From the cradle of television, from well before most households could afford the appliance in their own living room. The series represents the transition from Vaudeville stage theater to the eventual sit-com format. Kind of funny how we've come full circle regarding sponsorship, with advertising being woven into the plotlines of modern entertainment. I also had no idea that Gracie was the mainstage comedian with George as the straightman. I'd always heard that Lucielle Ball was the first woman to be able to express her comedic abilities on television, but this is far from the truth. There is a semi-literary wit (albeit gentle) in the humor that would disappear from television for about 2 decades. It's not brilliant material, but it's high level entertainment. I only wish there was more material on each disc.

While much of the material is certainly dated,George Burns delivered the laughs for a long time.Sadly,Gracie-who deserves maybe 20 stars (a woman that smart convincing us she was such an airhead and making us love her all the while requires loads of talent) died tragically young.

George Burns always said that he had the easiest job in the world. All he had to do was walk out on stage or in front of a camera and say Gracie, how's your brother? and then stand there and not say a word for the next forty minutes.

Not bad, but they always seemed like a second rate Powell and Loy to me.
