Walmart is carrying Best of Jack Benny TV shows (50s/60s) in their bargain bin for $5, and it is an amazing collection of 41 full episodes TV shows on 4 DVDs complete with Lucky Star commercial.
Each episode start with Benny side cracking monologue. And then on to comedy sketches, musicals numbers, routines and live on the spot Benny’s humor and it seems almost every Hollywood, radio and TV star shows up on Jack's show.
For example in one of musical numbers, we see Liberace with his glamorous outfit playing grand piano with silk curtains and candle light every where. And then all of sudden a country Bongo player with straw hat enter the scene and star playing and singing with Liberace. It was the funniest thing I seen on TV :D
Picture quality on DVD range form good to average on some episodes, yet it is not too bothersome. Here is the cover of DVD if interested:
