Yes, I'm 79 years young and I really do miss 😢 all of the old comedies like the Bowry Boys, The Dead-end Gang and of course the Little Rascals. Great memories and of course Great acting 👏. Really appreciate your work. Keep bringing back memories of our pass.
I remember the bowery boys.. loved that gang. FUNNY 😁 Thanks for telling us all the other fims, etc, he was in. Wow, when you saw ONLY ... very close to my age. Keep finding and telling us about more actors and actresses. 👍
Thanks Steve. Huntz was priceless, remember him well. They probably said with a big nose like his, he'd make a good bloodhound... he could track the animals by scent. With a nose like that, he probably hunts...
I remember watching the Bowery Boys on KBHK 44 in San Francisco back in the day. It was a Saturday afternoon staple along with Abbott & Costello, Shirley Temple, and the Marx Brothers. Satch Jones was the clown or buffoon of the group. Leo Gorcey was Slip Mahoney, who had that East Coast accent. All though the actors have passed away over the years. They left us a legacy we will enjoy for years to come.
I am a Bowery Boys addict. I have all the movies on DVD. I also love Dead End Kids. I have Angeles With Dirty Faces on DVD and l once had They Made Me a Criminal. Great acting. Wonderful movies and memories.
As a kid growing up in a small mid-western town in Nebraska, I always looked forward to the Bowery Boys movies with Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall (Satch) and the rest of the gang coming to our local movie theatre.
Hot damn!!! I was just thinking of that 'Flipper' episode, when you brought it up😲!!! Loved ALL phases of the boy's, from 'Dead End Kids', 'East Side Kids', and 'Bowery Boys'.
Hi Steve, thanks for another great trip down memory lane. Used to love watching Huntz Hall in the Bowery Boys when I was growing up. What a great name he had in the series, Horace Debucey Jones. Often use that as an alias when putting my name on a waiting list at a restaurant!
They showed The Bowery Boys almost every Sunday in the Cincinnati area. Watched them every chance!! 78 and had such a successful career? Not a bad run if you ask me.
In the 1960s and 70s, I watched the Bowery Boys on TV in New York. When I lived in Boston, I did my best to pull in the Boys when a Springfield station showed their pictures late at night. I met Huntz Hall at an autograph session on Long Island. My movie poster was the first one he signed. He used ink, then realized he should have done it in Sharpie. Then, he signed it again in Sharpie, over the inked signature. In a raspy voice, he told me, "You've got a Picasso. I did it wrong." A nice guy.
Most of these commenters must be a lot younger than me. I saw them in a movie theater in my home town in the 40s & 50s. Not on TV re-runs. So I am 85 years old. :)
Thanks. If you were a boy in the 1960s, kids TV was a steady diet of Bugs Bunny, The Three Stooges, Popeye and The Bowery Boys. There were others to be sure (Little Rascals) but I'm sure I watched more of those 4 than anything else.
Hi Steve . Good to see you again !! I watched a lot of Bowery Boys Movies when I was a kid . Especially on Saturday afternoons when there would be Bowery Boys Marathons running on a couple of different TV Channels . I'm talking about back in the late '60's and early '70' s . We didn't have a Color TV back then so we were happy as heck to have a TV at all . Huntz and Leo made a great Team on Film . And I had no idea that they were in a Movie with James Cagney ! That's definitely big time !! This is another great Video Steve . Oh , btw , the Gibson SG behind your right shoulder , do you play a lot or just when the mood strikes you ?
My cousin married his nephew. I got to meet him when he was around 70. I was about 28. He was still funny. Many of his mannerism's were how he was. Real nice man. I could do that cheek flap thing he did and I did it for him and he did it back! We both had a good laugh. Like your show but don't have a sad ending ok?
Watched all of our boys movies. Specially, Satula Louis Louis sweet shop. Yeah, my favorite one was dig that uranium. Yeah that’s delicious. Very very good. Still try to watch them as I can about Reece Rush was another good one. Yeah excellent excellent entertainment.😊
We didn't know them here in Louisiana. As the dead end kids. They were bowery boys And I love them. Slip, Zach.whity And don't forget louie dembowski The soda jerk
His son, Gary Hall, was the Episcopal leader of the National Cathedral, in Washington, D.C. ``Huntz`` was a German slur back then, especially for someone with a big nose. I guess nowadays, it would be politically incorrect to say such things.
My brother & I would watch them every weekend. I think the later films weren't as good. Huntz Hall played well off of Leo Gorcey. They could have made a comedy team in their own right.
Actually he made a lot of money (oil?) and he was the only one to own a piece of the show and he got residuals for the rest of his life and he was wealthy.
Yes, and dubitably and absolutely Hansell was probably one of the most intelligent of all the Bowery boys next to Leo Corsi they say long knows is the sign of intelligence I believe that to be in certain countries they have contest to see, whose knows is the longest and they give a prize for the longest nose in the country unsold deserves that kind of prize. I don’t know why they call them hunts. He had a nose like a hunting dog it was so big, I had a friend name KELLY when I went to Saint Francis prep high school in Brooklyn was DOG because KELLY had a big nose just like KELLY had a big nose just like hunts did the funniest part of the dead end kids was the vocabulary. I remember when I was a kid of Leo Corsi used to go to court. He would talk to the judge like a lawyer and say things like we are doubly doubly into the mere fact that this child has a brain allergy of a lentil proceeding the characteristics of a complet nincompoop that was how I used to emulate my childhood after Leo I even wore his signature hat for quite a while, walking around the neighborhood, thinking I was Leo, but those days are over but we will never forget the funny laughs and great times all the dead and gang Bow boys who knows I may turn out to be drunk and wind up on the bow myself someday ha ha ha
