Phil the Flying Sergeant
Phil is playing the role of a pilot in a show called "The Wild Blue Yonder." He gets so into wearing the uniform that he makes a promise to take the children up in a plane for a ride. During the episode, Phil performs a song titled "Mama's On The Warpath."
The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, was a comedy radio program which ran on NBC from 1948 to 1954 starring Alice Faye and Phil Harris. Harris had previously become known to radio audiences as the band-leader-turned-cast-member of the same name on The Jack Benny Program while Faye had been a frequent guest on programs such as Rudy Vallée's variety shows. After becoming the breakout stars of the music and comedy variety program The Fitch Bandwagon, the show was retooled into a full situation comedy, with Harris and Faye playing fictionalized versions of themselves as a working show business couple raising two daughters in a madcap home.
