The Burns & Allen Show - The Income Tax Man

Since becoming a vaudeville team in 1922, George Burns and Gracie Allen have made audiences laugh in movies, radio and television. The real-life married couple established their personalities in radio with "The Burns and Allen Show" and brought their comedy to television in 1950. For nine years on CBS, every show opened with Burns, puffing his trademark cigar, regaling the audience with stories of their vaudeville days... and the latest antics of his beloved wife, Gracie. Often entangled with their neighbors the Morton's, Gracie's zany wit was always the cause (and solution) to their misadventures of domestic bliss.

George Burns, born Nathan Birnbaum, January 20, 1896, passed away, March 9, 1996 (age 100)
Gracie Allen, born Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen, July 26, 1895, passed away, August 27, 1964 (age 69)
