Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A_Different_Drummer Shocking as this may sound there was a time when TV was a brand new medium and the producers, mainly interested in selling soap and cigarettes (literally) did not know what to do with it. So they tried to re-cycle tried and true formulas for entertainment, which meant grabbing anything still twitching from vaudeville (and post-vaudeville, which included radio and the musical movies) putting it in front of camera and sound-stage, and then watching to see if the audience went for it. More often than not they did, and sometimes it worked so well that the audience got addicted (this show, the Gleason show, the Sullivan show). These were experiences today's generation will never know, especially since, with 500 channels, no one is really re-broadcasting these classics. The Benny show is as a good as it gets, better even than Burns, which is saying something. Jack Benny was not merely an actor, he was an entertainment machine, and each show plays to this. Astonishing example of the lost art of star-based comedy. With hindsight, each show was based on nothing -- which was precisely the formula that Seinfeld used a half-century later to entrance audiences all over again

Kalaman I have to disagree with the other user who said Jack Benny blew. What? Benny is a comic genius and one of the funniest comedians ever. I saw his classic TV show, "The Jack Benny Program", last night and I must admit I loved it, it is very, very funny. Keep in mind this is early 50s TV variety show and yet it is still hilarious. Jack brings back his radio performers to perform his comic acts and sketches. It was awesome! I will be watching it again.

dtucker86 I loved The Jack Benny Show. I am so shocked that there were only two comments in your index about it. Yes some of the episodes are almost fifty years old and probably will never see the light of day again, but look at the dreck on tv right now. This show would be just as good as ever. Jack was such a wonderful comic because he always took it so seriously. He didn't even realize how funny he was I don't think. George Burns once said Jack was funniest when he wasn't saying anything. I loved everything about the show and would love to see it again.

sandiego-4 I just finished watching an hour-long JACK BENNY SHOW from 1965 with perhaps the best guests ever assembled: Bob Hope, Elke Sommer, The Beach Boys (introducing some now very classic songs), and Walt Disney! The first skit was a parody of popular shows of that era (The Munsters, The Addams Family, Bewitched, My Mother the Car, The Fugitive, and Peyton Place), but the best skit was an Italian film style version of Mary Poppins with Elke Sommer in the title role, Bob Hope as a chauffeur, and Jack Benny as the father. There is also a great skit with Benny visiting Disney's office asking for free tickets to Disneyland for 110 guests. Lots of music from the Beach Boys and Elke Sommer (who manages to steal every scene, even up against Hope and Benny!). If you find this at an on-line auction somewhere (that's how I found it) it is well worth the investment. A classic the entire family will love.
