BURNS AND ALLEN

CONTENTS:

     One of the best comedy teams ever on radio, George Burns & Gracie Allen.  They were first heard on radio 06/10/29 over the BBC while they performed in several London theatres.  Starting on 02/22/32 for Robert Burns Panatela Cigars, they continued on radio until the last broadcast of their own radio programs on 05/17/50.  With that broadcast, they had appeared on 1,028 radio programs, 796 broadcasts of their own programs, and 232 guest appearances. This was not the end of the Burns & Allen experience for their fans.  On 10/12/50, they began their television career.  They appeared together for eight seasons totaling 294 episodes.  Gracie Allen then retired and George Burns continued for another 463 television appearances before withdrawing from the media.
