Rating: - The best Abbott & Costello Collection out there!!!

To finish off Disc one,an episode of CCH is featured with guest star Charles Laughton,who appeared in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEETS CAPTAIN KIDD (1953).The second disc is four complete episodes of the COLGATE COMEDY HOUR with guest stars Jane Russell,Errol Flynn,Tony Curtis,George Raft,Louis Armstrong,and Rhonda Fleming.All of the shows feature their original sponser ads,including Colgate Toothpaste and Lux Soap to name a few (a bit of nostalgia for TV fans!!) and run close to an hour.Print quality on most of the shows are good,but at times dark,but the audio is great,especially for a early '50's television ...
