JOEY BISHOP SHOW, THE - Testimonial For Sergeant Murdock

Air Date/Released Tuesday, February 16, 1965
Station/Studio CBS / Danny Thomas Enterprises
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Joey Barnes hosts a CBS Sunday night variety show from New York. Episodes revolve around his professional and personal life, with celebrities appearing as themselves. At home are Joey's beautiful wife Abby, and maid Hilda. Joe Besser costars as Mr. Jillson, the apartment building superintendent, a high-strung man with a heart of gold. Rounding out the main characters is Larry Corbett, Joey's best friend, head writer and manager.

Joey's and Larry's Army reunion hits a snag when Joey learns he has to deliver a testimonial speech for 'Monster' Murdock, the meanest Sergeant in the service. Murdock is responsible for Joey's reputation of peeling more potatoes than any other soldier in the history of the armed forces... and Joey holds a grudge.
