The Phil Silvers Show 2.22

Son of Bilko

Sgt Bilko starts to regret not having any children after he runs into an old flame and meets her two teenage children. Ernie returns to Fort Baxter and promptly "adopts" Private Perkins, a newcomer to his platoon. Perkins delights in playing practical jokes on everyone including, eventually, his adoptive father.

Thoughts

Colonel Hall is not in this episode.

I get what they were going for here but this one lacked punch. It was clearly supposed to be funny but most of the humor felt forced and unearned.
