The Phil Silvers Show 3.08

Papa Bilko

Worlds collide. Bilko talks Pearly Johnson, a real ladies man, into join his platoon. Bilko, later that same day, gets a visit from a young lady whom he met when he was stationed in France, when she was just a girl.

Thoughts

Colonel Hall is not in this episode. Captain Barker seems to be filling in for the colonel which makes me wonder why the colonel wasn't in this episode. Illness? Contract dispute? I don't know.

Robert Webber played the part of Pearly Johnson. This is his second of two appearances on the show. He played a different character in his first appearance. He has a familiar look to him and has been in a few other things that I have seen but not in starring roles.

This is pretty good. It wasn't hard to see where it might and finally did end up.
