To be honest, you're right. Most would have been content with using the fine grain audio. It would certainly have been easier - and much cheaper. Once we did a test and heard the difference, there was no holding back!

No because the logo was secured by TCA in 1951 when they began syndicating the show. It is present on all of the original 16mm negatives.

John, that issue is addressed in several commentary tracks, I believe ep 6 by Ray Faiola and ep 14 by Ron Palumbo. The opening cue is “Abbott and Costello Main Title” by Raoul Kraushaar, published by Marlen Music.

If you click on episode 20, Hillary’s Birthday, you can watch an alternate edit of the middle stage sequence that runs about 45 seconds longer.

Thank you very much Matt, I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!
