    Trick or Treat with the Beavers Club
    Jul 30 2026
    Aired: Oct 31st, 1948. It's Halloween in Beverly Hills, and Jack tags along with the neighborhood kids' club as their trick-or-treating mascot, spinning wild tales to a new kid about his 'legendary' boxing and Olympic exploits. The night takes a detour when Jack, worn out from all that 'athletic' walking, dons a homemade wolf mask and scares the daylights out of Mary Livingston's maid before collapsing into an armchair to trade jabs with Mary over a magazine article. A classic slice of Jack's vanity and small-town charm, wrapped in seasonal mischief.

    Jul 29 2026
    Aired: Oct 24th, 1948. Jack's throwing a fancy dinner party for Ronald and Benita Colman, but his bank-vault-tight budget turns the evening into a comedy of errors — mystery napkins from a stranger, a backyard full of unsellable string beans, and a parrot named Polly rehearsing her manners a little too enthusiastically. Mary Livingstone drops by with a letter from her mother that derails the whole household. A cozy, silly slice of 1948 domestic chaos from Jack Benny's world.

Mary Livingston fields a call from movie star Barbara Stanwyck, who's plugging her new thriller "Sorry, Wrong Number" while trading gentle jabs about Jack's stinginess, his questionable gifts, and his knack for cadging free movie passes. Back at the Benny household, Jack preps for a date with Mary while Rochester frets over a leaky rubber cushion and a mysterious echo, and young Dennis Day wanders in baffled by his first brush with television. A classic slice of 1948 Benny domestic comedy, packed with running gags and a fun Hollywood cameo.

    Aired: Nov 28th, 1948. Jack preps for a formal Thanksgiving dinner at Mary's, but a moth-eaten tuxedo, a chatty party line full of nosy neighbors, and a visit from a turkey-walking Mr. Kitzel throw the whole evening into chaos. A cozy, gag-packed holiday episode built on Rochester's one-liners and Jack's penny-pinching panic over a box of candy.

  • Homeward Bound on the Queen Mary

    Homeward Bound on the Queen Mary
    Jul 23 2026
    Jack Benny returns from his summer tour of Europe in this 1948 season premiere, opening with wry scenes of London and Paris audiences reacting to his Palladium and Olympia performances. The action then shifts to the Queen Mary's final day at sea, where Jack's violin playing clears the decks, Mary Livingston delivers zingers about the captain's table, and the gang plots what to do on their first show back. A charming, self-aware curtain-raiser that pokes fun at the very idea of a season opener.

    Originally aired October 3, 1948.
