Where is The Three Stooges ? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know it was like 15 minute shorts,but it was a sitcom,it should be included somewhere maybe in the 1950s section,maybe they can merge that to 1950s and classic old Sit Com or shorts from before the 50s.

hi, the 3 stooges was NOT a sitcom. they were film short subjects that were shown in movie theatres before a the main picture was screened. preview trailers are shown nowadays instead of film shorts. when tv became popular, the networks needed programming. so they used film short subjects like the 3 stooges as tv programming. since most of us that watched the stooges first saw them on tv, we tend to think of them as a tv show, but they were actually short films for movie theatres. thanks

....were practically the backbone of Columbia Pictures' "short subject" division- and the most profitable- from 1934 through 1959. And they were the LAST theatrical series the studio produced! At the time "Sappy Bullfighters" was released, the studio had begun syndicating their two-reelers for television, where they found a new generation of viewers. And that's why, even after Columbia's other "short" stars- Andy Clyde, Charley Chase, Vera Vague, etc.- have been forgotten, the Stooges continue to be seen to this day!

They should put all of it on a DVD Box Set,not just bits and pieces like you see for Sale,they are legends.

Buster Keaton also was part of the Columbia shorts. Some of them were released on DVD in the last year or two.

I don't know what you mean by "bits and pieces"; but a lot of their movie appearences, tvshow appearences, etc. are on DVD.
I have one of those rare movies that they did-a musical comedy from 1946 called SWING PARADE OF 1946

until they discovered a whole new audience in 1958 when Columbia sold some of their shorts to TV; Moe-who was their unoffical "boss" off-screen as well as on-was thinking seriously about disbanding them.

Spike is running them early AM, chopped into tiny five minute bits and pieces with "highspot" bumpers in and out of the too frequent stop sets for commercials... it plays like the content is an afterthought. The treatment is a real shame.
