"Hey Abbott!" TV Special - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody remember the TV special called "Hey Abbott!"? That special was produced in 1979. It features clips from both Abbott & Costello shows and movies. It also includes the classic baseball routine "Who's on First?", one of the all-time famous sketch in history. The special was hosted by the late Milton Berle and it was produced by a small production company called ZIV International. As you might recall, ZIV International was the company that produces anime shows like "Fables of the Green Forest", "Captain Future" and those other ones that were distributed by ZIV. I have this special on DVD with "African Screams". Any thoughts about the special, please post. Thanks!

I haven't seen it since the early eighties, but it was interesting.
