Brand new set -- still sealed in plastic. The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, which premiered on October 12, 1950, was one of the first comedy series to make the successful transition from radio to television. Similar to the format of the radio program in which George Burns and Gracie Allen played themselves, the CBS domestic comedy was set in their home, the first television series to depict the home life of a working show business couple. Each episode began with Burns standing, trademark cigar in hand, before the proscenium surrounding their living room set. There he presented a brief monologue, then offered the audience a few comments regarding the situation they were about to see. Episodes ended with a Burns and Allen dialog reminiscent of their vaudeville routines. At the conclusion, of every episode Burns would turn to Allen and close, "Say goodnight, Gracie," to which Allen would obligingly turn to their audience and fondly bid them "goodnight." 4 Episodes: The Klebob Card Game, Beverly Hills Uplift Society, teenage Girl Spends A Weekend, Space Patrol Girls Total running time: 110 minutes (1 hour, 50 minutes) CAST: George Burns....................................................Himself Gracie Allen.......................................................Herself Blanche Morton...........................................Bea Benaderet Harry Morton (1950-1951)................................Hal March Harry Morton (1951)......................................John Brown Harry Morton (1951-1953)...............................Fred Clark Harry Morton (1953-1958)...........................Larry Keating Bill Goodwin (1950-1951).....................................Himself Harry Von Zell (1951-1958)..................................Himself Mr. Beasley, Mailman...................................Rolfe Sedan Ronnie Burns (1955-1958)...................................Himself Bonnie Sue McAfee (1957-1958)..................Judi Meredith
