5.0 out of 5 stars
Clean and Hilarious, October 24, 1999
This review is from: Who's on First/Lon Chaney [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I grew up watching Abbott & Costello. Every Sunday morning I'd watch them, as religiously as I watched The Bugs Bunny & Road Runner show every Saturday morning. As a 9-year-old I remember laughing very hard. !0 years later, during a Humanities class, we studied Comedy (yes, Humanities can be fun with the right teacher). Who's on First is recognized as, if there were a top ten, one of the top 5 greatest comedy routines of all time. We diagramed the entire routine for two hours then watched it. Incredible! If it's been a while since you've seen Abbott & Costello, buy it! Being older, you'll laugh like its Sunday morning; in your pajama's.

Poor Quality Tapes!!!, June 3, 2001
This review is from: Who's on First/Lon Chaney [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Abbott & Costello's Who's on First is great, but this copy is a flop. I purchased it and anticipated watching the comedy team I remembered watching in the 70's on our black& white tv. This version is taken from a 1950's early tv show that is very grainy and the sound is inconsistant. This Who's On First is part of a tv variety show and it is not the polished version I remembered from the Sunday morning movie or from the radio show. This is not worth the $. It was very disappointing! Try to get your copy somewhere else. This one is boxed with an Errol Flyn movie that I didn't even bother opening. The quality of the picture and sound was that bad. My kids were really disappointed.
