5.0 out of 5 stars Another Bargain! Worth it for the Bonus Features Alone!, Oct 3 2006
By Steves - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Abbott & Costello Show 100th Anniversary Collection - Season Two (DVD)
I know a lot of people prefer the episodes of Season One to those of Season Two and I think I miss some of the "stock company" that didn't return for Season Two, but there are still laughs to be had in Season Two and, of course, the rapport between Bud and Lou remains unshakable. Since the show only lasted two seasons, this completes the set. As with the Season One package, the generous Bonus Features are astonishing. The candid interviews with Chris and Paddy Costello cover a lot of subjects not contained in the Season One interviews, like goofing around on the Universal lot when they were kids, the Bud/Lou chemistry, their breakup, home life, etc. And, as before, amazing home movies - some sound, most color - from the '40s and '50s. Lou Costello's love for his family is palpable in the footage of his kids' birthday parties over the years. It's truly a rare glimpse into a legendary star's family life, away from the (studio) cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Shows With Simple Plots: Great Entertainment For Mother in Law with Alzheimer's, July 24 2007
By B "spikedude" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Abbott & Costello Show 100th Anniversary Collection - Season Two (DVD)
I've been a fan of Abbott and Costello for years. I haven't watched these classic televison shows in a long time. Now that I'm helping my wife care for her mother with Alzheimer's I need to have something we can watch together that isn't confusing for her (her short term memory is very bad). The moment I put on one of these DVDs it brings a big smile to her face and mine for the next 2+ hours. These shows almost always take away any bad mood she may have.

3.0 out of 5 stars As Much As I Hate To Say It...., Dec 13 2006

This review is from: The Abbott & Costello Show 100th Anniversary Collection - Season Two (DVD)
As much as I hate to say this, this is not A&C's best work. I grew up on the A&C TV show as well as their many movies on the weekends (along with The Bowery Boys, New York City 1970's television, remember that time?). I have watched a bunch of the season one set and loved it. Some of the skits are a little long but this is fast paced Abbott and Costello, and the supporting players are great escpecially Sidney Fields, Mike The Cop, and Stinky (Joe Besser). I've only watched a few of season two's episodes so far, and maybe its because I'm viewing these shows to many too fast, but season two has a much different feel than season one. The writing credits are also changed as Sidney Fields got all the credit in season one and season two he either shares or is not listed at all. Anyway, this is what I notice in season two, a heavy reliance on slapstick, not many jokes. The show, dare I say it, got lazy. Maybe they were shooting for a pre teen demographic and I think the 3 Stooges were having their resurgance, I don't know. I do know that season one is more like the radio show they did, a lot of good dialog, season two has yet to show me much. Get it for your collection, I'll always be a big A&C fan, when they were at their top they were the best. This set though rates a 3 of 5.
