review by
Mike Haberfelner

Harry Morton (Hal March) has a new secretary, and his wife Blanche (Bea Benaderet) - influenced by her neighbour Gracie Allen - thinks it's a gorgeous blonde, and is fuming with jealousy ... until Harry tells her his secretary is actually a man. And to prove her, he even promises to bring the secretary in question (Played by Jim Benson) to dinner to George Burns and Gracie Allen this evening - a dinner which Gracie totally messes up of course with her confusing and confused behaviour, while the show's announcer Bill Goodwin relentlessly tries to promote the show's (real life) producer Carnation Evaporated Milk.

Harrison Muller sr and Bob Fosse can be seen doing a dancing routine with George Burns.

There is not much of a story in this episode, and somehow the narrative goes missing time and again, but there are enough funny oneliners and hilarious situations to make up for these shortcomings and turn it into an enjoyable show nevertheless.
