Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
Spring Cleaning and the Cow on the Ceiling
Aired: Mar 27th, 1949. Spring has arrived in Beverly Hills, and Rochester tackles the annual house-cleaning while dodging a feather duster-obsessed parrot and an unwilling Jack Benny as a human ladder. Mary Livingstone tops it off with a hilariously absurd letter from her mother back in Plainfield about a sick cow, an early American canopy bed, and a groundhog with a grudge. Classic Benny ensemble comedy with perfect comic timing and a healthy dose of small-town whimsy.
