Happy birthday, Bud Abbott!

Stretch goal #3 has just been announced.

Happy B'day Mr Abbott! Bob did the boys foster any anger at the US over their tax - the money they raised for WWII was amazing they should have been honored not ruined! Does the famailies still control the TV show?

The remastered show should be on every station -- heartbreaking their films are not on WPIX Sundays like they were!

The movies are avalable on dvd from any place anywhere,it stands the test of time.

Some of the Kinescopes from the Colgate Comedy Hour shows they have done were shown on some of the retro TV channels.

Some heavily edited (for songs) versions of the Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis shows were released by Mill Creek. I'm assuming Colgate-Palmolive still owns the rights to the shows. Some of the A&C stuff has been released by the public domain companies.

It's funny, every time I watch an Abbott and Costello movie on Blu-ray, it's on a Saturday afternoon, the same way I did when they aired on TV, I guess it will always be continuing tradition.

Lous family does, afteralll it was his production, and Bud was hired by Lou for the tv series.

Our scanning and restoring of Our Gang silent shorts continues.

Below is a clip from the "haunted house" short Fast Freight (1929). While the intertitles were cut (which we'll restore), it's in relatively good condition and is very sharp.

​

ENJOY!

I hope fetv or second guess Tv land might show this,it's an all time classic.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

If they show them, it won't be the new restorations. Those are exclusive to the ClassicFlix release on Blu-ray and DVD.

As someone who's gotten by with bootlegs of this title, all I can say is...

wow.

They're still airing them on the Decades TV Channel from 2:30-3 AM CT Monday through Friday, for those that get that channel like here in Chicago on 26.6

Preston Foster always came across wooden but he had some great career and he kind of grows on you = made a lot of great films
