Say "good show" Gracie,
By A Customer
This review is from: , , Discontinued, , (VHS Tape)
I loved both episodes on this tape. And unlike the versions Nick at Nite played when they played the classics these have the scripted in commercials still intact. It seems so strange to think that is how commercials used to be a part of the content of the show.

Muddy sound mars this collection,

This review is from: The Burns & Allen Show: Collector's Edition (DVD)
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. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful

An Overlooked Gem of Early TV,
By D. Allen "meeko_2003" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: , , Discontinued, , (VHS Tape)
One of television's greatest comedy teams, George Burns and Gracie Allen, take center stage in this video showcasing two episodes from their show's first season. Gracie is genius as her ditzy and naive alter-ego. Her oblivious nature makes her not only funny, but extremely likable as well. George Burns plays a great straight man for her zany schemes, as well as delivering witty monologues between scenes. Bea Benaderet (who would latter portray Cousin Pearl on "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Betty Rubble on "The Flintstones") also puts in a great performance as Blanch Morton, Gracie's best friend and neighbor. Each episode of the tape not only showcases the actor's talent, but also the show's great irreverence, with George always breaking the "fourth wall" and popping in and out of scenes unnoticed by the characters performing in them. I would defiantly recommend these shows to anyone looking for some real comedy.
