Gorcey, Hall and the Boys finished films at a furious pace, between 1940 and 1957 they made an average of five films a year.
The Bowery Boys played bank robbers, boxers and private eyes; each new installation brought new opportunity for idiocy.
Huntz Hall led the remaining boys until 1958, and the series finally drew to a close.

 Bowery Info
Debateable because the Bowery Boys has a sort of cult following as these films are hard to find new, but can be found and most of these were shown on TCM in the summer of 1999.
To diehard Bowery Boys fans, the last 7 movies are considered to not be as good because they lacked the chemistry between Gorcey and Hall, but most of these fans will say they have seen them only because those last 7 were still technically Bowery Boys movies.
The Bowery Boys movies were mostly comedies (*slap*stick, mostly, with emphasis on the "slap" part) with the occasional dramatic overtone.

 The Roach Coach: Bowery Boys
Perhaps the fire marshall should stop by the Bowery Ballroom the next time the Killers perform, to help thin out the crowd.
I'm not sure what the "official" capacity is for that joint, but it's safe to say it was as close to oversold as we're ever going to get.
I'd have thought a band that played to a faithful Bowery crowd would walk off stage in bullet-proof vests if the set dipped under 70 minutes.

When they covered the Rivieras' 1964 surf classic "California Sun" on their second album in 1977, guitarist Johnny Ramone simply shrugged away the fussy amenities of an E-minor chord and down-strummed an extra natural lift into the surf anthem.
Johnny, Joey, Tommy and Dee Dee ricocheted off the Bowery at the top of their form and filled four classic albums with the scavenged remains of every brilliant thing that had ever excited them.
Brief singalong blurts of rudimentary nonsense like "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Teenage Lobotomy," "Rockaway Beach" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" were as direct as a sock in the jaw yet never lost their sense of satire, having it both ways for an audience clever enough not to stumble into the chasm between intent and effect.

There was also considerable fighting during the latter part of the night between these rowdies and a party of men in the Bowery, near the theatre.
At the corner of Elizabeth street, while the exasperated mob was at their heels, ready to tear them to pieces, they met some members of engine companies in the vicinity, and the Bowery boys, who sided with them, and at some of them say, preserved them from certain massacre.

Generally, the boys retained the same names throughout the series (except the serials).
This series of comedies found the Boys in a variety of situations, always with the underrated (and critically unappreciated) comedy duo of Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall as the focus.
The chemistry that worked so well between Gorcey and Hall never materialized with Clements and this, along with the fact that the "Boys" were now well into their 30's and the lack of demand for programmer type films such as these due to TV, proved to be the death knell of the series.

"The Bowery Boys" is a name synonomous with the wild and vibrant streets of New York City, but not a name one might think to associate with Irish traditional music.
Comprising an international lineup of superb players from some of the finest Celtic bands performing today, The Bowery Boys can indeed be considered the newest Irish "supergroup." Their fiery, turn-on-a-dime arrangements emphasize an ensemble sound over solo playing.
His return with the rest of the Bowery Boys is one of the most anticipated shows of the autumn.

 AMCTV.com SHOW - The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters
Bowery Boys (As The Bowery Boys) - Dead End, Sidney Kingsley's caustic Broadway play about growing up in New York City's slums, had the same impact on the big screen as it did on the stage, with the young hoodlums and their shenanigans winning over sympathetic audiences.
Leo Gorcey was influential in retooling the series, and in 1946 he became the star of the show, with Huntz Hall his partner-in-crime(solving) in the renamed series, The Bowery Boys.
By the end, the Boys were no longer boys–they were nearly middle-aged men.

Clancy Street Boys marked the first time the East Siders played strictly for laughs, and was the first episode in the series to be directed by William Beaudine, who showed a definite flair for handling the guys in several movies.
In one of the more amusing moments of Clancy Street Boys, the boys tip their hats and, turning to the camera, say "Excuse us" to the audience before going into a huddle.
Beaudine, a prolific filmmaker from the silent era through the 1960s, had the distinction of being the film industry's oldest active director when he died at age 78 in 1970.

Chronicling the controversial effects of Bowery’s gentrification, Bowery Dish investigates a neighborhood which once held over a hundred flophouses yet now only has 3, the remaining homeless gathering yellowed copies of Paper Magazine to start a cozy fire.
Through a fair mix of footage and interviews (including B-Bar’s Howard Shafer on starting a trend), the documentary explains Bowery’s evolution – from notorious gang hangout to flophouse & brothel central to hard-knock “Bowery Boys” avenue to a home for the homeless and mentally-ill to an upscale restaurant transformation.
I was but a wee lad running with the Bowery Boys, picking fights with the Plug Uglies and the Dead Rabbits.

It must be stressed that in the beginning the band was definitely a single entity, The Bowery Boys, not "Mike Furber and…".
It was at this point (around August ’66) that Furber and the Bowery Boys parted ways, which was a real shame because they showed signs of developing into a seriously interesting band.
It’s strange now to imagine, but we all think that Furber was a solo star and The Bowery Boys were a bunch of patsies who were just paid to back him.
