	Sgt. Bilko: The Phil Silvers Show 50th Anniversary Edition \| The A.V. Club
		Phil Silvers is one of those dead comedians who seems familiar, because his chuckly voice and pushy mannerisms continue to be imitated by comics, impressionists, and cartoon characters alike.
		Bilko: The Phil Silvers Show 50th Anniversary Edition is a 20-episode, cross-season sampler, designed to satisfy fans and neophytes alike, and to highlight guest stars like Fred Gwynne, Dick Van Dyke, and Alan Alda, all early in their TV careers.
		His character was a leader of a kind, showing a bunch of World War II veterans stuck in an "almost forgotten outpost" in Kansas that it was still possible to see action, if only in the form of all-night gin-rummy tournaments.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Phil Silvers Show
		Phil Silvers had been around for years as the perennial 'second banana' - first in burlesque and vaudeville and then on Broadway and in the movies - when, after bringing the house down as MC of a CBS dinner in 1954, the network invited him to star in his own television comedy show.
		Silvers was the quintessential New York Jewish comedian, and the show - written and filmed in Manhattan - was blessed with all of the sharpness that typifies these twin centres of humour.
		Phil Silvers and Maurice Gosfield appeared together, in character, in a specially recorded greeting to the BBC, screened by the channel on the 21st anniversary of the launch of British television, 2 November 1957, during a programme titled The World Our Stage.

	Silvers, Phil
		Phil Silvers was one of the great stars for CBS television during the late 1950s.
		The show was a send up of Army life (or of any existence within any confined and rigid society) and loved by ex-GIs of World War II and the Korean conflict, a generation still close to its own military experiences, and willing to laugh at them.
		A year later the show was off the schedule, and since then has functioned as staple in syndication around the world.

		Silvers sings the car's praises in a "1959 Pontiac Commercial" (:42) that preceded one of his specials.
		Silvers is obviously in ill-health (he looks close to falling asleep at times) and is often unfocused, but he does tell a few interesting stories, including the origin of Joe E. Ross' "Oooo, Oooo." ad-lib.

	THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW aka BILKO \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		If ever a person was born to play a role then Phil Silvers was that man -and that role was of the fast talking, quick thinking, ever scheming Master Sergeant Ernest Bilko - one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time, and arguably the template for every comedic wheeler dealer that folowed.
		Silver's, without missing a beat, turns to the judge and says; "just a moment sir, I think he's calling for another lawyer" in the process not only bringing the house down but holding the whole scene together.
		Although the show finished in 1959 it can still be seen today on television channels around the world as it continues to entertain generation after generation in endless re-runs, proving that good comedy...really good comedy, allied to the perfect actor for the perfect character, is ageless, enduring and all too rare.

	Sergeant Bilko - 50th Anniversary Edition (The Phil Silvers Show) \| PopMatters Television Review
		Phil Silvers had been around for years before Bilko, in burlesque and vaudeville, on Broadway and in the movies.
		The conventional wisdom is that the show began to deteriorate from the moment he left, and Paramount seems to concur.
		Phil Silvers saw further success both in the movies and TV, but nothing, not even The New Phil Silvers Show, a flawed attempt to recreate the Bilko magic in Civvy Street, could bring back the glory days.
