Abbott and Costello might not have been the most clever or innovative comedians, but their timing was immaculate, their delivery hysterical, and nobody worked a live audience better. Abbott and Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld is a funny and comprehensive look at the world's most renowned comedy duo, with Jerry Seinfeld reverently narrating the amazing team's retrospective. The video chronicles their entire career, from the burlesque stage to becoming Hollywood sensations and beyond. Rare film clips and never-seen-before home movies make this a must-have for the serious collector. Featured in its entirety is their famous "Who's on First" routine, as seen in their classic feature The Naughty Nineties, which still seems as funny and as fresh as it did all those years ago. --Brendan J. LaSalle

This could have been a nice tribute to some cherished comedians, but it fails to live up to its billing. The jacket blurb claims it shows the famous "Who's On First" routine in its entirety.

But the unnecessary and joy-killing laugh track could have been removed for this documentary tribute. ... Read More

"I grew up on these guys," says host Jerry Seinfeld and, for anyone else who did (or wished they did), this is essential Abbott & Costello viewing.
Some of their best routines--including a complete performance of the classic "Who's On First?"--are featured here along with hilarious outtakes from their TV appearances and home movie footage.
This needs to be on DVD!

He isn't the greatest sitcom actor of all time, but he certainly does know how to present a great performance. This also includes the historical performances of Abbott & Costello. From start to finish, using his uncanny style of humour, Jerry presents a story of success, comedy and history in the making. Now documentries aren't really by keg of beer but there is something special and unique about this programme. From the moment I pressed "play", to the closing credits, I got a sense of self assurance ... Read More
