The Phil Silvers Show 4.26

Guinea Pig Bilko

Colonel Hall is looking for a new way to restrain Bilko when he learns that the army wants to test a treatment for over active soldiers on some of the men at Camp Fremont. Colonel Hall tricks Bilko into becoming one of the test subjects for the new treatment. Bilko is given a new drug that makes him much more passive. Colonel Hall loves it until he discovers that the men in Bilko's platoon are worse than him and out of control without Bilko to keep them on a short leash.

Thoughts

This was a fun one. I enjoyed it very much. It wasn't the very best episode I have seen but it is better than the average episode of this show.

Notes

Dan Frazer played the part of Major Wallace in this episode. This is the eighth of eight episode of this show in which he appeared. He played a different character in every one of the eight episodes. See my notes about 2.19 Bilko Goes to Monte Carlo for a little more about his appearances on other shows.
