Transcript

It's Maxwell House Coffee Time starring George Burns and Gracie Allen with yours truly Bill Goodwin and the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra For deep down laughs and listening enjoyment It's George and Gracie and for deep down coffee drinking enjoyment It's Maxwell House with extra flavor in the blend because of choice Latin American coffee skillfully combined

Extra flavor in the cup because radiant roast develops the full flavor of every coffee bean And the result is that today more people buy Maxwell House than any other brand of coffee in the world.

Well, it's morning in the Burns home and George has just come down to breakfast. How about a little food, dear? Alright, George. But first, there's something I'd like to ask you. What? Well, our radio show goes on this evening, and my club, the Beverly Hills Uplift Society, would like to take it over.

Oh, no. You sneaked those names on the program last week, and they set radio back 50 years. Oh, no, that's not fair, Judge. We simply made a few changes. Some program. Everybody's laughing at me.

Well, you see, that's one of the changes we made. Forget it. But, Judge, the girls are simply dying to get on the air. Then let them fly around with the other bats. That's my program, and it's going to stay my program.

I'll say my program. Well, of course it is. We'll be honored, but you'll direct the whole thing. Director? Yes, because that takes brains and you're the brandy one in this family. Why, compared to you, I'm only brilliant.

That's very flattering, but... Your darling little head just bulges with brains. Look, that's what makes you here, stick out that way. Thanks for the explanation. I love being a director, George. We'll get you a chair with your name on it.
