yanceycravat Posted January 18, 2006 The Three Stooges made a number of shorts and appearances in MGM films. Hey TCMPROGRAMMER, how about a tribute to these back-biters? Thanks, Yancey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markfp2 Posted January 18, 2006 Sounds like a great idea, but I believe that the cable network "Spike" has a lock on all the Columbia Stooges shorts. From what I understand they are very popular on that channel. Columbia did produced a lot of other shorts besides the Stooges, which nobody ever seems to show, perhaps TCM could get some of those. They may not be "The Stooges", but as I remember they were pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coffeedan Posted January 18, 2006 A few years ago, TCM featured a "Festival of Shorts" volume (I forget which number) that included two of the MGM shorts the Stooges made with Ted Healy, PLANE NUTS (1933) and THE BIG IDEA (1934). They've been repeating a lot of the earlier volumes lately, so this will probably turn up again soon. Better yet, request it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3s2ges Posted January 24, 2006 The 3 stooges are on spike tv, i don't recall seeing them on tcm and i've been watching tcm for years now, i guess i must have missed the showing. I hope they run the 3 stooges soon. By the way, curley is my favorite. Message was edited by: 3s2ges Message was edited by: 3s2ges Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrtbsh Posted January 24, 2006 Yes, Spike licensed the 3 Stooges package from Columbia. We were also in the conversation for them, but Spike out-bid us. There may be a day when there are Columbia shorts on TCM, it's a good idea. The 3 Stooges remain very popular and tend to be farily expensive to acquire.

yanceycravat Posted January 26, 2006 tcmprogrammer - The Columbia shorts aside doesn't TCM own a number of pre Columbia shorts starring The Three Stooges? Not to mention a number of features where they are featured performers? I think there is enough material in the TCM library to warrant an evening if not a whole day dedicated to them.

yanceycravat Posted January 27, 2006 tcmprogrammer - Without including the dozens of shorts Shemp Howard made without his brothers for Vitaphone, I believe below is a near complete list of films starring or featuring The Three Stooges which should be in the Turner Library. As you can see there are a number of shorts which, together, might even make a great TCM Archive release which could be cross-promoted! Roast-Beef and Movies (1934) - Curly Only The Big Idea (1934) - Short Jailbirds of Paradise (1934) - Short Plane Nuts (1933) - Short Hello Pop! (1933) - Short Beer and Pretzels (1933) - Short Nertsery Rhymes (1933) - Short Give a Man a Job (1933) - 2 Minute NRA Short Fugitive Lovers (1934) - Feature Dancing Lady (1933) - Feature Hollywood Party (1934) - Feature (Curly Only) Meet the Baron (1933) - Feature Broadway to Hollywood (1933) - Feature Turn Back the Clock (1933) - Feature Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thomas Posted January 29, 2006 im a huge three stooges fan but i never heard of any of your three stooges featurs ..from fugitive lovers all the way to turn back the clock i hope the shoe these movies again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astairegirl Posted January 30, 2006 I LOVE the three stooges. I started watching them since I was 5 years old. I do hope that TCM shows some of the movies they starred in. I'm also hoping that TCM shows shorts like "Plane Nuts" and "Beer and Pretzels" as part of their FESTIVAL OF SHORTS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastooge Posted February 3, 2006 A complete (I think) list of all Three Stooges, & related, films in the Warner library. As already mentioned, surely there is enough material here for a Three Stooges tribute in TCM's future. Also, Shemp Howard's Vitaphone short subjects were regularly shown on TNT in the early 1990s before TCM launched, usually as filler after the late-night features, circa 5AM - 7AM. Fans loved 'em, and they've been largely ignored since the classic catalog moved to TCM in 1994. Time to bring 'em back!

nsallieharding Posted February 3, 2006 .........and you can't mention the Three Stooges without also including The Little Rascals or Our Gang. They use to show up on my local PBS station and also on TNT in the mid-80's. I put two of their new 2005 DVD releases in my Queue to try them out. People say that they are in good condition giving them a 4 star rating on quality. I'll let you know if it is true when I get them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbccod Posted February 16, 2006 i want to know which episode of Three Stooges had Larry in the bed that moves into the wall and then into another room. Plus Larry wakes up in that bed next to a guy with a mask with big teeth. Any one remember it? Let me know...Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne Posted February 16, 2006 The scene you're describing with Larry in bed (in the haunted castle) is from "The Hot Scots" (1948), starring Moe, Larry, & Shemp. The lovely Christine McIntyre plays a Scottish lass named Lorna Doone. Shemp greets her thusly: "Hi, Lorna. How ya' doone?"
