Classic TV: The Burns And Allen Show

There were great comedy teams back in...well, back in the 'Old Days'.

Martin and Lewis.  Laurel and Hardy.  Abbott and Costello.

And every week on the old black and white television that must have weighed a ton...there was Burns and Allen.

• Classic Television Western: The Virginian

George and Gracie, married, became America's favorite funny couple.  George, the common sense half of the duo, and Gracie, the ditzy wife (although Gracie Allen was one of the brightest performers in show business!).

Each week a new wacky adventure, and always a famous guest star.  In the episode above, their friend and an entertainment legend, Jack Benny.

So let the video roll and let's take a trip back, a funny trip back, to an America that seems so very long ago.
