It's at least questionable that Gracie replied to "Say 'good-night' Gracie.", with "Good-night Gracie!", even though LOTS of people "remember" it that way. George, in his autobiography, maintained that she simply said "Goodnight". -- Someone else 19:55 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)

I have listened to many Burns & Allen shows on MP3, and I don't think I have ever heard Gracie say "goodnight gracie".

I also have issues with Gracie being described as a "silly woman". I would put her more in a mixed-up illogic closer to the Marx Brothers than the silliness of slap-stick comedy.

I dont know what episodes you all saw but I was a fan of the show in the 1940's when it was on radio and I did hear her say Goodnight Gracie. It should be put on the site.

In my opinion, this is a very poor article. I will try to add some things later.

Article request

Since wikilinks regarding the Burns and Allen TV series redirect here, there should be a separate article written about the groundbreaking TV show. 23skidoo 15:12, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article already covers the programme on both radio and television, if not in any great depth. David Arthur 20:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Complaints

Double check your facts; I'm pretty sure the tv show ran through 1958. In fact, now that I check again, you say so at the top of the tv show section. So what's with this claim that Gracie retired in '57???

Also, a noteable omission is any comment on the string of Harry Morton's over the run of the tv show (I don't know about radio). Not only did the actor change (I believe 4 different actors played the role), but the *role* changed. Harry Morton as played by Larry Keating was TOTALLY different from Harry Morton as played by Fred Clark.
