The Phil Silvers Show 1.10

The Centennial

Lt. Parker, the new Special Services officer is tricked into trying to put on a pageant celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fort Baxter. Sgt Bilko puts together the pageant which reveals nothing but bad things about the officers that ran the base in the mid to late 19th century.

This wasn't so great an episode. I could see what they were attempting to do but I don't think it worked or at the very least didn't age well. I think part of my problem with it is that Bilko and company barely seem to break a sweat. I like it better when it feels like there are some real stakes.
