I had to google it.

But I really like it, I'm guessing a backwater starbase...that nobody covets?

Thanks Finn.

It didn't occur to me the Phil Silvers Show would be obscure, it seemed to be on everyday when I was growing up and it did spawn a Steve Martin "Sgt Bilko" movie, as awful as that was.


My entry's based on the show's cartoon intro/title:

Yes really obscure.

I've never heard of the show before either, but you've made a cute take on it.

If you've ever watched the "Top Cat" cartoon by Hanna Barbara, his scheming personality and voice were based upon Phil Silver's "Bilko" caharacter.

 

[Finn]

No...never heard of that one either
