I agree on all points.* They only did one movie I particularly like, "The Time of Their Lives," which I used to routinely catch the end of (but never the beginning) on television in the pre-cable days.
Their tv show tended to include the least admirable aspects of their movies, their readio shows could be better, but not always.
I am still trying to find a recording (which is probably hidden in an episode of their radio show on my iPod) of a routine in which Lou is being paid for his work as a janitor and it comes down to something like 30 cents because of all the deductions Bud announces.
