Movie Reviews of George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, Volume 1
Movie Review: 1950s TV
Summary: 5 Stars
Seeing Burns and Allen comically collaborate with each other is obviously an enjoyable experience. What is also interesting for those not that familiar with early 1950s TV advertising was the way in which "Carnation Milk" (the show's sponser) was worked into many of the episodes. The show's "announcer", (often it was Harry von Zell) would drop by the house and engage in a 2-minute discussion with the other characters about the benefits of Carnation milk. To modern sensibilities it can often seem jarring, but in some instances the writers manage to work in this commercial plug in an entertaining enough fashion. The DVD features a variety of shows taken from different seasons, so you also get a sense of how the character of Harry Morton (Burns and Allen's next door neighbor) was played by different actors.
