The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show was a popular half-hour CBS television series broadcast from 1950 to 1958.
Burns and Allen, vaudevillians in the 1920s, and radio stars in the 1930-40s, received Emmy Award nominations for their TV comedy series throughout its eight-year run.
After Gracie Allen, tired and troubled by a heart condition, retired in 1958, George Burns tried to continue the show with the remaining cast, but lasted only one year.
