Audition Show

From July 10, 1946.  The first episode of the Phil Harris-Alice Faye show.

Episodes from the 1st and 2nd season are very rare; the remainder of the series is mostly complete. The first two seasons are outshone by the rest of the series once the show takes a different direction at the start of the 3rd season. Characters like Sissy the maid and the gardener disappear at the start of the 3rd season also, and new characters are brought in to better compliment the show's style.
