I noticed that there wasn't a section for the Three Stooges! I loved that show! Who's your favorite? I loved Moe!!! He was awsome!!!

Technically it's not a TV show.

However, I LOVE the Three Stooges. Shemp's my favorite.

I have every Curly episode on tape and half of the Shemps. I also have a couple Joe Besser episodes. Curly-Joe DeRita was only in the movies and cartoon series, he never did the Columbia Shorts like the others. And I have some cartoon episodes and movies.

My absolute favorite is Curly. I used to love to imitate him. I like all the stooges except Joe and Curly Joe. I just didn't find them funny. Moe was great. He was the center of all the action.

Here's an extremely quick look at their career.

In 1934, Moe, Larry and Curly signed with Columbia Pictures to produce 15-20 minute "shorts". They aired in movie theaters before the actual films.

In 1946, Curly suffered a stroke and was replaced by his older brother Shemp. Curly died in 1952. Shemp had actually worked with Moe and Larry with Ted Healy in the 1920's. So technically, he was there before Curly. Just not in the Columbia Shorts. In 1955, Shemp died of a heart attack. At first, they just remade Shemp classics using stock footage and a stand-in, Joe Palmer. Then, in 1957, Joe Besser became the third stooge. In 1959, the final Stooge short was released. The Stooges were forced out of Columbia. Later in 1959, Moe and Larry added Curly-Joe DeRita as the third stooge and made a few movies. In the sixties they had a cartoon series. In 1975, Larry passed away. Later that year, Moe passed away. In 1989 (or 88) Joe Besser died. In 1993 (or 94), Curly-Joe DeRita passed.

190 shorts were made.

wow I got a lot of posts fast! lol! i have a book written by Moe that tells about their vaudeville days up until he himself died where the book stops. The originals were great, we have a few marathons on tape, I'd love to have them all! They should put them out on DVD, even if it's not technically a TV show. I know I'd buy it up until Shemp was replaced. After that, it just wasn't the same! I loved Curly and Shemp but the other replacements were just no Stooges. Moe was great!

I have about 30 shorts on tape that I recorded off AMC about a decade ago. I used to watch the stooges every day after school. They were great. Did you see that tv movie on the stooges produced by Mel Gibson that was on a few years ago. I wish I could buy that somewhere.

I have that book, too! I mentioned about having a bunch on tape. Now I'm starting my collection again on DVD. I only have about 63 shorts. Moe seemed like a really nice guy.

I remember years ago (probably in the late 1980's) watching the Three Stooges on Saturday morning on a show called "The Superguy Show". It was hosted by a guy, dressed up like Superman. They'd show a short of the Stooges, followed by a looney tune cartoon and concludes with a second Stooges' short. However, that was a local channel that eventually went away. I've never seen that show again.

In the early 90's I'd wake up and tape the Stooges on TBS at 6:05am. Years later, after I had bought a bunch on official tape, I taped the ones I didn't have, from AMC. That's how I was able to get every Curly short. The one hold-out for a couple years was "G.I. Wanna Home". I finally found it, last year. Now that I've started over on DVD, that's one of the first ones I got.

hi, i am a big 3 stooges fan. shemp is my favorite and i like curly. shemp had as big of a career solo as he did with the stooges. i have all the 3 stooges shorts, cartoons, and most of their movie appearances and tv appearances. have some very rare stuff. i also have a large collection of the solo work of the members of the 3 stooges as well. i don't like too much having everything that is out there on video. some of the films etc are losted forever because the film stock wasn't saved. so unfortunately i won't be able to ever have a complete collection. bummer. i also have all the comics relating to the 3 stooges and almost every book written on them. have a large collection of magazines relating to the stooges as well. i've been a card carrying member of the fan club since 1984. it is a very good fan club with a nice quarterly newsletter. this is the fan club run by a relative of larry fine and not the fan club by the comedy3 group. well so much for my boasting. i'm glad there are 3 stooges fans on this board. figured there might be. thanks

THE THREE STOOGES ARE on DVD and have been for a while now.

I'm also a big 3 stooges fan, and have been for years! I must have about 5 or 6 books on them. I have "The Three Stooges Scrapbook" which is their biobraphy, ending with Moes death in 75, written by his daughter and two other guys, "Curly" a biography of him again written by Moes daughter, "The Three Stooges book of scripts" also written by Moes daughter, "Larry-the stooge in the middle" a biography of Larry written by his brother,& "Moe Howard & The Three Stooges" which tells the story of them up until Moes death, in his own words.

I also have two Three Stooges DVDs, one contains a rare pilot they did for their own TV series, in 1948 (the pilot wasn't picked up), some color film shorts they did in the 60s that are only about 5 minutes long and were used at the beggining and end of a cartoon series they had, a rare movie they made in 1948 called "Swing Parade of 1948", trailers for two movies of theirs in the early 60s "The Three Stooges in Orbit" and "Stop, Look, and Laugh" which starred Paul Winchell and his dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smif and just used footage of them from the Curly shorts. It was made and released without their knowledge or permission in 1963, they filed a lawsuit against Columbia Pictures over it, and won.

