#1 Cheap Burns & Allen Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
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!
Best of early television - TaxiDrivin' Daddy - Iowa City
For nearly 40 years, Burns & Allen were stars of vaudeville, radio, TV, and film. Even after Gracie passed away in 1964, George still seemed to keep the spirit of her character alongside as a silent partner to his solo/straight-man routine. Here is one of the few wife-husband partnerships that worked well in public and private. Few comedy shows since have equalled George and Gracie - none have surpassed them. I would have given this dvd set a higher rating but; 1)only 8 of over 200 episodes are here and 2)these shows can actually get old should you watch them every day for a month. But who had time to do that?
