What Laurel & Hardy films were they? Silent or sound shorts, Hal Roach features, Fox features?

[Kelly]

OH Jim they are Hal Roach studios they mix in other film features they usually short the 3 of them sometime they have little special almost end of the programs

I saw Spanish version of Blotto other day my mom who speak the language understood she didn't realize until now that OH YEAH ole Laurel and Hardy did spanish features I explain that if they knew film star could speak another language they did same film in foreign language look at Greta Garbo with Anna Christie German language

They're running the old Laurel & Hardy Show that was syndicated back in the 80's.

[Kelly]

OH BIx I never saw the 1980s sydnication show I hear they used show it we didn't get here in SO CAL I didn't notice

[Matthew A. Lanoue]

It's fune to see the old 80's intro and commercial breaks again, but the prints aren't nearly as good as they once were--thanks to the DVDs. For some reason, MeTV has the volume cranked up and the announcer's voice is pretty distorted. But, I'm glad to see htem on commercial TV again, even with all the diabetes kit and Hovercraft ads.

[Kelly]

OH Matterew you know what I mean yeah I think the announcer voice is little loud be honest I am glad I DVR when come on it usually at 6:30am in the morning here in SO CAL so I try watch after church and little breakfast on my time

[Kelly]

Today on ME TV they show Pardon us it look like okay print if you know what I mean they show to cover up time short song Wild west part of the movie LOL!

[Matthew A. Lanoue]

I think they may have used a newer print of Pardon Us than what originally was packaged in the original 1980's run of the series. it had an RHI logo at the beginning, which they didn't have back when the show first came out. But they still used the opening theme song and the standard commercial "bumpers."

[Kelly]

I think you are right seem "better print" of pardon us that I notice last Sunday seem "Fresher"

[FilmGauge]

My ME-TV affiliate, WSAH-TV, runs infomercials during the Laurel and Hardy time slot. Most unfortunate.

[Kelly]

That sucks yeah least my KDOC TV channel on digital don't show informcial now regular KDOC TV show it on Sunday morning and other religious programming

[FilmGauge]

While I had noticed that the MeTV schedule was showing that LAUREL AND HARDY was to start on WSAH-TV beginning March 11th, it wasn't on; just infomercials. I e-mailed the GM of the station, hoping to see if L&H are coming in the near future.

[Matthew A. Lanoue]

Not bad for a bunch of 80 year-old comedies, I'd say. Although i would really love it if they used the newer prints.

Hey guys earlier today on ME TV on Laurel and Hardy show they showing Upotia/AtollK they consider very last Laurel and Hardy movie you could tell boys didn't look good seem that you could tell Stan Laurel may have suffering from ill health he didn't look good I hear recently that dude did have stroke around the time of filming while Ollie Hardy look mess up too he look thinner before than all rest of the movies
