I am looking to get a Jack Benny Show DVD which includes the program "Jack Joins The Acrobats which aired 1965 show #15.20
I saw a DVD titled "The Jack benny Show 5 Classic shows" which had an indication it contained the above show.
Does anyone have this and if so can they please confirm that in contains Jack Joins The Acrobats" ?
I can't see this particular DVD for sale on Amazon-is it available?
Many thanks,
Mike Sheppard

acrobats not included
overstock.com and a few other places have it - posstage was more than the price of the disc. it's platinum disc on the eps themselves (but that's the only logo) from echo bridge. All but the last are fairly fairly complete prints with low contrast on some... and the eps are the ones commonly known as...
1) Goldie Fields and Glide
2) How Jack Met Mary
3) Season 11 ep 4 with Gisele Mackenzie
Jack goes to Andre's Barber Shop but no barber, manicurist, or shoe shine man wants to work on him. They all grouse about how he's stiffed them on tips in the past. On stage, Jack brags about the suit he's wearing: it only cost $12 in Hong Kong. He introduces Gisele who plays piano and sings "Smile." Jack asks her out to dinner after the show, but she passes because she's throwing a party--one Jack wasn't invited to. Finally, the violins come out and they duet on "Fascination/Puttin' On the Ritz." As they perform a classical number, Jack's cheap suit begins to disintegrate into rags.
4) Christmas show 12-18-60 version (w Richard Deacon)
and then
#5 had 1954 titles but most likely was really Season 12, Episode 11 – Aired: 12/31/1961
New Year's Eve
Jack explains to a reporter how he spent last New Year's Eve.
In the flashback, several musicians are celebrating in Jack's dressing room prior to heading to Don's house for the big party. Dennis comes in dressed as baby New Year, then sings the State Farm commercial with Don accompanying on tuba. Jack, dressed in black tie and tails, informs the boys he'll miss the party because he has a big date on the town with his new gal Gloria.
Gloria calls and cancels, leaving Jack with no plans. Dejectedly, he wanders the streets, stopping into a diner for a bowl of soup. The waitress, Gloria, apologizes for canceling because of work.
Back at home, he finds Rochester, also dressed up, heading out to celebrate. Feeling sad that Jack's all alone, Rochester stays home and the two ring in the New Year over a bottle of champagne.
This last ep was a somewhat blurry multi-generational looking print/copy, better versions are around - you probably have several of all of these.
The upc is 0 96009 16289 4

Bill that was very kind of you to go to so much trouble to advise on the details.I was saddened of course to hear that the show I am looking for is not available but hopefully it will turn up.
