Songwriter Tom Adair worked with James B. Allardice in the early 1960s. They first met while working on The Ann Sothern Show (1958); he wrote the music while Allardice was a writer on the show. Adair also wrote the music and Allardine wrote scripts for Hazel (1961); however, they also collaborated in the writing on two episodes of the series: "A Replacement For Phoebe" (which aired on 10/2/61) and "Harold's Good Fortune" (which aired on 11/30/61). Later the two collaborated on many other shows, including My Three Sons (1960), F Troop (1965), I Dream of Jeannie (1965) and Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964).
