Show Summary

  • Ended
The Three Stooges are Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and at various times, Shemp Howard, Curly Howard, Joe Besser, or Curly-Joe DeRita. They are three good-hearted fools who have a knack for screwing up even the simplest task. A typical episode of The Three Stooges Show includes Moe slapping Larry, several eye pokes, head conks, and the ever possible pie fight. Destruction seems to follow the Stooges around!moreless

  • Three good-hearted men obtain a variety of jobs which require skills they do not possess. This usually concludes with things becoming worse than they initally were, with plenty of emphasis on physical punishment.moreless

    The greatest comedy team that ever walked the face of the earth. Although they were particularly unintelligent, the 6 men(Moe,Larry,Curly,Shemp,Joe,Curly-Joe) made up for it with determination, patience, and innocence. Almost every short is something special, as the Stooges do their best to tackle a large variety of jobs. Many people tend to overlook some of the brilliant verbal humor inserted into their films periodically. Everything from puns to now dated and obscure refrences. They also used a vast mixture of vaudville rountines from the "3 watches" to dressing in drag. Their mannerisms and availibilty to the public have allowed them to age far better than their contemperaries. The world is indebted to them!moreless

    "Moe, Larry, cheese!!" Do you remember Curly shouting those words? As kids, we used to exchange famous lines from the Three Stooges. While this unlikely trio brutally beat on each other, we knew better than to try the things they did in real life. I guess that is one of the reasons the show was so funny-the Stooges did things none of us could ever do.

    One of the things that kept the show interesting was its variety. You saw the Stooges in hospitals, boxing rings, haunted houses, and camp grounds. They could be seen delivering goods, singing, cooking, building houses, or taming wild beasts. They were creative men indeed.

    The show has proven to be success on the decades. Even with the death of some of its main characters, the show continued to entertain new generations. Thanks Moe. Thanks Larry. Thanks Curly. You won't be forgotten.moreless

    I wasnt even born at the time this was produced, but after watching some of these classic episodes on VHS Cassettes, I knew I was hooked on it. This is one of those Timeless Classics everyone talks about.

    Amazingly, We have multiple Video Cassettes and a DVD of the Series. Five Cassettes and One DVD. A lot of people I talk to thought it was...stupid. But some still think that yes indeed, it is funny.

    However, I must agree that part of it is their Stupid Behavior. But heck, you can't argue with the results. If this was still running in NEW Episodes TODAY, It could be a hit with a little fine tuning. 10 Out of 10 For a Final Rating here folks.moreless

    This show was way before my time but they did play reruns when I was younger. The Three Stooges is one of the most hilarious shows that I have watched. Only The Three Stooges can pull off this type of humour. They work well to play off each other, even for the many actor switches they have faced due to unfortunate circumstances.

    This show doesn't have any of the sick humour that some of the comedy shows have today. This is a show that kids can watch without learning profanity, rude gestures, and little violence.

    This show is great for a family to sit down together and have many laughs. Have a family moment watch The Three Stooges!moreless

    Its true this is sooo great.There had been diffrent stooges over the years i beleive they were: Curly Joe Moe Larry Curly and Shemp. I beleive Shemp,Moe&Curly are real Brothers last name Howard. Moe is usally the outgoing one who was the leader, Curly is usally the funnist and can have "duh" moments :D and Larry is kinda like the Runt of the little lol usally being bossed around by Moe. this show was in the 30s and 40s so its in black & White but on some DVDs they made it color somehow :D Sadly they are all dead now but ppl (like me) still love the show.moreless
