Hi, gang, I just found this for FIVE DOLLARS in the "2 for $10" kiosk near the WalMart electronics department! It is a trove of Benny material, with lots of Lucky Strike and State Farm ads, musical numbers intact, etc. I am disappointed that the Fred Allen-Eddie Cantor episode hangs up, as well as "How Jack Found Mary" and the famous 1960 Christmas show ( containing Mel Blanc's character's suicide ). It is definitely a manufacturing defect, because I bought a SECOND set, and it hangs up in precisely the same places on the same discs. But, hey, for $5, I can't expect much in the way of quality from the DVD company. However, I have gotten MUCH enjoyment from the original entertainment value. My favorite episode, I think, is "4 O'Clock In The Morning"!
