Burns and Allen: The Adventures of George and Gracie premiered on CBS on September 19,1934. One of the most famous running gags was "Gracie Allen for President." During the election year of 1940, Gracie represented the fictitious Surprise Party and advocated nonsense as part of her platform. The "campaign" was so successful that Gracie actually received numerous write-in votes on election day. Some of those hilarious broadcast are included in these collections.

With the beginning of the 1942 season, Burns and Allen converted to the sitcom format and George and Gracie played themselves, the perfectly normal, all-American couple, that is if you can call Gracie normal. The radio show ran from 1933 to 1950, then made the transition to television for eight more years.
