Abe Burrows' Almanac is an American television series that aired on CBS from January 4, 1950, until March 29, 1950.[1]

The live program, hosted by Abe Burrows, featured music, song and comedy performances by guests. The show was broadcast on Wednesday evenings, 9-9:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Milton DeLugg conducted the orchestra.[1][2]

While Burrows had a successful nightclub act and made regular appearances as a performer on CBS radio programs, this short-lived series is notable for being his only featured role in a television program.[citation needed]
