Best Burns and Allen DVD to purchase,
By Keaton11 (Berkeley Heights, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, Volume 1 (DVD)
I was very happy with this DVD. It is very much worth buying if your a new or old fan or the worlds funniest husband and wife team. I recommend this DVD to any others being offered on Amazon. You get the value of what you spent buying it. Although the menu options are quite poor it doesnt matter b/c the shows themselves are so good. They just don't make shows like these anymore. Many of the other DVD's being offered on the Burns and Allen show on this site are NOT worth purchasing. GET THIS ONE!!!

1950s TV,
This review is from: George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, Volume 1 (DVD)
Seeing Burns and Allen comically collaborate with each other is obviously an enjoyable experience. What is also interesting for those not that familiar with early 1950s TV advertising was the way in which "Carnation Milk" (the show's sponser) was worked into many of the episodes. The show's "announcer", (often it was Harry von Zell) would drop by the house and engage in a 2-minute discussion with the other characters about the benefits of Carnation milk. To modern sensibilities it can often seem jarring, but in some instances the writers manage to work in this commercial plug in an entertaining enough fashion. The DVD features a variety of shows taken from different seasons, so you also get a sense of how the character of Harry Morton (Burns and Allen's next door neighbor) was played by different actors.

A stroll down memory lane & laughing all the way,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, Volume 1 (DVD)
If you are to young to have ever seen Burns & Allen
you can catch up with this zany review of their TV shows. Gracie was a comic genius and plays her straightman George like a fiddle. For the old fans this best of disc will bring back a lot of happy memories.
