The funny and ironic thing about the ad:
When she says "Will it bring Jack Benny back"?  I have to wonder if the
program selection committee for KEYE-SD (42-2) saw that Spike Feresten spoof
ad....  They mostly air "RTV" (Retro TV) and for the first time in over 40
years I got to see - you guessed it "The Jack Benny Program".   They show
two of his programs back to back starting at 10:00am.  I think I remember it
from the early 60s - but I would never have believed just how funny some of
the material was - Like a parody of how Steven Foster wrote many of his
songs while suffering from writer's block - I didnt realize they GOT so
silly back then - it was totally off the wall - hilarious....
