Synopsis

Product Description
Jack Benny's boisterous bandleader and the former queen of the Fox musicals gave radio a sharp kick in its collective clichés with a comedy that took all the conventions of the family sitcom and turned them sideways, getting longer and louder laughs than just about any other contemporaneous program. Phil Harris a curly-haired, pearly-toothed darling of the swank West Coast nightspots, had just the slightest bit of self-parody in his manner, and just the right edge of charming braggadocio to be funny without being offensive. Wife Alice, and their precocious little girls, could be just as sharp-tongued and sarcastic as Phil himself! The delightful delinquents that round out the cast are played by Elliot Lewis, Walter Tetley, Jeanine Roose, Anne Whitfield, Robert North, and John Hubbard. Includes 20 digitally restored and remastered episodes, many of which are available for the first time anywhere - plus, a Program Guide by Elizabeth McLeod.
