Fine legacy for kids & kids of all ages to get a taste of A&C

The first time I saw these I was in middle-school (like 6th grade if I remember) being run (for me anyway) the first time (since they were prod. 20 years before I saw them in the late '60s and I was thrilled to see them and have been obsessed as to why they are no longer shown nor even on video (DVD or VHS!) Hanna-Barbara had a plethora of cartoon series and this is an unheralded gem that s/b released or at the very least re-surfacing on The Cartoon Network. A fine legacy of Abbott & Costello for kids & kids of all ages to get a taste of the great comic team. Although Lou's death nearly a decade earlier, Stu Irwin captures his spirit and Bud's gravelly trademark delivery is sharp & fun to see in action.