My other DVD has a kinescope of a show they did in 1950 called "Camel Comedy Caravan". It was a variety show hosted by Ed Wynn, and they were guests one week.

hi, the 3 stooges are on dvd, but not all 190 shorts. most of what is available commerically on dvd is with curly and shemp and most of those are not complete sets. thanks

Your best shot for getting them would be online like Amazon. They have a lot of Three Stooges DVDs.

three stooges comes on spike tv at 9:00am

If I were in charge of releasing the DVDs for the Stooges, I'd release each year as a different volume. For example:

Volume 1: 1934
1. Woman Haters
2. Punch Drunks
3. Men in Black
4. Three Little Pigskins

Volume 2: 1935
5. Horses Collars
6. Restless Knights
7. Pop Goes the Easel
8. Uncivil Warriors
9. Pardon My Scotch
10. Hoi Polloi
11. Three Little Beers

Volume 3: 1936
12. Ants in the Pantry
13. Movie Maniacs
14. Half-Shot Shooters
15. Disorder in the Court
16. A Pain in the Pullman
17. False Alarms
18. Whoops, I'm An Indian
19. Slippery Silks

Volume 4: 1937
20. Grips, Grunts and Groans
21. Dizzy Doctors
22. Three Dumb Clucks
23. Back to the Woods
24. Goofs and Saddles
25. Cash and Carry
26. Playing the Ponies
27. The Sitter-Downers

Volume 5: 1938
28. Termites of 1938
29. Wee Wee Monsieur
30. Tassels in the Air
31. Flat Foot Stooges
32. Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb
33. Violent Is the Word for Curly
34. Three Missing Links
35. Mutts to You

Volume 6: 1939
36. Three Little Sew and Sews
37. We Want Our Mummy
38. A-Ducking They Did Go
39. Yes, We Have No Bonanza
40. Saved by the Belle
41. Calling All Curs
42. Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise
43. Three Sappy People

I'd do it for all the years, including the Joe Besser years. Each disc would have some bonus features, I'm not sure what, but something.

I'd love to have a collection of them. We used to watch it right after school too. My dad loved it. I'll be heading over to amazon.com soon to see what they have.
Moe did seem like a really nice guy! I LOVE that book! I can just picture him with long hair lol!

I bet the guys would be real happy to know that their are still a lot of fans out here after all these years. Their comedy is timeless and their legacy will go on forever.

That's for sure! And I think more and more women are learning to appreciate them (I ALWAYS have).

My favourite is Curly attempting to eat the clam chowder. I don't think they would have been as big as they were if it hadn't been for Curly - he ROCKED!!


nuuck nuuck nuuck Wise Guy!! :happyface

true true! i loved when he tried to eat the powder puff too. he was so funny!

I've seen all of the ones with moe larry and curly, and moe larry and shemp. After them I didn't much care for it anymore. Just wasn't the Three Stooges anymore. I have a lot of respect for Moe continuing the show or whatever u want to call it, even after both of his brothers died. He was always my favorite.

One of The stupidest things I've ever seen a company do is for Columbia/Sony to not have made the entire Stooges catalogue available in affordable box sets by now.

DVD is almost 10 years old, and we're still getting these crappy 4 short discs for 20 bucks, when every TV Show available is being released, with full seasons sometimes coming in between 20-30 bucks.

Who do we have to poke in the eyes to get good Stooges sets?

And, of course, Curly and Shemp were the best third Stooges.

I am also a HUGE Stooge fan. I love them.........

I have a couple of Stooge T shirts and whenever I wear them I get so many smiles from people. Anytime they're on TV I :) just have to watch them.

That's for sure! And I think more and more women are learning to appreciate them (I ALWAYS have).

My favourite is Curly attempting to eat the clam chowder. I don't think they would have been as big as they were if it hadn't been for Curly - he ROCKED!!


nuuck nuuck nuuck Wise Guy!! :happyfacetrue,; I also think more & more woman are starting to appreciate them. A movie theater around here recently had a screening of 8 of their films (they're called "shorts" or "two reelers") and at least half the audience was woman. (of course, probably some of them were "dragged to it by their husbands or boyfriends, kicking & screaming" as the host-Gary Lasson, president of THE THREE STOOGES FAN CLUB said! :lol: )

There are probably some woman who don't like them but I know tons of woman who do.

Everyone I know likes them. Who wouldn't like the Stooges!?? They're awsome!

Everyone I know likes them. Who wouldn't like the Stooges!?? They're awsome!I agree......... :thumbsup: :banana: YAY............ I just might put on my 3 stooges T shirt today!

Next time I go to the mall I'll be on the lookout for a 3 stooges t-shirt. That would be sooooo awsome!

Stooges

1. Curly He was the best Stooges
2. Moe He was just as good as Curly
3. Shemp was a good replacement for Curly
4. Larry kinda of underatted
5. Joe Maybe be bad not the worst
6. Curly Joe Yuck a Curly wannabe a very bad one if you ask me.

I agree.
