I wondered about that myself, wasn't it in the 50's that they were shown on television?

Yea but technically it wasn't a sitcom. They were movie shorts that were syndicated to television beginning in the 1950's.

1958, to be exact. That's when they were discovered by a whole new audience.
But; let's move this discussion over to the other thread.

The Stooges are still very cool. In fact, that was my dad's nickname for my two siblings and I.

I use to watch the Stooges everyday after school. I used to imitate Curly all the time. He was my favorite.

I used to work with a guy who was also a big 3 stooges fan (like me) and he used to call his daughter "grapehead" which is what Moe called Curly in one of their shorts.

they did make a lot of appearences on TV shows, though. And they made 2 pilots for their own series, one was in 1948 and the other was in 1971. It was named "KOOKS TOUR" and they played themselves, in retirment and taking a trip around the world. But, during the pilot, Larry (the curly-haired one) suffered a stroke and they were forced to abandon it.
Both shows are availible on DVD.

It would have been great if they would have been picked up. It's so sad that Larry got so sick right at that time. I started watching the stooges in 1974 regularly and it would have been great seeing them in a new sitcom around that time. I also had a Three Stooges Record ( I might still have it). I think I got that around 1972. It's to bad that Columbia treated them so bad. I saw that movie about them and they had no idea they were as popular as they were...at least until the shorts went to tv.

treky · 05-20-2007, 12:38 AM

yea, it would have been great if that 2nd pilot was picked up. (not the first one, as that's not very good.) Larry had recovered from his stroke a year later, and they were planning to do "KOOKS TOUR" again; but; sadly he had a second one

and never recovered and later died.

And let me correct you; "KOOKS TOUR" wasn't a sitcom; it was a "comedy-travellouge". The first one, "JERKS OF ALL TRADES' was a sitcom, though. Also, "KOOKS TOUR" doesn't have very much slapstick in it, because of their ages. (I have both shows on DVD)

Jerks of All Trades was pretty standard, enjoyable Stooge stuff.

I found Kooks Tour very hard to sit through. I'm sorry. It was almost painful for me to watch.

hi, not to be a wiseguy, but i have almost every thing that is available on video of the 3 stooges or solo appearances of members of the stooges. i have some of the very rare hard to find stuff. probably have one of the most extensive video collections on the stooges that is out there. thanks stoogedog

treky · 08-22-2007, 01:02 AM

I like the very first one they did; called "WOMAN HATERS" in 1934. For those who never saw it; it's a musical comedy, done entirley in rhyme. And they don't use the names Moe, Larry, & Curly. There characters names are Tommy (Moe), Jackie (Curly), and Jim (Larry). They also don't do their "characters"-Moe doesn't boss Larry and Curly around, and Curly isn't dumb.
