Search - Burns & Allen on DVD

If you've never met the incomparable comedienne Gracie Allen this is a very good chance to do so. Be prepared for silliness at a high level. It is even more interesting when you consider that Gracie Allen was a very astute business woman. George Burns, her husband, gladly was her straight man. These episodes are good examples of early TV.

"Amazon states this DVD is 90 minutes. There are 8 episodes and the length is 226 minutes. Great value for the price."

"I'm too young to have heard them on radio or seen them on TV when their shows originally aired, but I fell in love with this team the moment I first saw the reruns. Gracie is simply marvelous and George is sheer perfection as her straight man. How they didn't crack up during their performances is beyond me. Since Amazon's site lacks an episode list for this DVD, here you go:

1. Dance Lessons
2. Harry Morton's Secretary
3. Gracie's Car Accident
4. Free Trip To Hawaii
5. Beverly Hills Uplift Society
6. Home Wedding
7. Teen Age Space Girls
8. Gracie's Bank Account

In conclusion, if there's an afterlife, I want to meet Gracie Allen!"
