DVD's appearance on PHIL SILVERS was hysterical... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just watched the disc three episode yesterday of Sargeant Bilko entitled "Hillbilly Whiz," which featured Dick Van Dyke's appearance as a country bumpkin who Bilko tries to turn into a Yankee! "My pappy ain't gonna like me playing for no team called the Yankees!" It also features a commentary by Dick himself. Nevertheless, and as expected, he was brilliant and I saw an instant chemistry between Van Dyke and Silvers from the minute the confused character walked into the artillery range. I think they should've used the character in more episodes and it would've provided MANY MORE laughs; those who saw the episode probably will agree. What do you think?

I never saw that episode, but it sounds like it's worth checking out!
