CBS Network - The Jack Benny Program - "Jack Goes to the Vault" (Complete Broadcast, 8/2/1977) 📺

Here's the first of four repeat airings of The Jack Benny Program as aired over the summer of 1977 on the CBS Network, here via their then-Boston, MA affiliate WNAC Channel 7 (now WHDH).

The vintage installment shown here is "Jack Goes to the Vault" (S11E12, original airdate way back on January 8th 1961), where two Treasury agents from Fort Knox mean to study his elaborately laid-out vault. Joe Kearns (then co-starring in Dennis the Menace) is vault guard Ed; the other guests are Hayden Rorke (pre-I Dream of Jeannie), Ross Elliott and Bob Hoy.

Show voiceover, and introducing Jack on camera and mingling with him in the course of this episode, is longtime announcer Don Wilson. Eddie "Rochester" Anderson is also among the regulars aiding Jack.
