Editorial Reviews

Rare holiday episode with special guest stars Les Paul, Mary Ford and Tom & Jerry. A nostalgic look back at a true holiday favorite packed full of hilarious Christmas songs and skits. Also included are the original commercials that are as hysterical as the skits themselves. Enjoy this holiday trip back in time when jokes were clean and TV was funny!

This review is from: Abbott and Costello Christmas Special (DVD)

I expected a typical Abbott and Costello romp and received a bonus. I had as much fun watching Costello be the straght man and Abbott taking all the pratfalls, as Costello had doing all the setups for Abbott. I wish all the segments could have been about Christmas, but it was still classic comedy.

This review is from: Abbott and Costello Christmas Special (DVD)

I love Abbott and Costello and greatly enjoyed this video. It's nearly two hours long and a considerable amount of that is actual old commercials which made it even more fun and entertaining! It's like taking a walk back through time to see some good clean humor. My only slight disappointment (hence the 4 and not 5 stars in my rating) was that the majority of the content is not Christmas oriented at all which I've found is quite common for the time period with television Christmas specials. However, the film is pure comedy and music entertainment at it's best!

This review is from: Abbott and Costello Christmas Special (DVD)

This is laugh out loud funny. Doesn't matter how many years ago these were filmed, they're as funny today as they were then. Wish there was much more of these on DVD, great fun for all ages. Even our 8 yr. old got a kick out of them. Worth the price, go for it.
