Mixed but good

I enjoy Benson. Mostly because I find wisecracking humor funny. Benson does that well and the Governor and his stories can have you in stitches sometimes.

However the show's plots were far too often the standard stuff of tv sitcoms. Characters getting trapped together (Benson did that at least 3 times), a character bragging about something then having a friend or family show up (F Troop did that too), Old girlfriend or boyfriend plots. The list goes on. Benson had some great episodes too. The two with Danny Thomas, Fireside Chat, Checkmate, and Close Encounters on the 4th hole to name a few.
