Ah ha. Shows it's not nice to come in at the tail end of a long board conversation. Thanks for the reference. Least I know now it wasn't my DVD recorder being temperamental.
Speaking of B.B. in general, after reading over some of the pages of the past here on the board it looks like some don't really like some of the movies and do like others. While I admit all of them are not comedy jewels, I do find them all very ejoyable and most times very funny. The most negative thing I can think to say is I remember watching some and thinking it was going on too long. Must have been bad then, I suppose, since they're all just a little over an hour anyway. But generally speaking, I like all the late 1940's thru the 1950's Bowery Boys movies. No, I can't say I really like the early East Side Kids movies, the ones before 1946, I believe is the magic year when they changed their names to the Bowery Boys and located themselves in Louis's Sweet Shop. The Louis, Sach, & Slip movies of the '50's are my absolute favorites. Even the semi-bad ones are still a joy for me to watch, if not for anything but for Louis's reactions and Slips malapropisms. They will always save even the worst BB movie. The early East Side Kids movies were too serious and depressing for me to say I enjoy them. I like comedies to be funny, not preach social commentary at me. Anyway, the later Bowery Boys were the best, funny a team that got better with age, now you can't say that about any other comedy team I can think of. Well, come to think of it, Abbott & Costello's 50's TV shows were much funnier than their '40's movies and 1000 times funnier than their unbearalby unfunny radio shows.
