Radio Station B.I.L.K.O.
Bilko and his platoon take over the airwaves when Roseville's only radio station goes off the air. They talk local businesses into paying for advertising and then produce new shows based on the businesses' needs. The most popular show is a soap opera which inadvertently stars Colonel Hall and his wife.
Thoughts
This was fun but not great. It felt a little like the they had three ideas for this episode. First the episode seems to be about getting the radio station up and running, including selling air time to local businesses. The second chunk of this episode is about hiding the radio station from a general who has come to inspect the Fort Baxter. The third and final act is focused on the soap opera that winds up starring the colonel and his wife. I think it would have worked better if they had wove the three parts of the episode together such that there were callbacks to the first two parts in the third one.
