The Phil Silvers Show 2.34

The Colonel Breaks Par

Bilko planned all sort of festivities while Colonel Hall is away on his annual vacation. Bilko's plans almost have to be abandoned when Colonel Hall announces that he isn't going on vacation. Bilko comes up with a new plan to convince Colonel Hall that he should enter the Army's golf tournament, despite not being a very good golfer. Bilko fools Colonel Hall (with some help from professional golfer Sam Snead) into thinking that he is a better golfer than he actually is.

Everything seems back on track but then Bilko starts to have second thoughts about what he did.

Thoughts

This was a fun episode. I appreciate the fact that they worked a celebrity (Sam Snead) into the episode without making it all about him. I also like how Bilko gets the tables turned on him, not once but twice. My only complaint is that the episode seems to end very abruptly.
