I remember it watching when I was a kid. What was funny is that poor Costello always was in a mess and shouting to his buddy, Abbott.
The first time I saw these I was in middle-school (like 6th grade if I remember) being run (for me anyway) the first time (since they were prod. 20 years before I saw them in the late '60s and I was thrilled to see them and have been obsessed as to why they are no longer shown nor even on video (DVD or VHS!
When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities.
