I watched these as a kid in the 80s. Loved them then, still do and I now appreciate how fit and agile he, and performers of this time were.
Very true.
I remember watching this series weeknights on UK BBC2, around 1986. The narrator is just as funny as the movies.
Fantastic!
I watched them then too. Not sure everyone was a fan of the "narration" though !
For me it was about 1977, fri 6pm BBC2 followed by the the irrepressible ‘Monkey’ another fantastic tv show 🇬🇧❤️
Me too. I had such a crush on him! My ‘geek crush’ started here! x
I also remember this series, especially the shows starting song!
@@jamilhussain5421 me too!
Absolute class comedy and very athletic work by many of the actors not just Harold. You can see how this and other silent comedy influenced the style of later comedians like Benny Hill etc.
I remember watching the show with my younger brother when it was aired in the late 70's on our national TV. It sure brings back memories 😊
I remember watching this show on PBS on Sat. nights when I was a young teen. Became obscessed with it. lol
Magic to see these shows again, well done Dave Glass, this is one of my fav shows from childhood, keep them coming :). BBC2 first broadcast the first of this series on Tuesday 22nd January 1980 at 5.40pm
Thanks. There are more episodes here on my channel if you desire them :)
The very timeslot I remember watching this fantastic series in London. It was my introduction to Harold's work.
There was usually a Laurel & Hardy short just before (or after) Lloyd. Happy days
The late 70's into the 80's there was a revive of the early comedy's silent era, and brought whole new audience to this long forgotten time! Comedy Gold!
I remember watching this back in the late 70' as a kid. Still great!
@jamilhussain5421
I forget eggsactley when it was they used to show them on PBS...
Love them Those days of...
" Ouiet on the set "
I loved this programme
I used to.love watching Harold Lloyd when I was about 6yrs old!!! My.mum used to watch with me and we used to chuckle away at his shenanigans. Loved singing the the theme tune too!
If you search my videos you'll find more episodes.... and there's more to come :)
@@DaveGlass Thankyou!
YAY!!!!! I watched this show when I was a little boy! I still can't get that theme song out of my head, but the comedy was absolute GOLD!
It's an ear worm alright!
Love the comentry/comentator. England, March, 2024.
Remember watching this show while growing up
Loved to watch first time this comedy. Would like to read series.
Thank you so much!!! I remember the TV series back in 80s as a kid, I loved HL and still do!
Yes, Yes.Happy Birthday!
I used to love watching this in the late 70s early 80s us kids loved it and i never used to miss it every night at 5.30pm.
Esa música del inicio 💜💜💜 años deseando escucharla de nuevo💜 mi héroe de niña Harold Lloyd. Gracias!!
Gracias!
Remember watching this with my brother in the early 80's we'd be around 10 and 7 great stuff
I first watched this series way back in 1980, I was 10, really loved & enjoyed it. I still do, and I'm 52 now
Glad you enjoyed it. More episodes available. Links in the description above...
The latter film is quite the family affair, as in it we see both Mildred Davis (Mrs. Lloyd) and Harold's brother Gaylord. Hard to believe these films are as old as they are, as the comic action is so on-point and Harold's character is so timelessly charming!
Well spotted Ms Sherlock! Each time I return to these films they seem to have improved with age :)
@@DaveGlass could you upload anymore episodes please?
Excellent sound!!! You can hear and understand the lyrics!!! Bravo!!!!
Thanks Jason. Hooray!
17:00 Happy Birthday in heaven Mildred.
The narrator is Henry Corden, the voice of Pa Rugg on "the hillbilly bears", Fred Flintstone on "the Flintstones" and Jeannie's dad on "I dream of Jeannie"
No way! I can hear a little bit of Fred Flintstone only after you mentioned it.
I love the 1 one reelers the most.
He is the true king of all times of physical comedy. Sebastien Maniscalco may be the king as of current year 2022, but Harold Lloyd is the king of all time. IMHO he is funnier than Charlie Chaplin. I've seen his silent movies many times and they never, never, never, never, never grow old.
Awesome ❤️ 💯 👌
I love why pick on me (october 13,1918) without a doubt one of his fastest and funniest shorts one two or three reels!!!!!!.
