Anyone else like Abbott and Costello movies? I have them all and watch them fairly often.

HeyyyyyyYAbbbott...

actually I have all of their movies,tv shows and radio programs !

I've been watching their movies and listening to their radio programs since I was a kid.

Im not a big A&C fan. I much prefer the marx brothers, three stooges, especially w.c fields.

What movies did W C Fields do that you really liked ?

International House is my favorite, though The Bank Dick is a close second.

I havent seen any of thier shows in awhile :(

I do miss the weekends when the three stooges and maybe and A & C movie would be on. True with dvd's being out there anyone can watch what they want when they want to but I wish the classic's were still on tv more.

I feel that a lot of newer shows are crap. It slowly seems to be getting more violent, sexual, and more drugs and in my opinion some new comedies are just idiots acting like idiots. A & C , and the three stooges may not take genius to understand but is not the same stupidity as what we see today. This is my opinion and if I am wrong please feel free to give examples of good current comedy.

I rather like the Big Bang Theory. Its not drug related, bathroom humor or overtly sexual. For the most part its clean and cute. With a bit of intelligence behind it.

That show comes on when I am at work , but your right, I have seen it when I was on vacation and loved it. It is one show I can get into. reality tv is not for me either. maybe I am just getting too old.....

I'm Batman!

The thing about so many of TV shows today is that they keep trying to "Out-Cool" all the other shows, & sometimes the "Humour" goes right over me punkin' head, 'cause I ain't exactly up on all the precious stuff all the precious twenty/thirtysomethigs are "Hip" too...A&C, the Stooges, Marx bros, all the older guys you DIDN'T need to be Tracically Hip to understand it all.

I tend to read this threads title and think of AC like what is available at most power outlets then I remembered the following......10,000 volts, that is enough to elect a guy president!--->A & C

here, i have some abbott & costello movis, i like alot of the older movies .i like the old si-fi movies, i remember growing up on sat. night we could pick up creature feature out of chicago with a 50 foot tower adjusted just right , and stay up watching anything that would come on till mom was going to kill us . that was on a 60's color roundie tv .

Everybody knows "Who's on first" but I must not have watched enough A&C, because someone at work just told me about this one:

"Take this jar and give it to Mel to hide!"
"What's in it?"
"It's formaldehyde!"
"I know it's for Mel to hide, but what's in it?"
[and so on....]

Also, recently in the Big Nate comic strip there was a nod to A&C:
The paper misspelled his name "Not Wright," then "Knot Wright," after which he called them to say "Wright is right, it's Knot that's not," etc...
His friend, overhearing the phone call, says "Who's on first?"
Nate: "What?"
Friend: "Second base!"
