The Phil Silvers Show 1.23

Army Memoirs

Colonel Hall takes Bilko's stripes and busts him down to the rank of private. Bilko doesn't miss a beat. He immediately goes to work and gets his revenge on on the sergeants who played a role in his downfall.

Thoughts

There's a framing sequence in this episode which felt totally unnecessary. 

This episode fell a bit short in my book. It traded a little too heavily on Bilko's reputation as a mastermind. I would prefer to see him working his magic. Instead what the episode delivered was a bunch of grown men getting scared of Bilko for no discernable reason.
