A campaign to implore CBS to release the remaining three seasons of The Phil Silvers Show onto DVD for worldwide release.
The Phil Silvers Show, originally titled You'll Never Get Rich ran on the CBS Television Network from 1955-1959, over four seasons and 143 episodes.
It was first screened by the BBC in 1957, and had featured regularly in their schedules until 2004. It is without exception the only black and white comedy series from the 1950's to have truly stood the test of time.
During it's original run the show riding high on a sea of critical and public acclaim scooped 8 Emmy awards.
Phil Silvers was a self-confessed Anglophile and adored the admiration the British public bestowed upon him.
In an era when TV shunned using black actors Phil insisted his platoon should have a mixture of multicultural faces.
The creator Nat Hiken and his writing team (including Neil Simon) have been cited as the main influence of latter-day classics Seinfeld and Frasier.
US enlistees trebled during the first run of the show. Bilko represented such fun.
In 2003 Radio Times voted The Phil Silvers Show as 'the greatest situation comedy of all time' beating Fawlty Towers, Seinfeld and Frasier.
In a recent poll Sgt Bilko was voted 4th most likely candidate for the US Presidency!
Although almost forgotten in his home country Phil Silvers is still revered as a comedy god in the UK.
These are just a few reasons why we believe The Phil Silvers Show deserves to be back on our television screens.
3. Get the Jonas Brothers On Dr. Phil to Talk About Being a Good Influence 
If you know who the Jonas Brothers are you know that they are good influences and show that music doesn't have to focus on inappropriate lyrics to be enjoyable.
Dr. Phil is a talk show where Dr. Phil himself sits down and talks to families, people who are in need of help, or other individuals who are genuinely amazing people in the world. The Jonas Brothers are the start of the new trend focusing on being gentlemen and good christians.
They're previous CD was 100% recycable and every single one of those songs on the CD were appropriate for anybody to listen to. Music on the radio and television shouldn't consist of lyrics that are about drugs, alcohol, and treating women horribly. They should have a message, like the Jonas Brothers lyrics do.
Dr. Phil is an amazing individual whom would definitely agree with this statement. So in this petition, I am proposing that the Jonas Brothers appear on Dr. Phil, to talk about being the amazing role models that they are.
