"Crazy Legs" Rowena was a very famous contestant on You Bet Your Life, so popular she returned in a show at the end of the season. She does a dance that lives up her to name. It's all the funnier after having met her quiet, gentle Dutch parents, who are quite entertaining in their own right.
COUPLE #1: "Crazy Legs" Rowena Heimstra and her father, Charlie Heimstra
COUPLE #2: Everett Austin-Goodell & his wife Hasmick (who are supposedly returning from a prior show, but I can't find any record of which show that was).

![Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #8 - Would a sane man do that? [clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8TTvDj7eUO8/mqdefault.jpg "Burns and Allen - Classic Scenes #8 - Would a sane man do that? [clip]
Heres a brief, but hilarious, scene thats deleted from the currently syndicated versions of the Burns and Allen show. Here, Gracie is trying her best to convince George that hes lost his mind so that hell buy a boat (dont ask the plot will only make sense if you see the rest of the episode).
Sorry about the video quality this comes from an old VHS recording of reruns back in the 1980s. Tried to clean it up as best I could. Bear in mind, the scenes like this one that have been deleted from currently rerunning episodes will likely never see the light of day again unless this series (miraculously) gets a proper DVD release some day. Why anyone would edit out such a hilarious moment as this is completely beyond me!")
