No question. George. Lived to be 100, all while smoking those big cigars and drinking and performing almost to the end.

Monty Burns. Having a spineless minion like Smithers attend to your every need is macho.

Kat, I do believe WE are DATING ourselves to a long-gone era... LOLOL! Maybe you are.  I listened to re-re-reruns of their show with my Mom. It was impressive that Gracie never got lost in some of her lines. She played the ditz perfectly. I took Mom to the one-man play about George Burns. I thought I'd probably be a little bored since I hadn't heard that many of his shows. I mostly knew him from Oh God! But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the show. Mom of course loved it. If you're a fan at all, look up the play. >'Kat |

Kat,
Ah... I watched them when they first ran... Must have been mid-fifties on a "GIANT SCREEN" 17-inch black and white Sentinel console TV! George and Gracie were such a hilariously "stereotyped" adorable Jewish couple, you couldn't help but love 'em. "Stereotyping" races, genders, religions, etc. was commonly done back then, with absolutely NO offense intended. America today has made a fine art of being offended, and it's sad.
I still chuckle when I remember George finally saying: "Say goodnight, Gracie" and she'd smile and say: "Goodnight, Gracie"... They were MASTERS of clean, family comedy. We could use some of that today!
Ride safe! And laugh hard!
Leo

Release the hounds Smithers! Oh yes! Releasing the hounds is macho. But not as macho as . . . |

I am old enough to remember seeing George Burns on the tele, but Gracie had already passed.
