The run
This upload contains 272 episodes of the old time radio programs of George Burns and Gracie Allen, which aired from 1934-1950. George and Gracie then made the successful jump to television (1950-1958). The iconic comedy duo (and married couple) entertained American audiences for a quarter of a century.

The shape of the run
12 dated broadcasts across 17 years on the air, with 8 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
