The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show - Blu-ray Forum

This is my most wanted remastering right now. I’d even settle for a DVD set as long as the masters were newly created using original elements. The best set available is the woefully incomplete two-volume 64 episode 16 DVD-R set from The Nostalgia Merchant, from ancient VHS quality masters, although it’s still watchable for what it is. This show holds up so well today. Anyone know where good elements on this timeless show might reside?

According to this blog, all but one of the 239 filmed episodes are available on youtube, and 33 of the 52 live episodes are as well. As for the question of where the original film is now, maybe someone here will know, but if not you could also contact either the owner of the blog or the owner of the youtube channel with all the filmed episodes.

I wonder if CBS still holds any elements?

Since ClassicFlix is doing the Abbott and Costello show, maybe they could be the right people to approach on the viability of this.
