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. September 26, 2008

Although I'm only 17 I enjoyed watching the 8 episodes of "Burns & Allen" on this DVD. Picture quality is very good for a live TV series from the 50's, and most episodes contain original commercials for Carnation Milk, which are almost as entertaining as the show itself. Overall I'd recommend this to those looking for an alternative to the so-called "comedy" on network TV lately. August 22, 2008

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.
