James B. Allardice

James B. Allardice (March 20, 1919 (Canton, Ohio) — 15 February, 1966) was a prominent American television comedy writer of the 1950s and 1960s.

Allardice is best known for his collaborations with writing partner Tom Adair on a number of highly successful American 1960s TV sitcoms including "The Munsters", "F Troop", "My Three Sons", "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and "Hogan's Heroes". Allardice won an Emmy in 1955 for best comedy writing for his work on the "George Global Show." Allardice also made many contributions to the series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", and he wrote Hitchcock's 'lead-ins' for all of the 359 episodes of the series, as well as many speeches for Hitchcock's public engagements.

The hugely successful partnership between Adair and Allardice ended with Allardice's untimely death in 1966 from a heart attack, aged only 46.
