The Phil Silvers Show 3.31

Bilko's Pilot

Bilko makes a pilot for a western TV show for CBS, starring Doberman. Everything goes wrong during the shoot but he delivers the finished product, with all its flaws to CBS anyway.

Thoughts

This is yet another episode that starts off looking like it is headed in one direction only to change course midway through. Originally it looked like this episode was going to be about how Bilko deals with the new man in his platoon, a loud mouthed cowboy named Tex. That plot thread went out the window once executives at CBS get a look at Doberman dressed like a cowboy.

I've seen worse but this wasn't all that good.
