I'm from Canada, but I was lucky enough to be in Florida for vacation with the family when this aired. We were caught in the middle of tropical storm Fay in Cocoa Beach at the time, so the whole family was a captive audience! My 10 year old son actually watched it for a couple of hours and enjoyed it very much, much to my surprise. I have been a Laurel & Hardy fan since the early 70's and they have always been my favorite comedy team. I own quite a collection of their stuff on both VHS and DVD, but still found it very worthwhile re-watching everything TCM aired.
