Season 1 Episode Guide
34 Episodes 1964 - 1965
Episode 1
Molehills to Mountains
Mon, Sep 14, 1964 30 mins
In the series (a slight variation of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show), Burns plays a somewhat fictionalized version of himself. He is the owner of an apartment building, while Stevens plays his tenant, Wendy Conway. Each take typically revolved around Wendy pulling Burns into comedic situations mostly involving her husband, played by Ron Harper, and other people in the building. As a regular part of its format, Burns would often break the fourth wall to comment directly to the audience about the show's events.

George Burns (as himself) is the landlord of a California apartment building, where he again breaks the fourth wall (as he did in the classic 'Burns and Allen' series) by directly addressing viewers. This time around, in a show produced after Gracie's death, he again narrates, and follows a tenant, Wendy, making asides along the way.
