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 weekly 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 simple: Bud and Lou played themselves, a pair of unempIoyed actors Iiving in a rooming house run by the apoplectic Sid Fields, aIso playing himself. Easing their way through life in a neighborhood where crooks and sharpies lay in wait around every corner, and women waIk right up to Costello for no other reason than to slap his face ("How dare you look like someone l 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 cuItured girIfriend), Gordon Jones (as stupefyingly dumb "Mike the Cop"), Joe Besser (as "Stinky"), Joe Kirk (as "Mr. BacciagaIupe") and Bingo the Chimp, as welI as many other weII-known TV and fiIm entertainers. |
