What TV show do you remember that you believe no one else does?

Have we covered "F-Troop?" yet?

I am trying to recall if Phil Silvers starred in The Phil Silvers Show, or if it was called Sgt Bilco. He played a conniving Army man in it.

Your Show of Shows (before my time) was Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca.

Patty Duke and Dobie Gillis were both on Nickelodeon (before it spun that part off to become Nick at Nite) in the 80s, so people may be remembering that.

I remember Saturday morning stuff like Wacky Racers.

It was called You'll Never Get Rich. Don't remember it as the Phil Silvers Show. I checked on Google. It was both. Sgt. Bilko was the name of the character but not part of the show title.

As I mentioned in an earlier post. It was the Phil Silvers Show. You'll Never Get Rich was the original show name, but was later changed to the Phil Silvers Show.

Exactly!

As an aside, You'll Never Get Rich was originally a movie from the early 40's. Phil Silvers wasn't in it. It was made into a TV show in 1955 starring Phil Silvers.

Anybody mention the Untouchables yet, or Gangbusters?

I googled and the Jackie Gleason Show was the name of the one I meant. It is not widely known these days, but after his show ended its run, Gleason had a quiz show (forgot the name) which was a total failure. It vanished and a second Jackie Gleason Show took its spot for two months. In the first installment, he took up the entire program speaking with the audience and apologizing for the lousy quiz show. The rest of the episodes were random guests and Gleason conversing.
