I wish I could find the old Burns and Allen shows. Gracie Allen was a genius at comedy. No one ever was better at comedy then Gracie Allen.

“The Burns and Allen Show” unfortunately has never been officially released on dvd. That is, the 1952-58 lifespan of the series, when it was filmed by Screen Gems. The tv-series was done live the previous two years (1950-52), but about a dozen or so kinescopes of those episodes do circulate quite commonly.

Also of note, you can find quite a few of Burns and Allen’s 1930s Paramount features on dvd. Films like “Six of a Kind” (1934), “Love in Bloom” (1935) and such. “International House” (1933) is available on a WC Fields set, and I think “College Swing” (1938) is on a Bob Hope themed disc.

What about Flip Wilson or Milton Berle?
