| Hi guys, no time no speak! I've taken some time out this weekend (it's bank holiday over here) and created a new A&C trailer.

WHERE were you living when ABBOTT AND COSTELLO first came into your living rooms on TV (of course and in your hearts) and where are you now? The state, if you don't want to mention the city, would be fine. | | Replies: 32 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: Mark from Paterson New Jersey | | | | Does anyone know how the first season of the TV Show was originally led into? I mean prior to 1978, which is when I assume the present music and mosaic of movie clips plus credits was added? (I assume this from observing the "copyright 1978" clearly printed on the screen...) I mean, did an announcer say, "next, the Abbott & Costello Show!" or did they just appear on the screen with no warning (but then, who wouldn't have known who they were back 1952 or 1953?) | | Replies: 7 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: CustardTheDragon | | | | If any of the studios (Universal, Warner, MGM) were to re-release some of the A&C movies, what would everyone's ideal bonus features be?? | | Replies: 5 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: A&C Fan | | | | I THOUGHT THE ARTWORK OF THE NEW QUARTERLY WAS GREAT,,,,ANYONE KNOW WHO DID IT? | | Replies: 1 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: HEY ABBOTT | | | | Today's Brain Teaser: What scenes can you name from the Abbott and Costello movies and TV shows ( including Colgate) where Bobby Barber and Joe Kirk are in the same scene? | | Replies: 0 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: Joseph M. | | | | Which movie has the midget car racers ? | | Replies: 18 | Latest Post: 5/8/08 | Sponsor: rkmartin53@juno.com | | | | Here's a trivia question for the board: what routines were done in the movies and/or Colgate that did NOT get done in the TV Show?

I did allow the legitimate one to be posted. | | Replies: 3 | Latest Post: 5/7/08 | Sponsor: Joseph M. | | | | In Who Done It, there is a scene between Lou and the usher, who "got it over on Lou" by drinking orange juice faster than he can make it and by getting Lou's tickets to Murder at Midnight. But after Lou gets rooked out of his tickets, he tells the usher "this is the third time" he has been tricked by the usher today. I count only two. Am I missing one, or was one left on the cutting room floor? | | Replies: 14 | Latest Post: 5/6/08 | Sponsor: Lou Abbott | | | | So, we're meeting again in the merry month of May at Polo. Pick a date and we're off in a bunch! (IT AIN'T HAY joke) -Last time around we had close to ten or a dozen, let's keep it going and I can get us upstairs to carry-on all we all we want. This is our official watering-hole meeting spot as it were and we have a grand time - You guys call it and I'll call the boss | | Replies: 13 | Latest Post: 5/6/08 | Sponsor: Shorty | | | | I recently read the book, The Abbott&Costello Story-60 Years Of Who's On First by Stephen Cox and John Lofflin. I found the book, for the most part, to be very good. But there is always something that confounds me. It's when they interview people that the Boys worked with. When they talk about Lou, I would say 8 times out of ten, people say how funny and sweet he was, but then you get the other 2 and it's like they worked with a totally different person. In the book, they speak to Robert Easton who played Luke McCoy in Comin' Round The Mountain. He said that Bud was very professional, always gentlemanly and friendly. But Lou was unpredictable and moody. He claims that Ida Moore, who plays Granny in the film, told him to watch out because Lou doesn't like it if your too funny and that your part may be cut down because of it. He said this confused him because he worked with Jack Benny, Milton Berle and Red Skelton and they were all very unselfish. Then there was the relationship between Lou and Bobby Barber. Mr. Easton claims that Lou would send him on meaningless errands and that the way Lou treated him was very disturbing, bordering on sadistic. constantly poking him and tripping him, being very demeaning.This struck a chord with me because earlier in the book, he quotes an artist named Phil Cambridge, who was a friend of director Ed Wood. Mr. Cambridge said, Ed told me that Lou, unlike the personable little guy he played, was an s.o.b. in person and hated Bud and everyone else. He said that Lou had a "chauffeur" named Bobby Barber, and would always humiliate this guy whenever he was angry, he would kick or hit him,whatever he felt like doing. One day he handed Bobby a bar of soap and made him eat it. Because of my love of A&C, this really bothers me. I've heard the stories of Shemp Howard saying that Lou had all his funny stuff cut from the films, but then why were they so friendly and why did Shemp work with them for so long? I find it all very confusing.

Rio Rita I like best of their MGM films and can't wait to get this one on DVD. And even though Captain Kidd is not their best film by a long shot, having this color gem restored on DVD is an Abbott & Costello dream come true. Lets hope these releases are not to far away......... | | Replies: 15 | Latest Post: 5/3/08 | Sponsor: Ken | | | | Notice some of the incidental music on the Beaver shows were also incorporated in the A&C shows.

| | Replies: 5 | Latest Post: 5/2/08 | Sponsor: dahatman | | | | Bud Abbott also personified the 'everyman' in all human conditions. His was the 'voice of reason', 'voice of doom', seemingly always the 'voice of the rational'. With his ever-present hat and suave demeanor, he easily cajoled anyone within the sound of that voice. One couldn't help but be drawn in to listen. Bud's manner was silky-smooth, his personality strong and vibrant. He will always be our friend. We love you Bud and remember you on the anniversary of your passing | | Replies: 10 | Latest Post: 5/2/08 | Sponsor: Shorty | | |
