Yesterday we asked you to name your favorite screen sergeant, with emphasis on sadistic drill instructors and hard-bitten combat vets. This time, it’s NCOs in a more lighthearted vein. What other comical sergeants can you add to the list?


Henry Calvin: Zorro (1957-59) as Sgt. Garcia


Phil Silvers: Phil Silvers Show (1957-59) as Sgt. Bilko


John Banner: Hogan’s Heroes (1965-71) as Sgt. Schultz


Forrest Tucker: F Troop (1965-67) as Sgt. O’Rourke


Frank Sutton: Gomer Pyle, USMC (1965-69) as  Sgt. Carter


Warren Oates: Stripes (1981) as Sgt. Hulka
