Rating:  - Excellent movies
The quality was great and of course these movies are classics. Don't let the other postings stop you, they are excellent DVD's.
Rating: - What's not to love
It's Abbott and Costello and my small child at home loves these guys, it sure beats a lot of other things he could be watching.
Abbott and Costello meet the Mummy is probably our favoirte in this set. In fact my kid recited a similar pick your pic act on me in the grocery store, I laughed like crazy and he got to pick his pic. Doctor Jekly and Mr. Hyde is a story set up for Abbott and Costello, right, split personailites, Lou sees one thing Bud sees something else. Well the plot is more involved than that. The Keystone Cops was funnier the first time we watched it, now I look at my watch frequently through it, but my son and husband think it's a scream.
As for the Meet Jerry Seinfeld and the other documentaries, I think that they are a nice addition to the last set of the Abbott and Costello movies being released to DVD, if you are a fan of the humor of Abbott and Costello they are worth watching.
Originally this was purchased to get the Mummy, and it was cheaper to buy the set than the inidvidual movie, I'm glad we have it.
Rating:  - Poorly organized boxed set.
My grandkids love the Abbott and Costello movies, especially the "scary" ones. Each time I put the disk into the player, however, I have to guess which movie is on which side. Couldn't the person(s) responsible for creating the boxed set be a little more aware of making the selection easier or at least more apparent? None of my disks are labeled. nor do the boxes state which movie is on which side. You have to wait until the choices come up on the screen, which takes forever, to determine if one must turn over the disk to access your selection. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm fiddling around trying to find the movie when all I want to do is SEE the movie.
Rating: - Abbott and Costello Movies, Vol. 1-4
Abbott and Costello movies are always a treat! My children, ages 6 and 11, love to watch these movies. It doesn't matter to them that the movies are old and black and white - the humor transcends generations. There is nothing like listening to our family laugh constantly throughout each of the movies (we have all four volumes). The simplicity of the humor makes for a night of laughter and fun for our entire family!
Rating: - Great old time family friendly shows
The Best of Abbott & Costello, Vol. 4 (Abbott & Costello Meet Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde / Abbott & Costello Meet the Keystone Cops / Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy / Abbott & Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld / Abbott & Costello Meet the Monsters / The World of Abbott & Costello)
Old time favorite Sunday morning TV show can now be viewed anytime. Had children watch the shows and Wow, the belly laughs were happening. Black and white, no foul language or violence and classic era music makes these DVD's a must for family movie night. Got popcorn?
