Happy Thanksgiving!

Have some classic TV with your Thanksgiving dinner this year...

Watch The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show's"Thanksgiving" episode from 1951, and see Archive interview excerpts with writers Paul Henning and Aaron Ruben featured on the Archive's show page for The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.

Mr. Crawford (guest star Charles Lane): "How do y'do?  I'm Joe Crawford from the drugstore.  Mr. Burns ordered these cigars."

Gracie: "...I hope you'll excuse the looks of this house, but I'm very busy cooking a big turkey."

Mr. Crawford: "I guess everybody is.  If there's anything I love to smell-- it's a turkey roasting in the oven."

Gracie: "Oh really. Well after I get it in, why don't you come over and smell it."
