    At least Abbott and Costello got to meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon. They should have made a movie with the Gill Man before Lou retire due to illness.

    Back when I was kindergarten age I went to a an Abbott and Costello movie (Abbott and Costello Meet Jack in the Bean Stalk) and both Lou and Bud were there promoting the film.
    I got separated from my sister and cried my eyes bloody red. Lou and Bud saw me and came immediately to offer aid and comfort until they could find my sister.
    They were gents and charming guys. Always will cherish that memory .

    I watched many of their movies when I was a child in the late 1960's & early '70's. The ones involving monsters and WW2 were the best, and funniest.The grouchy Bud Abbott was handsome.I watched their cartoon on tv, too.It was in color, and some of those are on You Tube.Same with the cartoon of Laurel & Hardy.I watched it as a kid, and it was in color.I think both cartoons were on TV for 2 seasons.They were funny and good quality.

    Hey, what's wrong with this picture? IMDb says this episode was aired in November 1953. The audience clearly recognizes the creature. However, "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" wasn't released in theaters until March 1954. Explanation please.

    I preferred to have to watch them in their films/movies. Costello doesn't look "right" in this t.v. sketch, even allowing for the quality of early television-recordings: his face looks puffy, jowly, as if he was ill. He could only have been in his forties at the time.
