The Phil Silvers Show 4.20

The Colonel's Promotion

Colonel Hall is thinking of retiring after getting passed over for promotion. Sergeant Bilko talks him into giving the Pentagon a piece of his mind. The Colonel tries to get General Wakefield, an old friend, on the phone but when that doesn't work he heads to Washington to talk to General Wakefield in person.

The chaplain talks Bilko into going to Washington and working some of his magic to help Colonel Hall. Bilko does just that. He gets the colonel onto the golf course with the President, which in turn gets him a meeting with General Wakefield.

Thoughts

Colonel Hall was not seen in the last three episodes. Most of the regular supporting cast members (the soldiers in Bilko's platoon) were not in this episode.

This was an okay episode. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't great.
