Maybe it shows how old I am but I remember watching the great Jack Benny as a kid. He was a comic genius who get laughs by not saying anything at all. This cartoon is really a animated version of his television show. It features his valet Eddie "Rochester" Anderson his girlfriend (and Benny's real life wife) Mary Livingston and his announcer friend Don Wilson all doing voices as cartoon mice. We even have Mel Blanc as the voice of his sputtering car. The cartoon features all the hallmarks of Benny's show especially the jokes about his stinginess as he tries to take Mary out to dinner and they are pursued by a hungry cat. The only sad part is that people watching this cartoon today won't get all of the jokes. There will never be another comic giant like Jack Benny!
