Phil Harris and Dennis Day rode the popularity of Jack Benny on their own programs on NBC. In fact, for the first two years of its run, Harris' show immediately followed Benny's.
The Origins of Superstition sometimes also known as Superstition On The Air is a series of short stories designed to show the origins of many of the more popular superstitions. Superstitions we often laugh about until something, possibly a coincidence or possibly some twist or quirk of fate sets us to wondering if after all there might be some hidden unseen hand that controls our destiny. So that you will know how your pet superstition originated, when, why and where The Origins of Superstitions have made accurate research and assure you that the incidents portrayed in the sketches are merely the dramatization of the stories uncovered by that research. They state that in every case nothing has been added or subtracted. Nor has anything been taken for granted though it has been deemed discreet to use fictitious names for the characters every other detail of the story is true. The research has taken them to many lands over a period of greatly buried dates and through these vivid playlets they have made it possible for you to accompany them.
