How Everyone Met (Last Broadcast)

 From June 28, 1954. Yet another retelling of how Phil and Alice met. This was the last episode of the 8th season, and also ended up being the last episode of the series. RCA did not renew their contract over the summer, and other sponsors had embraced television head-on, so this was to be the end of the Phil Harris-Alice Faye show. By the end of the 1950s, almost every old time radio program had transitioned to television or left the air entirely, with a remaining few that managed to hold on into the early 60s. Alas, they were replaced by an endless wasteland of top 40 pop hits and morning talk shows.
