Classic TV highlights: 1949 Groucho Marx quiz show pilot, 1955 Jack Benny parody with Groucho, 1953 James Dean drama, and Marilyn Monroe's TV debut on Benny's show.

Groucho: From Dec. 5, 1949, this is the actual hour-long film pilot for the famous comedy quiz show. Groucho & George Fenneman valiantly struggle to transform the original radio version into the new medium of TV. Also included is the infamous You Bet Your Sweet Benny show from April 3, 1955, an episode of the Jack Benny Show where Groucho delivers their own send up of the show with Benny as contestant. James Dean: This 1953 episode of the Campbell Showcase features Dean as an angst-ridden small-time hood falling in love and spilling over with rebel personal. Marilyn: This hilarious half hour episode of the Jack Benny Show from 1953 marked Marilyn's first national TV appearance and is absolutely priceless!
