Rating: 2 stars
Summary: More details please
Review: Can someone add if the clips are from familiar VHS/DVD release shows, and what's the origins of the documentary??

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A MISLEADING, TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: Don't even think about purchasing this collection.

From its minimal description - or lack of - I expected 5 discs of episodes from the Burns and Allen tv show. Wrong.

This is a compilation of films and other shows, wastefully spread out over 5 discs - nothing to do with the beloved series. Additionally, the material included here could have been put on 2 discs.

Precisely like the disappointing JACK BENNY COLLECTION - this is misleading and irresponsible.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: I bought this compilation as a gift for my sister who really enjoys the show. I should have known something was up based on the low price for the set, but I was extremely disappointed to see that each disc only contain 2 half hour episodes. This is an extreme waste. A 5 disc set should easily contain 20 to 25 episodes and finding out that it only contains 8 episodes and a documentary makes me feel cheated.

Summary: A MISLEADING, TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: If you're a fan of Burns and Allen, it's probably worth buying this because the humor is good, and where else are you going to get Burns and Allen shows on DVD?

Picture quality is typical for very old black and white TV. They put an identification "bug" in the corner of the screen just like you see when you watch something on TV.

My main complaint is they used 5 dvd's to hold just 5 hours of B&W programming (8 half hour shows, and a 1 hour documentary) They could have fit this on one or two DVD's and put it in a double sided DVD package so it would take up less space on the shelf.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: They could have fit this on 1 or 2 dvd's..

Summary: Stingy offerings
Review: My low rating isn't based on the quality of the Burns and Allen show, which is very amusing, but the skimpyness of the offerings in this set. The 5 DVD's contain only eight 30-minute shows, all evidently from 1950, and a documentary. All of this could have been included on 2 DVD's. Each DVD contains only one hour of programing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BEWARE! RIP-OFF ALERT!
Review: This DVD "set" comes with no descriptions of the episodes, and with good reason. The majority of the material appears on the much lower-priced single volumes of Burns and Allen released in 2003. You're paying for packaging. There are only 2 episodes on four of the discs. The final disc is a documentary. Save your money and buy Burn and Allen Vol. 1 & 2. This is a great disappointment and an utter waste of money! I suspect the Jack Benny set released at the same time is also a rip-off! (The issuers of this must be as cheap and miserly as the character Benny played). WATCH OUT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Series Sucked!!!!!!
Review: This Sucked and to top it off I received the series with the wrong series title so there for I got double of this mess on different dvd's beware, this broke my heart and I love Burns and Allen and I was not even born when they were on, just fell in love with them my ten year old loves them too. Want my money back will try and send it back do not fall into the trap do not BUY!!!!! Not even worth 1 star

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blue Nostalgic
Review: Who could resist the Burns/Allen combination? Comedy on stage and a life long romance off stage. A tribute to Americana.
