Before WPIX-TV would become a full-time station in the late 1950's, they would share NYC Educational Channel programming in the morning until 3PM. They would come on at 3PM, with Oliver and Hardy movies, then have their regular kids programming start afterwards. I love watching their movies. Also, I enjoyed watching the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, Abbott and Costello comedy films. WNEW-TV, channel 5 would show the East Side Kids movies on Saturdays. During the week they had excellent kids shows, hight lighted by Sandy Becker show. Those WC Fields movies are classics. My favorite WC Fields movie is "It's a Gift." Yep, if I remember correctly channel 5 would have a horror movie or 2 on in the AM, but in the afternoon they would show The East Side Kids/The Dead End Kids/The Bowery Boys movies. 1 of my favorite movies is "Crime School" with Humphrey Bogart and The Dead End Kids/East Side Kids/Bowery Boys. |

I often use the old “I love children (yes), I had two for breakfast.” line… |

And that bit wasn’t really all that funny, but there was just something about that character that he made it so compelling. It could have been made into a series… |

The Bowery is where bums resides in flophouses/saloons in the gas light era. The acrid smell of urine waffling in the air.Their presence is wiped out due to gentrification. |
