This is a 16 DVD collection of some of Burns and Allen’s most hilarious episodes. The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show was one of the first comedies to make the successful transition from radio to television. Burns left most of the laughs to Allen, who had a way of engaging in conversation of “illogical logic” that left her friends and associates dazed and confused and the audiences in stitches. Gracie pulls one stunt after another, while George steps out of the scene to narrate. Great family fun! This 2 album 16 DVD collection contains over 30 hours of wonderful classic television. Many of the shows include the original commercials. Available from The Nostalgia Merchant.
When The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, aka The Burns and Allen Show, began on CBS television October 12, 1950, it was an immediate success. The show was originally live before a studio audience. Ever the businessman, Burns realized it would be more efficient to do the series on film; the half-hour episodes could then be syndicated. With 291 episodes, the show had a long network run through 1958 and continued in syndicated reruns for years.
