bud and lou as a fan of everything bud and lou did together i enjoyed watching season two as i have not seen it since the seventies, and i do recommend it to other fans.i do however want to state that is not as funny as season one was but what the heck it sure beats anything on tv these days. thanks
Very Funny!!!! My Dad loves this. It has all the classics from their tv show. It is hilarious!
I remember.......... I can remember growing up in New York City in the early seventies... It was a different time then, no home video games, no cable, and rotary phones. My house had a black and white television that needed a pair of pliers to change the channel. But on that old black and white tv, every sunday, was abbott and costello, and it were those two characters that made me understand that laughter was a cure all for sadness and medicine for the soul. Of course there movies were great! "Abbott and costello meets frankenstein", "Mexican hayride", "Buck Privates"...but The Abbott and Costello Show was something else. Mr Fields the landlord. Mike the cop, the italian guy..Mr. Bachagaloop!( if thats how you spell his name!!)..the characters were hilarious, the laughs on their tv show was non-stop..no i mean it! NON-STOP! No musical interludes like their movies, no plot build ups...just a snowball of craziness that kept rolling on. So i recently stumbled upon amazon about a year ago....and there I discovered this treasure. You cant get a better deal with anything, i truly believe that, five dvds, and each dvd has about five half hour episodes without the commercials..so there is no time to catch your breath between laughs. The transfer is very very clear, with good sound even though once every long while the sound goes down a tiny bit. The extras are a heart felt touch with the home movies, and the interviews with Costello's daughters. Im gonna stop running my mouth now people. This box set had me hysterical, and once again I felt the medicinal effects of laughter healing me....I honestly wish that there was some way I could go back in time and thank the two comedians for helping me make it through those tough times... Thank you Bud and Lou
Funny, but not as good as season one. The true A&C fans will still like season 2, but it is not as good as season one. It lacks the enthusiasm of the first group of supporting actors. It is almost subdued compared to season one. Even the opening credits song is lackluster. A&C themselves did not seem as energetic about this season. Maybe it was because so many of the supporting cast had left.
The bonus material is excellent however, as his two living daughters share a treasure of family movies as well as talking about their family lives. Again, true fans will like this. All in all it's worth it to own both seasons just to have the complete set.
Bud & Lou never better......... Bud & Lou live on in this collection. Introduce a new generation to their comedy with this dvd
