the remake movie of Sgt.Bilko with Steve Martin,I didn't even bother to go see it,as Phil Silvers is so strongly identified with the Sgt.Bilko role,I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role!Paul Ford as Col.Hall was great,too!A true comedy classic  from the early days of television!Gerry Whitehead,Bakesfield,California

100% agree with you Jim. This is still one of the funniest shows ever created and Phil Silvers was a total genius along with so many others from his platoon. Seeing Steve Martin a very talented comedian fail so miserably just emphasises how brilliant the Bilko character and Phil Silvers are. Nat Hikens amazing writing contributed to a once in a lifetime piece of tv gold !

Watched this in  the 1950s in UK and much enjoyed. Later renditions of Sergeant Bilko were nowhere near the original. The plots were 'bonkers'  but Phil Silvers had the 'gift of the gab' , and he was king. ' :loved Doberman , the paunchy  stooge........ Hey c'mon Searge.... and the long suffering Commanding Officer.. Bilko was the champion of  super slick entertainment . RIP.
