I remember them. Were they shorter than normal films? It seems like (and I'm reaching really far back in my memory now) they were on before the feature film.
They were almost one and a half hours....regular movie; but I've have only seen them on TV. I think the series was popular and full length in its day.
They come up on TCM every once in a while. We watched a few of them the last time around. Fun to watch, but don't try to dissect them in any way, they fall apart pretty quick. (Not complaining, sometimes entertaining movies are like that, and not every plot has to hold together or have deep relevance.)
A lot of the fun is the interaction between ma and pa. They each recognize the others weak points, but don't let it seriously bother their relationship. A lot of people could learn from that.
I totally agree...not always well written. It was Ma and Pa struggling along together and as you say.....complimenting each others' personalities.
Ma stole the show for me and those darn "childrun"...LOL..It was a simpler time with "simple" plots...but it did show people "how to be a couple".
I used to love watching Ma & Pa Kettle movies on a Saturday afternoon with my Grandad.
I don't remember them very well BUT I do remember that they made me laugh and that I enjoyed them very much AND I loved spending the time with my Grandad who really enjoyed them.
I think they were great family entertainment and are still funny.
Wow....I sure forgot about those until you mentioned it. I watched them when I was a kid....I have no idea how old the movies were at that time, but it was in the 60's.
I wonder if you can find them on the net...I do have 2 VCR tapes of their movies, if I can just find them...LOL.

Completely agree.
Actually I'm glad you made the thread because it reminded me of ALL the films we would watch on a Saturday afternoon.
My Grandparents were big fans of Ma & Pa Kettle, Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges, The Road movies with Bob Hope & Bing Crosby and Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis movies.

I think it was that "salesman".....Billy Reed"....a friend indeed...LOL. The video search engine I used checks...Hulu, Google, TV.com., Youtube, Fancast and many more...but all at once!
I remember watching MA And Pa Kettle movies as a kid and found them to be pretty funny. The networks should air their movies more often.
