The Phil Silvers Show 2.17

Love That Guardhouse

MSgt Ritzik wins over $1500 dollars playing roulette in Las Vegas. He returns to Fort Baxter eager to use most of the money he won to play cards with MSgt Bilko.

Thoughts

Tom Poston played the Guard House Lieutenant. This is the second of two appearances that he made on the show. He previous appearance was in 2.05 (The Face on the Recruiting Poster).

Frederick O'Neal played MSgt Harry Berch in this episode. This is the first of two appearances he made on the show. He plays the same character in both episodes. He also had a recurring role on Car 54 Where Are You? which starred Joe E. Ross who played Msgt Ritzik.

This is not a very good episode. it all hinges on the fact that Ritzik wants to gamble with Bilko even though he is awful at it. He just doesn't seem to learn. There is no real explanation given as to why he acts this way.

There are a couple jokes in this episodes that made me laugh but there wasn't enough to this story to satisfy me.
