Description:

Husband and wife team George Burns and Gracie Allen kept America laughing through much of the 1950s. Now a new generation can discover their wonderful program, The Burns and Allen Show, in this first volume of the three-volume set. Meet George and Gracie contains two episodes. The first is "Columbia Doing Burns and Allen Story," in which Columbia Pictures decides to make a movie on the life story of the couple (a tremendous disappoint to Gracie; she prefers Paramount because they put more butter in their popcorn). Things go awry when Gracie thinks that George has a wife and four sons living in San Diego. "Gracie Doing a Picture Without George" continues the performance theme when Gracie finds on old telegram asking George to do a Broadway show without his partner. Not realizing it's 30 years old, Gracie tries to force George to leave in one of the most ridiculously funny scenes ever presented on television. Burns and Allen is a show that defies explanation; one must watch it to truly appreciate Burns's subtle routine and Allen's outrageous performances. As an interesting bonus, the original show sponsorships are left on the video, giving us a glimpse of the advertising world of the 1950s. --Jenny Brown

5George and Gracie...What a duo  Sep 08, 2000
This video will have you rolling in the aisles as Gracie stumps George and the neighbors with her opinions on everything from plumbers to how to choose a production company based on how much butter they put on their popcorn. And of course, there are the misunderstandings that are classic Gracie Allen.

This is a two episode video and includes: "Columbia Doing Burns and Allen Story" and "Gracie Doing a Picture Without George."

You'll laugh your bobby socks off at this video. I highly recommend it for a lot of good old fashioned laughs.
