==Radio== In the early 1930s, like many stars of the era, Burns and Allen graduated to radio. The show was originally a continuation of the flirtation act from their vaudeville and short-film routines. In 1935, famed composer and arranger [[Ferde Grofe]] joined them as musical director. Burns realized that they were too old for that type of material<ref name="ALoveStory"/>{{rp|165}} and changed the show's format in the fall of 1941 into the situation comedy for which they are best remembered: a working showbusiness married couple negotiating ordinary problems caused by Gracie's "illogical logic", usually with the help of neighbors Harry and Blanche Morton and their announcer [[Bill Goodwin]] (later replaced by [[Harry von Zell]] during the run of their television series).
