The Abbott and Costello Show featured their comedy in a variety-show-with-guests format. Character actors such as Mel Blanc (Jack Benny Show, The Mel Blanc Show), Sid Fields (who worked with them on their TV show), and vocalists Connie Haines and Marilyn Maxwell were regulars. Abbott & Costello publicity shotThe Orchestra was under the baton of the swing-associated leaders Skinnay Ennis and then Will Osborne.It was a raucous show, as well it should be with these guys. Abbott and Costello were never known for droll or witty humor. The boys stormed Hollywood, doing films along with their radio work, and were a natural for that "idiot box" called TV. Before they were done with radio, however, they did a kiddy show in the late 1940's called The Abbott and Costello Children's Show. It was not quiet or refined either, and the kiddies loved it. |
