The pioneering television sitcom Burns & Allen Show ran for 8 years on CBS (1950-1958) and aired 291 episodes. This collection features 125 episodes. I have no idea how many are lost or available, but I did take the time to identify all of these. Officially, they didn't use episode titles until 1957. George Burns lived to be 100 and enjoyed great popularity to the end, but his wife Gracie was the true star of this show. Gracie was a brilliant, all-around comedienne.
