Svengoolie Airs Abbott & Costello's Strange Split Tonight on MeTV

Tonight, horror host legend Svengoolie brings us The Time of Their Lives on MeTV. But don't expect classic Abbott and Costello shenanigans. This 1946 fantasy comedy features the iconic duo – Bud Abbott and Lou Costello – largely separated, barely sharing screen time.

It's a bizarre setup. Reports suggest this unusual dynamic stemmed from a real-life rift: declining box office numbers and escalating personal tensions between the stars led to a temporary split. The studio, however, still marketed them as a pair, leading to this strange cinematic curiosity.

Svengoolie, aka Rich Koz, promises to dive deep into this mystery during the broadcast. He'll explore the historical accounts behind their separation and even present an expert's counter-argument. Beyond the main feature, expect the usual House of Svengoolie antics: cast breakdowns, a Fracture Flickers redubbed silent film, and more.
