Roll Out is an American sitcom that aired Friday evenings on CBS during the 1973–1974 television season. The series was headlined by night-club comedian Stu Gilliam (who was branching out into a television career) and Hilly Hicks; co-starring Mel Stewart, Val Bisoglio, and Ed Begley Jr.; with recurring appearances by Penny Santon, Garrett Morris, Teddy Wilson, Darrow Igus, and Rod Gist. The series was set in France during World War II and was loosely based on the 1952 film Red Ball Express.
