Movie Description:
The Abbott and Costello TVshow is timeles American humor,as fresh today as it was 40 years ago. All the classic routines which "the boys" performed onfilm, radio and stage, were captured in 1952-1953 for the new medium of television and delivered at the peak of their powers. The regular cast of characters, including Mr. Fields, Mike the Cop, Stinky, Bacciagalupe and Hillary, had worked with Bud and Lou on film andstage and each contributed memorably. These shows stand todayas perhaps the finest surviving representation of the art of burlesque comedy.
