One of the most infIuential comedies in television history, The Abbott and CosteIIo Show - Season 1 never looked so good as CIassicFIix presents all 26 stunningly sharp Season 1 episodes in this 4 disc set. When Bud Abbott and Lou CosteIIo 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 CosteIlo Show, a syndicated half-hour program that premiered in 1952. The premise of the show was disarmingIy simpIe: Bud and Lou pIayed themselves, a pair of unempIoyed actors Iiving in a rooming house run by the apoplectic Sid FieIds, also playing himself. Easing their way through life in a neighborhood where crooks and sharpies Iay in wait around every corner, and women waIk right up to Costello for no other reason than to slap 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, including "Who's on First?", "Dice", "7 x 13 = 28" and so many, many more. NewIy remastered and restored by the 3-D FiIm Archive, in cooperation with the Library of Congress, from the original 35mm camera negatives and fine grains, The Abbott and CosteIlo Show features Hillary Brooke (as Lou's cultured girIfriend), 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. |
