Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

CONTAINS 4 COMPLETE SHOWS FROM THE CLASSIC TV COMEDY SERIES (1952-53), TRANSFERRED FROM THE ORIGINAL 35MM FILM MASTERS.

Featuring Mr. Fields, Mike the Cop, Bacciagalupe, Hillary, Stinky and Bingo the Chimp.

The Abbott and Costello TV Show is timeless American humor, as fresh today as it was 40 years ago. All the classic routines which "the boys" performed on film, radio and stage, were captured in 1952-1953 for the new medium of television and delivered at the peak of their powers.

The regular cast of characters, including Mr. Fields, Mike the Cop, Stinky, Bacciagalupe and Hillary, had worked with Bud and Lou on film and stage and each contributed memorably. These shows stand today as perhaps the finest surviving representation of the art of burlesque comedy.

EPISODES - Lou's Birthday, Getting a Job, Uncle Bozzo and Stolen Skates.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Syd Fields romp!, August 14, 2001
By BMJ2K (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This dvd contains what may be the funniest episode of this or any series- Lou's Birthday. Syd Fields proves his versatility and steals the show! His verbal joust with Lou over whether or not he is invited to the party (or if he even wants to be invited) is a comedic gem. Then, when he arrives, his outfit is a must see! Finally, watch his obvious pride at his gift to Lou- a picture of himself in the tub! (Please, watch and see for yourself.) With appearances by Joe Besser as Stinky (a 60 year-old man playing an eight year-old) this is a can't miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD is great, especially with classics, July 16, 2000
By James Arredondo (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I used to own these on VHS, but the DVD really brings back a quality that I have never seen before with these classics. I hope they release all 13 volumes on DVD soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING picture and sound quality !!!, August 12, 2004
I have purchased 4 Abbott and Costello show DVD's and I am very satisfied with the quality. Thank goodness they preserved the original 35mm film masters and were able to use them for this series. When you watch these shows, you feel like you are right there in the rooming house with all the characters and you have Mr Fields as your landlord. The studio which releases them has done a good job of putting the entire series on DVD in a timely fashion and 4 shows on a disc is good value .I sent an Email to Koch Entertainment and asked if they would put all 13 volumes in a special box set so people can save money instead of buying them individually. They sent me an email saying they are in the ealy planning stages of putting out box sets of the series , but that none will be out this year. I didnt want to wait so I went ahead and ordered the rest of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best DVD yet!!
The Abbott & Costello Show is a timeless classic. This DVD holds some of the best shows of that series. "Lou's Birthday" is probably the best episode ever produced. Read more
