He also directed many episodes of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and literally hundreds of other sitcom episodes from the 1950s-1980s. | | Replies: 6 | Latest Post: 2/3/12 | Sponsor: Jimmy Finn | | | | | Replies: 0 | Latest Post: 2/2/12 | Sponsor: Jimmy Finn | | | | I have been reading a book on Burns and Allen and the book states that George Burns received $35,000 per show from his sponsor. I have also read that Lou Costello turned down $40,000 per show from Admiral who wanted to sponsor the A&C Television show on a network. Lou wanted $60,000 per show, which he never got and ultimately the show was syndicated and never got the exposure it could have gotten on a steady,weekly time slot.

I did, and, believe me, she is not pretty. I think Irene is married to a guy named Murphy, as in "Murphy's Law." Not a fun day.

As a Catholic, I believe in praying for those who have passed, and often pray for Abbott, Costello and their families. It wasn't until today that I read that Lou's wife, daughter "and" son had died so young. May God Bless all of them, and everyone involved with that movie, for the continued entertainment it has provided me, over the years.

Kevin S.Butler The Reporter. | | Replies: 18 | Latest Post: 1/19/12 | Sponsor: Kevin Butler | | | | Ever think of some new Abbott and Costello films they could do if they were still around? I thought of two, which are great because these films were released by Universal, their main studio.
1. Abbott and Costello in Jurassic Park
2. Abbott and Costello go Back to the Future
| | Replies: 0 | Latest Post: 1/18/12 | Sponsor: stevenackerman69@yahoo.com | | | | What does everyone think of "matting" old films and TV shows? (Without getting into a bunch of 4:3, 1:33:1, 16:9 mumbo jumbo, matting is cutting off the top and bottom of a square-screen film to give it the fake appearance of a rectangular-screen film.) Letterboxing started so that widescreen films wouldn't be pan-and-scan cropped, and now that we've fixed that problem, we've immediately created a new one by doing the same thing to square images! Personally, I hate matting or cropping, and would rather have the black bars at the sides or tops, maintaining the original image in its proper aspect. Maybe it's just me. Any opinions? | | Replies: 6 | Latest Post: 1/18/12 | Sponsor: Lamont Cranston | | | | According to my mom her Uncle Joe Tuohy was a friend of Lou Costello and we have several photos of them together. I think the story was that they were in the same orphanage or boarding house. Would anyone know about their relationship.
