Charles Anthony and Mark Scott's second WTYF script is mostly significant for Ralph getting the most memorable lines, including I believe the first time Jack Burns does his "Huh, yeah, huh, yeah" routine on the show.  (It goes back to his comedy routines with Avery Schreiber I believe.)  Whether Ralph accompanies Harry to the police station to "finger a colored guy," even though Harry has described the mugger as having sandy hair, or he gives Harry tough law & order advice in church, in between belting out the chorus of a hymn about peace, he's a real scene-stealer here.  Even Alice calling her father a fascist can't compete.  Note that Harry is 47, which is consistent with him being 15 in 1940.  However, as Vernon Dursley could tell them, there's no post on Sunday.

John Stephenson and Lennie Weinrib both return to do voices, while Frank Maxwell makes his first of two cameos.