You can see how talented and well rehearsed they all are. They used to show this in 1980s in the UK on BBC2. When were the actual silent films recorded?
The films themselves were made in the late teens/20s.
Again a terrific episode...thank You very much David!
Harold Lloyd was very athletic and acrobatic, made many stunts himself, an enthusiastic David Sharpe(an acrobatic Stuntman himself, known for his famous Stunts in Republic Serials) told an interviewer. I think like the acrobatic Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd was also an Idol for David Sharpe, whose films he watched, admired and wanted to do the same and from them he learned these stunts. Luckily in later years(I think in the 30s) he doubled Harold, he even shaved his hair to look like Harold`s.
Why bbc not showing him,he was a genius.
I have mixed feelings about the narrator. Sometimes he is helpful to clarify what's happening to the modern day viewer; other times he is just irritating!
Yes, irritating. As soon as he said "and my Aunt Sadie", on top of the Brooklyn and Catskills accent I tuned him out. Really? Harold's comedy is about as far from the dialogue jokes, often ethnic (I know-I saw the last throes of that scene) Catskills tradition as you can get. Why was this narrator chosen?
The scripts were written by Peter Durston and the narrator was Henry Corden (best remembered for voicing Fred Flintstone in the cartoons). Time-Life's features were shown with the intertitles but this TV series was aimed at prime time audiences and when it was broadcast in the 70s and 80s it certainly won over a young generation. Kudos to the music composer Don Hulette. I'm sure it's a generation thing...as a kid coming up in the early 80s this TV show was like sunshine.
It teaches you to never talk down to the audience.
I watched it with my mum and had such a crush on him! I think that’s why my type is ‘geeky’!! x
This episode features the HL films “Why Pick On Me?” (1918) and “His Royal Slyness” (1920).
Ah, les séries! Merci beaucoup RUclips!
Es lo máximo, lo mejor de lo mejor, para Latinoamérica la serie comenzó en 1981 con el inigualable Jorge Lapuente como narrador que le daba a la serie su magia sonora, gracia y jocosidad sin igual y por supuesto la música de fondo perfecta y necesaris para formato de serie de televisión.
Thank you.
I’m agreeing with previous comments And commentators. BBC 2. Loads of fun during the week. Not sure what day.
It is amazing how I feel as kids we appreciated entertainment from the past. I suppose because the content wasn’t there but entertainment from the past was a staple which I feel is a bit lost on young’uns today
It is a big deal to watch movies from the past now that we grew up on
Tremendo programa sano ,divertido y clásico porque será que todo lo puedo ya no lo pasan en la tv y ahí están todos en internet ....
Agreed! :)
apparently harold lloyd himself hated this tv series, but it introduced an entire new generation (including me) to his movies.
Impossible. This series was recorded after his death.
@@TallSilentGuy sorry yes (i just checked wikipedia) - maybe i read it about some earlier re-release.
This is so wonderful. I've loved the time live television version mostly due to the accompanying music. Just tops class. Snub Pollard is highly underappreciated. Any chance you have 'ask father'?
Is that Snub Pollard with the mustache in the beginning having the slap fight?
Yep. Snub's in both films.
A true early great comedy actor, plus his stunts were inspired by people like Jackie chan!
Hi there🌻✌️I think you have it backwards . Mr. Chan was not even born yet .. Jackie Chan🎇💘🌹 worked with Bruce Lee🎇🙏🕯️🌹💐😔..🏆🎓🤴🏼..💘🥋..🗿 as an extra in a few of Lee's films , and was good friends with Mr. Lee., who taught Mr. Chan a lot of his teachings .. Harold Lloyd inspired and taught many also .. Perhaps Jackie got ideas from Harold Lloyd's style , but I doubt Mr. Lloyd was Mr. Chan's only inspiration . just my humble opinion..☺️
Lmao I’m trying my best not to laugh hard but Harold Lloyd was wacky
.....É muito bom... muito engraçado!
Hi can anybody point me in the right direction started collecting harold lloyd shorts and films I've got the definitive edition, spectacles and smiles treasury and harold lloyd with friends. Just wondering is there any other dvds with shorts and films that arn't on them dvds I've stated?
