Every time I see the title of this thread I think of Bob Hope in “The Big Broadcast of 1938”

Actually, the one I always liked was “The Big Broadcast of 1937,” which was headlined by Jack Benny. Haven’t seen it in over thirty years, though. Always thought of it as the funniest of the lot. Plus, had a good early appearance by Benny Goodman and his band. Wish it were available on dvd, but it’s not.

A few weeks ago, I was wanting to view the original (1932), the one with Bing Crosby, along with numbers by the Boswell Sisters, Cab Calloway and such. But it appears I no longer have my off-air VHS recording of it. I’m starting to think it was one of several tapes I lost due to Hurricane Rita flooding.
