This review is from: The Best of Abbott & Costello, Vol. 2 (Hit the Ice / In Society / Here Come the Co-Eds / Naughty Nineties / Little Giant / Time of Their Lives / Buck Privates Come Home / Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap) (DVD)

I loved all the movies. My favorites being The Naughty Nineties, and In Society. I remember all of them from when I was a child, and they were wonderful to get to watch all over again on DVD. I didn't notice any quality issues with my set, I must've gotten lucky this time around.

I was just reading that Vol 3 comes out on 8/3/04
Featuring:
Disc 1:
Meet Frankenstein
Mexican Hayride
Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff
In the Foriegn Legion

Disc 2:
Meet the Invisible Man
Comin' Round the Mountain
Lost in Alaska
Go to Mars

I can't wait to add those to my collection. Abbott and Costello are my favorite comedians of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars HERE COMES THE COMEDY !, July 19 2004

This review is from: The Best of Abbott & Costello, Vol. 2 (Hit the Ice / In Society / Here Come the Co-Eds / Naughty Nineties / Little Giant / Time of Their Lives / Buck Privates Come Home / Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap) (DVD)

This is a great follow up set to the "Abbott & Costello" Volume 1 DVD release from Universal Studios. Once again the picture and sound are clear and crisp and better than I remember viewing on any television broadcast. I now have 8 more movies in my collection for less than I paid for the "Abbott & Costello meet the Mummy" DVD, and I don't see that title or Abbott & Costello meet Captain Kidd on the scheduled volume 3 DVD release.

As with volume 1 some reviewers have had more quality issues and disc problems, fortunately I haven't had any so far. As for putting 8 movies on 2 discs, I am not a big fan of this format either. But I think if Universal Studios was to release 8 movies on 4 discs it would definitely drive the price up. There really aren't any bonus extra's to speak of, except for some production notes and a few trailers. It sure would be nice to have commentaries from surviving Abbott & Costello family members to hear their thoughts on one of the best comedy teams ever created.

Through the magic of DVD media and these fantastic volumes, new legions of fans are discovering "Abbott & Costello" for the first time. If your a fan of Abbott & Costello or have never seen their films you need to buy this set. These movies are hilarious and pure fun for the whole family. If you're looking for more Abbott & Costello news and information on upcoming Abbott & Costello releases visit their official website. Until the studio releases these movies on single discs in a deluxe box set, this is the only way to go.

-Production notes for: Hit the Ice / In Society / Here Come the Co-Eds / The Naughty Nineties / Little Giant / Buck Privates Come Home / The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap

5.0 out of 5 stars a classic and classy duo
I grew up watching Abbott & Costello with my father and I very much so think that today's comedien's do not compare when it comes to beautiful slapstick comedy. Read more
