Once upon a time - not that long ago, really - the Brits voted a 1950s comedy series as their favorite American sitcom - - -

The show was listed as Sgt Bilko, or even Bilko, in the Radio Times and elsewhere during the 70s and 80s, when it enjoyed a huge resurgence in popularity in the UK. Back then, it became a reliably funny late-night fixture, usually the last thing on BBC1 before closedown. ( The Guardian Jan 21, 2016)

I remember it being listed (early 60s probably) as "The Phil Silvers Show"

It was in Canada, too. Also in some markets as You'll Never Get Rich (original title).
