And George Burns took that fourth wall even further on television., talking to the audience about what had just transpired, having actors walk in front of him on their way to one of the sets, and finally actually watching the show's events on his own TV screen.

I always enjoyed the story of when Larry Keating replaced Fred Clark as Harry Morton. Harry's wife Blanche (Bea Benaderet) was just about to hit him over the head with a vase when George Burns stopped the action, took Fred out of the scene and explained that he was leaving the show, introduced Larry Keating to the audience as the new Harry Morton, introduced him to Bea Benaderet, and then said "Let's get back to the story" - whereupon Blanche hit the NEW Harry over the head with the vase.
