I was just a toddler in California when these shows first came out. All I remember is my older brother and dad watching them religiously, and having the time of their lives. I was too little to understand the humor, but I remember Phil Silvers and the magic everyone felt every time he came on the screen.Now, I'm watching the shows and I finally know what my dad and brother were raving about. What fabulous entertainment! Great writing, wonderful situations, excellent acting by all the cast, and the genius of Phil Silvers are jam-packed into every show. All the right ingredients came together at just the right time in the right place. There was a lot of integrity, sincerity and love put into those shows--a big difference from the assembly-line stuff of today's shows.Sgt. Bilko always knew which strings or tricks to pull to make something happen. We could sure use him now to light a fire under CBS and get them to release Season 2 in a timely manner!
