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.

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.

UNLIKE SOME KIDS I SPENT MOST OF MY YOUTH DEVOTED TO VAUDEVILLE COMEDY SUCH AS THE THREESTOOGES,LAURL AN HARDY THE MARX BROTHERS. BUT MOST OF ALL BUD AN LOU ARE MY ALLTIME FAVORITES. YOU HAVE THE LEMON GAME,AND MORE BUT MOST OF ALL WHOS ON FIRST. I HAVE WATCHED IT OVER AN OVER AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF IT. IALSO JUST PURCHESD THE NAUGHTY NINTEYS FEARTING WHOS ON FIRST. IALSO LET ONE OF MY COWORKERS BORROW IT.THAT AFTER WATCHING IT. HE REALY THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. AND THATS COMING FROM A 22 YEAR OLD,

It is very hard to come up with a thousand words, but however I will try. The movie was very funny, and the reason I am ordering it so my children can see, and I am starting a collection. Now to be honest with you I can't find anything else to say

I have always enjoyed this classic. i am giving it as a gift
