...and, in fact, Fred WAS replaced after the 1952-'53 season (he made the mistake of asking George for more money, and Burns simply didn't want to pay him more than HE was getting) by "Harry Morton No. 4", Larry Keating.
That wasn't a coincidence, 'jhecht'- at 16:33, George and his writers were subtly pointing out the fact that there HAD been a "previous" Harry Morton [Hal March portrayed him during the first three months of the live version of the series in 1950, then left to appear on other shows; he returned in "guest appearances" over the next two years, though]. After John Brown's six-month "hitch" as Harry, Fred Clark replaced HIM in the summer of 1951...
Interesting when Blanche tells Harry he can be replaced, in front of the 1st Harry Morton, Hal March, who's playing the man from the matrimonial bureau
