What a great series of movies. I rented a disc full of Francis the Talking Mule movies recently. Donald O'Connor as Peter Sterling, and of course Chill Wills providing the voice of "Francis".
They just don't make'em like that now. Comedy, without all the profanity.

Now that I have a hundred cable channels, I've got very little to watch! Other than a few documentary channels and a retro (old show) channel, most of the programming seems to be oriented to those on the left side of the bell curve. Given that, I find that I'm buying a lot of these older movies and programs to view in the evening or on a slow Sunday afternoon.
Oh yeah, (yuck, yuck, yuck) seems I noticed the "Three Stooges" DVD at Borders Book Store last week.

A, Buck Private
B, In the Navy
C,Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion
D, ....And my favorite,....Keep 'Em Flying....done in 1941.
Here's a link to where one can purchase various collections of past comedians,....on the Silver Screen and TV.

Francis the Mule ! Good Stuff (have the DVD's) ! Also a favorite, the Ma and Pa Kettle films !
"Hornets by mandate, Tomcats by choice!"
Speaking of Ma and Pa Kettle, here is a great example of the wonderful humor in their films. In this You Tube clip, the hilariously funny couple are demonstrating their knowledge of math.....

And here's more funny stuff. This is a You Tube clip of Lou Costello showing his mathmatical prowess to Bud Abbott and a fellow shipmate (who happens to be Shemp from the Three Stooges).
