"Burns and Allen" shows can be divided into two very distinct periods. The shows set in the Burns' Beverly Hills house are almost always hilarious. The shows set in a New York hotel are almost always dumb. The latter shows always revolve around Ronnie rather than Gracie, and the result is awful. Ronnie is just not funny. -- Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{hao,ihnp4,decvax}!noao!terak!doug
