- Synopsis
- Television sitcom starring George Burns and Gracie Allen as themselves, a show business couple in their home. Each episode began with Burns standing, trademark cigar in hand, before the proscenium surrounding their living room set. There he presented a brief monologue, then offered the audience a few comments regarding the situation they were about to see. In this episode Ronnie (their real life son) has an assignment to write a paper on his favourite Shakespeare play. Harry and Grace meddle with disastrous results. Guest star is Frank Baxter playing himself. [No further details on the Shakespeare content known, 3/2008].
