Jack Benny Program: Jack at the Supermarket

[SymphonyBrahms]

Jack is so cheap! I love it!

[SymphonyBrahms]

Frank Nelson AND Benny Rubin in the same sketch! Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JubalCalif]

Heavens to Benjamin Kubelsky! What a joy & delight to watch for the first time today! The late great Mr Benny was my all time fave comedian! Judging by the fashions, the kitchen appliances & how old the cast looks, I'd say this comes from the latter part of the run of his network show. THANKS for uploading this for us to enjoy! :-)

[TyUnglebower]

You ALWAYS saw Frank Nelson coming from a mile away...and you still laugh every damn time.

[JubalCalif]

@TyUnglebower

I second that emotion! He was my favorite regular on the show! No one could say "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS????" like him! Later he was the voice of Spiffy the Cat on the Saturday morning cartoon show "The Oddball Couple"...among his many other memorable credits!

[Juliaflo]

I wonder what Mr. Benny would think of today's so-called stars?

[MegaRYANNNNNNN]

@Juliaflo YOU AND ME BOTH PAL

Golden. Frank Nelson.

[werksdesign]

I sure do miss the talent we used to have. The programming, the personalities, the writers and scripts just don't exist anymore.

[storrs19]

LMAO! I knew Frank Nelson would be somewhere in this program. He is such a riot and is always harassing Jack Benny.

[storrs19]

This is one of the funniest Jack Benny Program shows I've ever seen. Thanks much for sharing it with us.

Did mary never appear in jacks tv shows or was she just in radio?

[jenny1340]

@punkme69 She had a severe case of stage freight, so she only appeared in the TV episodes that were filmed instead of on live shows. But even when she was in radio she sometimes fainted right after a show, or she had to have a sub read her lines in both radio and TV.

Rochester...the dude was AMAZING! And look at Jack! That outfit predates Carol Burnett by YEARS!

[JayeRo]

I love Jack Benny. I was born in 1962 but my viewing preference is circa 1930 to 1965.

[generfeld]

thanks so much for this upload. classic!

[NYVoice]

Jack: "Where's the corn department?". Frank: "I'm looking at it". That guy was awesome. Yeeesss? Yeeessss!

[jeprice08]

I love Jack and the way he handled certain things. It's probably no wonder why his show lasted so long, he was able to identify with the public.

A kimono is not Chinese but Japanese.

@Richard40171

Ah so! The inscrutable mysteries of the Orient!

[padaii]

This is the greatest show ever.

[Jantv81]

Reasons I love Jack:

1. He never was older than 39.

2. His relationship with Don, Rochester and Mary are classic.

3. He played a nifty violin.

4. A car named Maxwell?

5. Guest Stars legendary.

[CarGuyZM10]

@Jantv81 The car wasn't named Maxwell, that's the kind of car he drove.It's an old brand, even for this era

Originally telecast on January 22, 1961 [the 1963-'64 opening title is used].
