Home-town Comedians
24 October 2008
I first saw Mack and Myer on WPIX-TV in the New York area back in the '60s and liked them very much. Their work was very much like that of Abbott and Costello, except that Mack and Myer were such kindly folks that their misadventures were more like the kind of thing that Laurel and Hardy would get into (in fact, Stan Laurel contributed to the scripts). Mack and Myer honestly wanted to help people, and in the "Jenny" episode they are willing to go to great lengths to help Jenny get home to Greece; it's a touching episode. There are quite a few episodes that never made it to video; I hope more DVDs will show up some day.
