How many remember these two?

Ray Bradbury short stories

The Laurel and Hardy Alpha Centauri Farewell Tour (circa 2040).

Charming tale of friendship and happiness.

To me, Abbott was always far more abusive of Costello than Hardy was of Laurel. It's like comparing Punch and Judy with Mr. Rogers.

And I'm sorry, but for raw talent and vaudevillian ability I give the nod to Stan and Ollie. They had greater ranges and are more frequently recognized world-wide than Abbott and Costello.

Didn't Costello have epilepsy? Abbott would pretend to punch him to keep his malady hidden from the public.

I still remember the local pizza parlor playing the L&H silent movies.

Never missed these movies at Sat.Arvo flicks

Actually I believe it was Abbott that was epileptic his entire life. Lou had to carry him off the stage on more than one occasion.

There is actually a museum to Laurel and Hardy in Harlem, GA, Oliver Hardy's hometown. It is near me, and an interesting place to visit if you like the two comics.

There's a museum very close to where I live too. It's in the town of Ulverston where Stan Laurel was born. http://www.laurel-and-hardy.co.uk/index.php

Thanks. Been a while since I saw the docu-drama.

L and H were funny, but our gang was more into Abbot and Costello. Ma and Pa Kettle were real popular then too. 3 or 4 of us kids would sit real close to the screen and laugh our heads off. Then someone would break wind and we would all go nuts laughing.

My favorites are the one when they visited Oxford and Stan hit his head and remembered the time when he was one of the professors.

And also the one where they sang Honolulu Baby.
