The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show cast list information
George Burns and Gracie Allen (1952)
The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, was an American situation comedy television series that ran for 291 episodes over eight seasons (1950–58) on CBS. The show did not become weekly until the third season. The first two seasons of the show were biweekly broadcasts, with the last episode of Season Two being broadcast three weeks after the one that preceded it. The show was based on the Burns and Allen radio show (1929–50), which first ran for three years on the BBC radio network, before airing in the United States on CBS and NBC.[1] The radio show itself was based on the characters George Burns and Gracie Allen had developed in vaudeville. Many of the early television episodes were a re-working of the same episodes that had aired on radio.
Hundreds of actors appeared on the television version, as leads and second leads, recurring roles, and celebrity cameos. While a handful of actors played the same role with each performance, most of the recurring actors played different roles with each appearance. The majority of the cast over the show's eight years were bit-part roles, either one-time, or carried over into other episodes. After Gracie decided to retire, George went solo for one year with The George Burns Show. Some of the original cast members and guest stars carried over to that show. The Burns family, main cast members, and supporting actors who made substantive contributions during the show's run, are listed below. Those who also appeared on George's solo show are so noted.
