So they crammed the Bowery Boys features into a one-hour slot; I was curious about that, since the movies themselves run about an hour in length.
In the Miami-Fort Lauderdale TV market back in the day there was one station that carried most of this content (Abbott & Costello, wrestling, Three Stooges, Universal horror - and I think the Bowery Boys), namely WCIX Channel 6, which was the only independent station on the VHF dial. They also ran their Abbott & Costello feature around midday on Sunday, and that would be followed by a Tarzan film at 1:30. "Creature Feature" was the horror film program (their bread and butter was old Universal and AIP features); that settled into a 10:30am Saturday time slot around 1977, continuing into the '80s through a name-change to "Science Fiction Theater."
I can't remember exactly when the Bowery Boys films were shown, but it must have been on the weekend during daytime. You might watch them if it was raining outside or something.

A big bunch of these just dropped on TCM on Demand or whatever they call it.

I really like the 1937 Dead End. As a kid I thought Bowery Boys were booooooring, but these days I'll watch pretty much any black and white film from the 40s/50s. I should give a few a shot.

If you're interested in them, read the Tarantino book; he's like a PhD when it comes to the various permutations and how they were different. (He writes about them in connection to the Stallone film Paradise Alley.)

Man, Leo Gorcey was married a whole buncha times.

His first wife Kay Marvis later married Groucho Marx. She and Gorcey have a wonderful dancing scene together in “Kid Dynamite”

Saw the content of that first sentence somewhere in the archives but not the second sentence.

I remember seeing some "kids" things with Shirley Temple, I believe. Lets just say they have not aged well...
