Movie Reviews of Best of Jack Benny
Movie Review: In-Show Advertising Doesn't Hurt Program
Summary: 4 Stars
There is less minutes of advertising in each episode than most current "CBS" shows. Like several other variety shows, there is usually about 4 minutes of actual commercials and 1 minute of "sponsor plugs", which are plugs for the sponsor inserted into the comedy.
As for the comedy itself, it's wonderful. Jack Benny was warm and funny, and never afraid to mock himself. He was such a good actor that some people really believed he was as stingy as his character. In real life Jack was quite generous. While some of the jokes need some context, many of them still work today.
The guests are great too. This show is unusual in that it's sorta of a "variety-sitcom" hybrid, combining episode-long sketckes with other segments.
The only real problem with the DVD is the rather worn kinescope prints, which could use with some cleaning up.
