The Phil Silvers Show 1.12

The Singing Contest

Sgt. Bilko convinces the platoon that they should enter a singing contest. It is freezing at Fort Baxter, where they are stationed, and first prize is a trip to the Miami, FL. They practice singing but they aren't very good. Bilko bets the platoon's welfare fund against his platoon but then they discover that there's a new soldier in the platoon who has a beautiful voice. Bilko is in a bit of a bind and does what he can to make them lose without telling them that he bet against them.

Thoughts

I think that this is one of the funniest episodes to date. I love how Bilko gets pulled first one way and then another. It got me laughing on several occasions.
