The Phil Silvers Show 1.22

Dinner at Sowici's

Sgt Bilko gets nervous that Sgt Hogan, whom he has been dating for a year, is interested in getting married. He does what he can to convince her that it would be a bad idea for them to get married.

Bilko takes her for dinner at Sgt Sociwi's home after he sees how much Sowici argues with his wife. Things don't go exactly as Bilko had planned.

Thoughts

MSgt Sowici is played by Harry Clark. He appeared in most of the first season episodes of the show. He died 28 Feb 1956, two weeks after this episode aired for the first time. 

Stanley Sowici, Jr. is played by Darryl Richard. He appeared in two more episodes of the show playing different characters.

This is MSgt Joan Hogan's third appearance on the show. I don't recall any indication that she and Bilko were dating in her two prior appearances.

This one was okay but it also felt forced in places. I wanted to like it more than I did. I tired quickly of the old trope that men don't want to get married.
