I think Sergeant Bilko was before my time. Wasn't he always trying to "bilk" people out of their belongings and avoid working? Anyway, I'm not sure what Bilko Logic is.
Oh, Cro, now you're really delving back into the dim distant past ! My father would never let us watch anything American on TV, so we'd have to watch when he wasn't around. We heard about Bilko but not sure if we ever managed to watch the show.
I have never seen Bilko on our tv so I do not know any of the scenes, but the above picture makes me smile. Laughter is a good medicine. Greetings Maria x
Loved ' The Phil Silver's Show ' and all that went on at Fort Baxter. I remember Doberman and the poor, suffering Colonel Hall ...... we loved it in our family. ..... and Topcat was brilliant ..... although it was for children there were so many adult references !!! XXXX
Doberman was my favourite. I loved it and watching it was one of my best childhood memories with my brother who yesterday had a stroke so all of this has made me a mixture of happy and sad today.
Reminds me of my father. We got our first television in 1955 and I can well remember him laughing loudly as he watched. Now that I am reading his letters to my mother during the war, which were full of shenanigans and anecdotes of what he got up to, I have a greater understanding of why he loved that show!
I'm sure the army was like that. My father was commissioned into the army quite late into the war as an Army Accountant; he discovered all sorts of scams.

Oh My Goodness, I remember watching Sargent Bilko.
cheers, parsnip
He always had some scheme going; usually based on some crazy but logical idea.
Even the above picture makes me laugh.

Took me a while to work out Top Cat was Bilko! x

I can't remember much of the show, but I do remember that I thought it was funny.
My people didn't have TV until quite late, so I suppose I must have seen him on re-plays.
I seem to remember that all the Top Cat characters were based on Bilko and friends.
There are probably some shows on YouTube, but it may not seem so funny these days.
I loved it.
I didn't know that!

I suppose Col' Hall was Officer Dibble.
Bilko is excellent.
He's one of my heroes.

Oh dear... I hope things go well for him. x
Pure comic genius; much preferred it to things like Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, and the Three Stooges.
Bilko!! You brought a 1950s smile to my face.
Thank you so much for propelling me back to lots of childhood laughter. Viva Bilko!

Yes, me too.
Good.
Viva Bilko indeed.

Wish I could be the same!!
Try the emotion once in a while...i'll blow your mind
I live with someone who's probably like you.
No, I'm happy as I am.
