Summary: THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY
Review: These days it is very difficult, if not down right impossible to find quality entertainment these days. Especially in the field of comedy. What was once wholesome and good, has been replaced by raunchy and perverted! However, the good people at Universal have realized this, and answered the call. The comedy of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello is absolutly remarkable. They are to comedy what Alfred Hitchcock was to thrillers. The bits that Bud and Lou have featured in their movies will have you splitting your sides. However, up until now, they have been very rare on TV and at the local video store. This collection, vol. 2 contains three of my favorite Abbott and Costello movies: HIT THE ICE
the boys hide out at the Sun Valley ski lodge, while trying to find the bank robbers who framed them. THE NAUGHTY NINETIES
The boys try to help Capt. Sam win back the River Queen showboat, after it is taken by Con Artists. (The film features the enitre Who's On First skit!) THE WISTFUL WIDOW OF WAGON GAP
Lou is acused of killing a man, and must take care of the man's childres and wife. If you are a fan of the simple humor (South Park, The Simpsons, Friends) then you will get a major kick out of these films!

Summary: Abbott and Costello broke the mold!
Review: These DVDs' are top rate quality in packaging and performance! There are movies on here I didn't even know existed and I'm a big fan of Abbott and Costello. The DVDs' have production notes and original theatre trailers! I'm very pleased with volume I and II and would highly recommend them to anyone! My 10 year old girl was laughing so hard at "The Time of Their Lives" I had to quiet her!

Summary: HELD OVER AT AMAZON ABBOTT&COSTELLO VOL 2
Review: THIS IS A GREAT FOLLOW UP SET TO A&C VOLUME 1.ONCE AGAIN THE PICTURE AND SOUND ARE CLEAR AND CRISP,BETTER THAN I REMEMBER THEM BEING ON TELEVISION.NOW I HAVE 8 MORE MOVIES FOR LESS THAN I PAID FOR A&C MEET THE MUMMY,AND I DON'T SEE THIS TITLE OR A&C MEET CAPTAIN KIDD ON VOL 3.SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD MORE ISSUES WITH DISC PROBLEMS,FORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY.AS FOR THE 8 MOVIES ON 2 DISC'S,I AM NOT A FAN OF THIS FORMAT EITHER.BUT IF UNIVERSAL WAS TO RELEASE 8 MOVIES ON 4 DISC'S I IMAGINE IT WOULD DRIVE THE PRICE UP.THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY EXTRA'S TO SPEAK OF,SOME PRODUCTION NOTES AND A FEW TRAILERS.IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE COMMENTARIES FROM A&C FAMILY MEMBERS TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK,GIVEN THE RESURGENCE OF A&C.IF YOUR A FAN OF A&C YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS SET,IT'S PURE FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.A GREAT SOURCE FOR A&C INFO IS THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE www.abbottandcostello.net

Summary: SUNDAY MORNINGS ARE ALIVE AGAIN.
Review: This refers to both Vol 1 and Vol 2.After you watch all of volume 2,start at Vol 1, watch one sometimes two movies every Sunday and before you know it Vol 3 will be released.Other reviews have the set list.There are less trailers probably due to film length.But hey! 8 movies at this price! How can you go wrong? Speaking of Hey(HAY) Why wasn't IT AINT HAY included? According to IMDB it was a Universal release.Someone please let me know.I hope they're wrong (IMDB) that is.Well folks let's not ponder on this.GO! GET THIS SET! The picture is clear and sharp and the sound is good.It's your choice which films you like best and which you like least.But if you remember late Sunday mornings like I do,this set and the previous set is not just a bargain.IT'S A GIFT.

Review: We all know Abbott & Costello, so no more praise needs to be done for their movies. Well... sure it does!!! It's just like you remember going to the movies for a nickel ;-) or on Sunday mornings with your parents/grandparents. The movies have not changed one bit, and they are still the exact same as I remember them. OUTSTANDING job by the studios to release these. (Now I wish they would release Charlie Chan. That is another story.) The only downside to this release, is the DVD themselves. There are two DVDs, with two movies on EACH side. I don't like this. With the "normal" DVD, the top can get scratched, and it will still play. (The laser uses the bottom.) With this style, scratch the top, and you lost two movies. They should have put them on four discs instead of two. Also, I have heard that people have had problems playing these DVDs. I did as well; however, I have to admit, I don't have a top or mid line player. Mine is a basement bargain, and it may be the cause, though, it does play other movies with out problems. Sometimes when I put it in, it reads the movie and other times it does not. Just have to fiddle with it to get it going. And on some, I noticed the color fades in and out. That could be the DVD of the movie itself. Other than that, I am quite thrilled with this release, and I do hope they release all of the Abbott & Costello films, clips, etc soon. And while the studios are reading: Release Charlie Chan and The 3 Stooges!!!!

Summary: vol. 2 Abbott & Costello
Review: Well, I can say for sure is that I am very happy to see Vol. 1,2 and 3 of Abbott & Costello out( vol. 3 this summer). I can now get rid of my video tapes or reuse them. One movie not shown is Jack & the Beanstalk, plus there could be more, forgot how many they made. Great fun & good memories.
