George Burns and Gracie Allen brought their vaudeville act to American radio in 1932. George was an expert straight man and wrote most of their material, but it was Gracie’s portrayal of an absurd and scatterbrained flirt that stole the show. In 1942, the style of the show changed and it became a situation comedy featuring the adventures of a regular guy married to an entirely irregular lady. The couple lived in a neighborhood with many colorful characters, including Mel Blanc’s Happy Postman who never made it through an episode without at least one bout of hysterical crying. After almost two decades on radio, George and Gracie moved their show to television in 1950. Originally Performed on 01/25/1950
