| 227 | ANTHONY ADVERSE | 10/11/36 | Jack talks about being nervous for the previous episode, which was the opening show for the season. Don shows Jack a review of the show from the newspapers. Phil joins them as do Mary and Kenny, all talking about last week's show. Jack introduces the play for the evening, "Anthony Adverse," and lists which cast members will play which parts. Kenny sings and then the play begins. Jokes about sugar are made, and bad African stereotypes are enacted. Mary does the closing announcement. | "Paint's No Use" - Orchestra; "Sing, Sing, Sing" - Orchestra; "Did I Remember?" - Kenny Baker | |
| 228 | ANTHONY ADVERSE PART TWO | 10/18/36 | Jack talks about his film, "Big Broadcast of 1937." Mary comes in and tells Don that Jack is lousy in the film.

| 229 | PREVIEWS ROMEO AND JULIET | 10/25/36 | Jack and Don discuss criticisms of last week's show. Jack gets an offer to play Anthony Adverse on stage, and each time he tells a different cast member, the amount he is to be paid per week increases. The cast gives Jack a hard time about the veracity of the offer. Phil introduces Jack to his new arranger, Mr. Blue, who laughs uncontrollably. Jack discusses next week's play, "Romeo and Juliet." After a brief preview of the play, the sponsor calls and tells Jack that he cannot do Romeo and Juliet next week on the show. Jack gets mad and defies him, only to regret it after he gets off the phone. He calls back and claims that he was joking, then takes the sponsor's advice to do a minstrel show the next week. | unknown song - Orchestra; "South Sea Island Magic" - Orchestra; "Make Believe" - Kenny Baker; "A Fine Romance" - Orchestra | |
| 230 | DOC BENNY'S MINSTRELS - ROMEO AND JULIET | 11/1/36 | The cast discusses Phil's Halloween party, which they attended the night before. Jack went as a birthday cake, with 40 candles on his head. Don went as a dish of Jell-O. Mary went as a rummage sale. Kenny won first prize and got to wash the dishes. Kenny asks if Jack has ever voted, as he is about to do so for the first time and is worried that he will have to take a shower in the polling booth. The cast launches into the minstrel show, "Doc Benny's Minstrels," complete with offensive racial stereotypes. Jack sneaks "Romeo and Juliet" into the minstrel show as "Boy Meets Girl On a Balcony." | "Alabama Barbeque" - Orchestra; "When a Lady Meets a Gentleman Down South" - Orchestra; "Can't You Hear Me Callin' Caroline?" - Kenny Baker; "Asleep In the Deep" - Jack Benny; "The Night is Young and You are So Beautiful" - Orchestra | |

| 238 | BUCK BENNY RIDES AGAIN AND AGAIN | 12/27/36 | Jack talks about the loud tie Don got for Christmas, and the gifts Jack received, including a very nice watch from Phil. Mary arrives and reads a letter from her mother. Mary accuses Jack of taking it easy on Phil just because he got Jack a nice watch. Phil arrives and apologizes for being late, but Jack just thanks him again for the watch. Jack continues to compliment Phil, then the cast does yet another Buck Benny skit. | "Halleluja" - Orchestra; "The Night is Young and You are So Beautiful" - Kenny Baker; "A Fine Romance" - Orchestra; "Sing Baby Sing" - Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, Andy Devine | |

Jack complains about Abe Lyman. A collect telegram arrives from Abe Lyman threatening Jack to use his orchestra when he is in New York. Mary arrives and sings praises of spring. Women's hats are discussed, leading to a string of gags about hats made from food. Jack decides, despite much grief from Phil, to hire Abe Lyman and has Mary take a telegram down to notify him.

Phil arrives and Jack brags about stealing Barbara from him, but Phil laughs it off. Jack tells Phil that Barbara sent him roses, and Phil tells Jack that is only because he told her that Jack had died. Jack wonders if Barbara really likes him, and Mary whispers a plan to Jack so he can find out. He and Mary leave the studio with Rochester to pursue Mary's plan, which ends up being a visit to a fortune teller, Madame Zombie. As the Madame is busy, the trio waits for her, but Rochester is afraid and eventually runs out to the car. When they get to talk to Madame Zombie, she sees Barbara kissing another man.
