About this product

Product Information

Funnyman Jack Benny's eponymous series originally debuted in late October 1950 on CBS. The format was neither a sitcom nor a variety show <I>per se</I>, but instead a series of well-honed Benny routines (about his stinginess, his basement vault of money, his ineptitude on the violin and other trademarks) done as sketch comedy and paired with humorous monologues and laid-back vaudeville shtick by the comedian. Supporting Benny were regulars including Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, Don Wilson Mel Blanc, Dennis Day and others. However one categorizes it, the show was enormously popular, running for an astonishing 14 years on CBS. It then jumped ship, moved to NBC and ran for an additional season on that network, from September 1964 through September 1965. This box set contains a sprawling compilation of some of the most popular material from that program.

Benny the master comedian
The show is a classic. Benny’s guests include many of the stars of the era in skits that hold their own today. The quality of the video is poor, but I’m sure that the transfer from old film to digital video can’t enhance detail that eroded long ago. In the fifties, sponsors incorporated advertising in the show’s content. So, you may smoke Lucky Strike cigarettes after watching 39 episodes. I enjoy the memories these shows bring. If you grew-up in that era, you will love the humor and uncomplicatedness.

Humor for the whole family
Jack Benny and his guests are so funny in these old skits! There are even skits I had not seen before and they were so funny seeing them for the first time! Good clean family fun!
