The one hundred and eighty-eighth TV show: #28 The Phil Silvers Show
It's clear that over the years, sitcoms have moved on in how they present themselves. Golden Girls was good, but a bit staid for now, and it's taken the likes of Seinfeld to take away the morale at the end that older shows often seem to rely on. The Phil Silvers show is at the very end, where Phil Silvers' Sergeant Bilko has to come out well enough at the end and the comedy moves slow in places. There are a few good bits, with Phil Silvers going off to do his thing working best, but just as often it gets stuck and it ends up shining for about five minutes in a twenty five minute episode. These days it'd be condensed, but here I do feel like I'm missing for a chunk of the run.
