The Best of the Best

"Here it is, the greatest Comedy Team the US ever produced in 8 DVDs of their best Burlesque routines turned into a Television series way ahead of its time. I was a TV baby boomer of the late fifties and early sixties absorbing genres which would eventually become my escapes throughout my life to the present day. A show called 'Million Dollar Movie' was broadcast on WORTV Channel 9 in the New York area and would start at 11:00am and last the whole day until the 11:00 News at night. They would show one film a week 5 times a day. I saw the best Horror , Science Fiction, westerns and comedies and was able to watch them over and over again (with commercial interruption of course). One week they showed 'RIDE EM' COWBOY' which introduced me to Bud Abbott and Lou Costello for the first time and they warped my mind forever. Little did I realize that I was watching vintage Burlesque routines from their road shows which were adapted to their films and made them the biggest Box Office attraction during the war time years. While this was happening, WPIX Channel 11 showed 'THE ABBOTT AND COSTELLO SHOW'. Now I got to see A & C all the time all though I noticed they were a bit older but the TV show was not bogged down with musical numbers, sappy romantic interludes, or dramatics. It was straight A & C. Now, EI Entertainment has taken those wonderful memories and preserved them forever in this classic box set. It comes with an excellent booklet with backgrounds on the cast and brings out an important element, Lou Costello knew that the Television medium was important to preserve their classic routines for future generations. I hope he knows that he was right on the money. The quality for early TV is outstanding with crisp sound and clear picture throughout. Buy this set and laugh as you've never laughed before and see the true genius of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It doesn't get any better than this."
