This is the FIRST commercial on the FIRST EPISODE. Since this is the FIRST EPISODE, and the FIRST commercial in this episode, then any commercials that followed can't be the first.

There are a few good releases out there, if you are willing to pay, the radio shows are more common to find, if you go to "theburnsandallenshow dot blogspot dot com " , someone has uploaded high quality copies of the radio show, they are great, Gracie is hillarious

They should put the full seasons out, Burns and Allen were comic geniuses, they should release all of the episodes, almost all the DVDs out there are so grainy that you can hardly see them, they deserve better, they should atleast put something out that is as good of picture as the I Love Lucy DVDs, people would buy them, I never get tired of Gracie

This was ONE of the first "integrated" commercials seen on the show in 1950. The first one {on October 12, 1950} featured Bill Goodwin describing an incident at the airport to George, and he turns it into a Carnation "commerical".
