jan hammer would definitely have re-hashed the phil the shill music for him, as he did with so many other season 2 songs in season 3 eps, and i would have LOVED IT!!!

I think it would have had great potential! He left with the money that couldn't be claimed, He was a free man once again, he was tv preaching with sarah, Stan wants to kill him, IZZy could help set up more cons.....Potential!Eingefügtes BildEingefügtes BildEingefügtes BildEingefügtes Bild

From what I've read, Phil was definitely up for a second go-around, but his schedule wouldn't permit for filming. Too bad, "Phil The Shill" is classic Vice and IMO one of the best of S2.

What a great story, Cooper&Burnett! I never heard of this before! :thumbsup:It would have been great - the return of Phil The Shill! COOP stated it already: Imagine how Stan would react if he'd ever get a chance to meet the sleezeball face to face again. Too bad that they didn't realized Phil's comeback. :cry:

I saw PHIL COLLINS and GENESIS twice in one year. I went to the INVISIBLE TOUCH concert. I knew all the songs, and loved every minute!

I visited two concerts in one year as well, that was in 1982! Great show! Great band! :radio::dance:

I wish he would have actually made a full song of "RAT RACE" with new lyrics. It had great potential, and was a fun song!

Phil The Shill wouldn't have worked in any other season, other than Season 2 imo.His return wouldn't have worked, and was unneccessary. It's good as a stand-alone.

I didn't care too much for Lombards return. It was too far remeoved from season one, and his son was a different actor too which sucked. If Phil came back at the START of season 3, then I can see it, otherwise, I'm with you.

That's interesting.  Considering the ending from "Phil the Shill", he and Sarah could have returned in the plot of Season 4's "Amen... Send Money".
