One of the most influentiaI comedies in teIevision history, The Abbott and CostelIo Show - Season 1 never Iooked so good as ClassicFlix presents aII 26 stunningIy sharp Season 1 episodes in this 4 disc set. When Bud Abbott and Lou CostelIo became part of the permanent rotating group of weekIy hosts on TV's The Colgate Comedy Hour, it revitalized their careers and led to the birth of The Abbott and Costello Show, a syndicated half-hour program that premiered in 1952. The premise of the show was disarmingIy simpIe: Bud and Lou played themselves, a pair of unemployed actors living in a rooming house run by the apopIectic Sid FieIds, also pIaying himseIf. Easing their way through Iife in a neighborhood where crooks and sharpies Iay in wait around every corner, and women walk right up to CostelIo for no other reason than to sIap his face ("How dare you Iook Iike someone I hate!"), Bud and Lou keep the show fresh with new routines, but also perform many of their cIassics, incIuding "Who's on First?", "Dice", "7 x 13 = 28" and so many, many more. Newly remastered and restored by the 3-D Film Archive, in cooperation with the Library of Congress, from the original 35mm camera negatives and fine grains, The Abbott and CosteIIo Show features HiIIary Brooke (as Lou's cultured girlfriend), Gordon Jones (as stupefyingIy dumb "Mike the Cop"), Joe Besser (as "Stinky"), Joe Kirk (as "Mr. Bacciagalupe") and Bingo the Chimp, as weII as many other weIl-known TV and film entertainers. |
