THe Phil Silvers Show could be looked upon as a forerunner of comedy shows with a theme of a bunch of rebellious/and or con men servicemen getting the best out of everyone else and/or rebelling against authority:

message: Would it be possible for someone to create an episode list for this programme or is that a bit of a tall order being as there are over 143 of the damn things? If not could someone please simply expand as the information on the entire show is quite thin on the ground... Matt Zero (talk) 12:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I seem to remember a very old looking Phil Silvers appearing in an episode of happy days, basically playing Bilko. Can anyone corroborate  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.121.120 (talk) 11:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

message: It seems odd that - given the fact it is mentioned in many, many episodes - at no point does the article mention that Bilko is in charge of the Motor Pool. Is there a reason for this? Jock123 (talk) 20:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We see the motor pool so infrequently in the shows that it’s kind of irrelevant. His platoon don’t even get grease on their fatigues. And there’s an episode where Bilko volunteers for an extra duty only because it includes an official jeep for his personal use. Bilko couldn’t wangle a free jeep from his own motor pool? Say what? 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:B46D:A792:3797:413D (talk) 08:01, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Sgt. Bilko's decorations appear to include the Bronze Star, Commendation Medal, Good Conduct Medals, some Philippine decorations, etc.  Is there a back story to his exploits in the Pacific during WWII?  50.202.81.2 (talk) 06:18, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: see thephilsilversshow.com. My guess is that he bought or traded or faked the paperwork for many of them. Bilko is a staff man, not a line man. But really, it’s just a Hollywood way of signifying that Bilko has had a long career in the miller terry and therefore knows every gimmick. 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:B46D:A792:3797:413D (talk) 07:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
