expanding Jack and all of otr legacy

Hey, been a while since I was on the forum. I've been watching the original Star Trek series lately because my mom loves the original series of Star Trek. Anyway I have been around my school and have noticed somthing great. Our school shows the Whos On First tv routine as part of a 6th grade shakespeare unit reading Comedy of the Errors. Now in eighth grade I know people who still remember me playing the radio version in class. One of my fellow peers even has the routine on his iPod. It wont be long before Jack is on his iPod

Good for you, (and him!) The "Who's on First" skit was definitely one of the first steps on my road to the discovery of OTR and Jack Benny!

Hey, welcome back ZE! And good choice on Star Trek (speaking as a Trekker myself)...

I've noticed from my own experience that Abbott and Costello do still seem to resonate well with a younger audience--both the wordplays like "Who's on First" and the slapstick like the candle routine in "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". Like you said, it's a great introduction to OTR and getting through the misconception of "It's old so it's boring." Keep spreading the word!

Thanks LLeff. It's my mom who got me into Star Trek, I think she had a crush on Kirk. I like Kirk, Spock, and Bones McCoy. Any way back to Jack. I 'm going to download all my benny shows onto an iPod i am saving up for this summer. I still need to order Jacks first tv show from this site.

ps
unlike Charlie McCarthy I have passed the 8th grade
