Further Career
Burns starred in the 1960–1961 NBC comedy series Happy in which he and Yvonne Lime Fedderson played Chris and Sally Day, the parents of a talking baby called "Happy". Burns played the manager of the Palm Desert Hotel in Palm Springs, California. Lloyd Corrigan, Doris Packer, and Burt Metcalfe had supporting roles.
Burns' most memorable appearance was uncredited, as "Wallace" on the Young at Heart episode of The Honeymooners, which featured Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) trying to roller skate with disastrous results. His career did not go much further.
His sister, Sandra Burns, now Mrs. Sandra Luckman, made only bit appearances on her parents' shows, and retired from acting permanently to marry and raise a family.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
