Summary: Ohhhh Rochester... 2008-07-01
Comment: If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I am a huge Jack Benny fan. And ya know what? I am! Jack Benny, hands down, is indeed a star of stage, screen, and radio. For me though, his radio shows are the best. Nothing can compare. That is why I think I am a little disappointed with the television show. Taking an image created in the mind and making it substantive, tends to lose some of its magic along the way.
Don't get me wrong, this DVD isn't bad, but it just isn't what Jack Benny fans have come to expect from their icon. This DVD contains 4 episodes of The Jack Benny Show. The commercials have been cut out, compared to the VHS versions, which may still be available, where the commercials have been left in. The run time is nearly 2 hours and the quality is pretty good considering the newness of the media (television). Most of the cast and crew are here and we can actually see what they look like, Don Wilson, Bob Crosby, Rochester, Mel Blanc, and Mary Livingston.
For Jack Benny fans these episodes are a must see. And considering the price of the video, it is a good deal. Just don't expect to see a show as polished as say I Love Lucy or Dick Van Dyke.

Summary: One of the most loveable of all radio and TV shows 2006-05-17
Comment: What a cast. What characters. Jack himself, the violin- playing skinflint, who was Rochester's 'Boss',Jack's either wife or girl- friend sensible Mary,announcer Don Wilson, wacky Irishman with the beautiful tenor voice, Dennis, the wonderful Yiddishy violent Mr.Kitzel, and of course that mad salesman ,'How are yooooo Mister Benny?".
One of the greatest and most loveable of radio- and then- television series.
And the most famous joke of all, when miser Benny is confronted by robbers who tell him 'Your money or your life'- at which ensues the longest silence in the history of radio, followed by Jack Benny's "I'm thinking. I'm thinking'.
