Yet Bilko is ignored in America.
Odd.
I Love Lucy ran on American tv for nearly 50 years; Bilko was in syndication for only a few years. I saw Bilko in rerun as a child. I don’t understand why it wasn’t popular in syndication. It was a huge success in its initial run.
I now belong to a British Bilko appreciation club where the talk is Bilko all day long. Luckily, it is all coming out on dvds.
I also recommend “Car 54, Where Are You?” which was created by the Bilko team. Absolutely hilarious show.
