George Burns and Gracie Allen started out in radio as guest stars in other radio shows, such as The Guy Lombardi Show, but got their own spot on CBS with The Adventures of Gracie beginning September 19, 1934.  The title of their top-rated show changed to The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show on September 1936.  In 1941, they moved from comedy patter into a successful sitcom format, continuing with shows on NBC and CBS until May 17, 1950.  As in the early days of radio, the sponsor's name became the show title, such as Maxwell House Coffee Time (1945–49).
