This is a timeless classic. I never much had the patience for their movies, but the TV series was a scream and a howl. I always looked forward to watching the episodes on TV while growing up. I only wish now I had pulled the trigger while Season One was still available. The video and audio quality is outstanding. I urge all fans to get this.

Watching these DVDs will make you laugh out loud. What my suprise you is that it would appear this show inspired some of the most popular and long running sit-coms that we watch today. The build up to total bedlam by as all the subplots come together for one calamitous ending.

I was extremely disappointed with this dvd set. The picture quality leads me to believe the dvd's were poorly recorded. I should've sent them back. I have the same set in vhs format that I've had for many years, and they are of much better quality. I wanted the dvd set for their convenience, but I am really sorry I purchased them.

I did not like most of these shows. Missing are the curtain-comments, background music, most of the clever endings (or even endings at all), and any sympathetic characters--although ironically, from time to time Abbott expresses more brotherly concern for Costello than I've ever seen. And Costello usually comes to a bad end, which is never funny to me.
Grousing aside, there are a few good episodes. Two are of vintage quality: the "Uncle From New Jersey" and "Barber Lou" are worth getting the set for. Throw in "The Tax Return" with "Car Trouble", and you've got a nice hour and half of solid A&C story-telling, so it's worth the money.
Unfortunately, Passport uses some over-exposed prints, so much of the time the actors' faces are bleached out. They also have a main menu with stupid music (note to all DVD producers: please stop doing this. Menus should be no-nonsense.). By the way, the laugh-track sounds like children who are actually reacting to the characters' antics, sometimes even commenting on them. Maybe the director showed the completed movies to a real kids-audience, and recorded their live responses? The result is not so bad as I was expecting.
