But do you remember when Abbott and Costello met The Creature? Yes, it really did happen, not on the big screen but on live television. On Sunday, February 21, 1954 Abbott and Costello hosted NBC's Colgate Comedy Hour. In a live comedy sketch, devised to promote Universal's newest monster, America witnessed the brief but memorable meeting of Abbott and Costello and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Ben Chapman plays "The Creature" and Glenn Strange as "The Frankenstein Monster". Also starring Norman Abbott (nephew of Bud Abbott). BONUS: Trailers for Abbott and Costello's monster films and Creature from the Black Lagoon films. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A COMPILATION OR A FULL LENGTH MOVIE, THIS IS A TV SHOW. Review: it was a Universal promotion for their newest monster film but more important it was a chance to see two classic comics perform where they did so best.. - What is wrong with people? Is everyone completely insane. This is a very very rare episode from a live TV show from the early 50's. Did people actually think this was going to be a complete show of THE BLACK LAGOON? The problem may be with the advertising but buyers should be aware that this is extremely rare and a chance to see Bud and Lou near the end of their career. Don't buy expecting this to be a monster show.....TV back in those days were not well enough done that they would have time to spend hours in make up for a show that was never intended to be seen again. Yes, it was a Universal promotion for their newest monster film but more important it was a chance to see two classic comics perform where they did so best....before a life audience. If you are not a true fan of Abbott and Costello, have to tolerance for viewing a TV show the way I did during the early days of television, unable to laugh at the antics of one of America's greatest comic teams...then don't buy. A wonderful trip back to the wonderful world of live TV. Review: Must have for your collection - First of all, let me say that the Creature From the Black Lagoon is barely in this. He comes out near the end of Abbott & Costello's skit. You see more of Frankenstein than the Gillman. The good stuff is that the DVD menu has options to watch the whole Colgate Comedy Hour or just the Abbott & Costello segment. Plus it still has the old commercials in it, which I find interesting. Abbott & Costello are still funny and had my wife and I cracking up. I feel like my Abbott & Costello Meet *insert Universal Monster name here* collection is more complete now, other than just having the full length movies. If you're a collector, you're going to want to get this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003RFD4VM | | Actors | Bud Abbott, Joyce Jameson, Lou Costello, Michael Ross, Norman Abbott | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,470 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,298 in Horror (Movies & TV) #4,379 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (641) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.55 x 7.47 x 5.33 inches; 2.08 ounces | | Release date | January 10, 2017 | | Run time | 1 hour and 15 minutes | | Studio | Nastalgia Family Video | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Comedy, Horror - **Number Of Discs:** 1 - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 15 minutes ## Images ![Bud Abbott & Lou Costello Meet the Creature From the Black Lagoon - This is not a full length movie - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61d0l4gplHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it was a Universal promotion for their newest monster film but more important it was a chance to see two classic comics perform where they did so best.. *by D***D on June 12, 2018* What is wrong with people?
