"With so many collections of the Burns and Allen show on offer, it's difficult to avoid duplication. Here are the episodes on the two discs, as listed on the box (the selection of episodes is good):

DISC ONE
The Property Tax Assessor
The Income Tax Man
Teenage Girl Spends the Weekend
Space Patrol Kids Visit
Free Trip to Hawaii
Gracie's Checking Account

DISC TWO
Harry Morton's Private Secretary
The Beverly Hills Uplift Society
The Kleebob Card Game
Divorce Attorney
Surprise Birthday Party

The visual quality of the shows are all right, but the sound quality leaves much to be desired. However, if you play the discs through a good sound system, adjusting the bass and treble controls will clear it up a bit."

"An old series which brought back some wonderful memories. It was wonderful to watch and listen to the voices again. George Burns and Gracie Allen were excellent together and their brand of comedy; clean, sweet and so honest and innocent on the part of Gracie it just seemed REAL, then and now. Thanks for having it to purchase. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it the "older" generation, like me."
