Default The Best of Jack Benny

Every Tuesday night at 11:30 we've been DVRing the Best of Jack Benny on channel 15 out of Daytona. Last night the episode was from 1954, so we aren't old enough to remember it, but it's still funny. I remember in the early 60's pleading with my Dad to let me stay up and watch Jack Benny, and every once in a while he would. When he said it was time for bed, I would tell him that I wanted to close the door to my bedroom so I could sleep. I wouldn't close the door completely so I could sneak behind the door and watch Jack through the crack. It wasn't until years later that my Mom and Dad told me that they knew what I was doing. Couldn't pull the wool over Mom and Dad's eyes! Boy, I really miss those days, and even though Dad's been gone 23 years, and Mom 6 years, I miss them even more. So if you liked Jack Benny, check it out on Tuesday's, it'll probably bring back some old memories for you too.
