As much as their movies were B-movie material of apparently simple content, there was about their series a sense of authentic urban awareness in comic disguise. Mischief much more subversive than the Three Stooges or the Our Gang bunch. They merit a revival.

I guess I'm somewhat of an anomaly, because I still like these guys. Back in the day, before VCR's, DVD's and cable, you were lucky to catch a favorite movie, and when it came on you watched no matter what time it came on. The good movies always came on around 1:00am, and I would stay up all night long just to watch these guys. They were always great to me, especially when paired with Cagney or Bogey. They eventually grew into the Eastside Kids and eventually the Bowery Boys.

Better than those horrid little rascals but not by much.

I loved them as a kid, but they're hard to watch now except perhaps as a relic from another era. They were in one of my favorite Cagney movies- Angels With Dirty Faces- but even in that film, as much as I love it and revere Cagney, they were very hard to take with their supposedly gritty urban realism (for the time, I guess)and comic-book NY accents. I didn't do nuttin' indeed!

The humor was of a different age and we don't get it now.
