In addition to the comedy perfection, the advertisements and music are a time capsule of the era from the 1930s through the early '50s.

I don't care what Mr. Benny says, I think Dennis' voice is definitely worth $35 a week!

[@label1877]

Are you sure? That works out to 9 million a year! 😀

label1877 Dennis should have gotten seventy dollars that week, because he sang two songs. And very well, I must say.

The music was “swell’ for the era but we need a way to fast forward it.

Fast forward …to the Beatles?
