There will never be another Jack Benny. He was absolutely the best. My parents always watched his TV show and even when I was just a young kid I thought he was hilarious. His timing is impeccable, the jokes are truly funny, and the cast is the perfect foil for his jokes. The jokes were never dirty and the only time they were mean was when they were directed at Benny. He could make an audience laugh just by looking at them. My favorite episodes are the ones with Rochester played by the truly wonderful Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. Even though Jack was the boss, Rochester always got his way and sometimes you wondered who was actually the boss. It's hard to say which episode is my favorite, because I love them all, but I do always look forward to seeing his Christmas episode, "Jack Goes Shopping". Mel Blanc is perfect as the harried clerk. I have several DVD's of his show and they are also currently being shown on Antenna TV if anyone is looking for them.
