ABOUT THE SHOW:

"At Ease" was a service comedy similar to "The Phil Silvers Show."  Sgt.
Val Valentine and Pvt. Tony Baker front a platoon of conniving GIs at
U.S. Army Camp Tar Creek in Texas.

"At Ease" was produced by Spelling Ventures Organization (S V O).


ABOUT THIS GUIDE:

Episode titles, original run dates, and production numbers come from the
online Library of Congress Information Service (telnet://locis.loc.gov).
I do not assume that the LOCIS information is completely correct (I have
found errors), so you shouldn't either.  I will correct errors as I find
them or as they are pointed out to me.
