He was the most sympathetic Stooge. He needed the other two, though to compliment each other as a sort of single persona. The protagonist in their shorts was "The Stooges." I think it's similar with other good acts like Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello. They each had talent as actors and comedians, but their famous personae needed each other to be complete.

Funny true story. Sometime in the mid 1990s, I hired a new office administrator who had just moved to the US with her husband and 5-year-old son from Russia. One day she asked if she could bring her son to work the next day because it was some sort of holiday and her son's daycare would be closed. I said sure, no problem. I offered to set up a TV & VHS tape player in the cube next to hers and that he could watch some Three Stooges tapes that I had. She then asked "What are Three Stooges?" I realized at that point that she was not familiar with early American TV so I said "Here are a couple Three Stooges video tapes to show your son. Let me know if he likes them. I will bring other movies and TV shows for him to watch if he doesn't like the Three Stooges." The next morning my administrator came in with her son and before I could say anything, she gave me a rather odd, stern look and said "Tom, you have changed my life FOREVER. My son and husband watched the Three Stooges tapes for 3 hours straight and laughed so hard they were crying! I tried to watch but I could not understand what was so funny about grown men hitting each other and poking each other in the eyes." So, there you have it - an unplanned research experiment that demonstrates that the Three Stooges is universally a "guy thing". Well, OK, one data point. But it's a start!

I used to watch them when I was a kid in the '60's and still enjoy them today. My favorite was Curly. He made the Stooges. I remember as a kid when Captain Penny, a kids show host on WEWS TV in Cleveland, would preempt the showing of the Stooges, with "Kids don't do what the Stooges do". Apparently, kids would mimic the slapping and poking kids eyes that parent would call in the TV station that kids were getting hurt and thus the warning. Oh the good ole days.

@@hertzair1186 - we did shit a lot worse than the Stooges - I'm surprised I'm here to write about it! We'd do things like hide behind furniture and throw darts at each other. And snowball fights with heavy wet snow. Grabbing a car bumper of a passing car on a snow-covered street and sliding on our boots or shoes until it went too fast or stopped. Don't get me started on all the things kids can do with fire crackers, cherry bombs, and M-80s. So long as we were back home before dark, our parents didn't seem to mind. And that was all before the age of 15. After that we had cars and life was very different. So, the Stooges antics were, from what I remember, somewhat tame compared to real life.

Great narration. Thanks for putting the group bibliography together. That was a lot of study work. It's appreciated !!! I hate it that they got swindled out of their due. I remember where a robot re-programmed three more robots like the 3 stooges, in SHORT CIRCUIT. Another episode where they were hired to be BUTLERS at a fancy party. One of the "treats" was the Canopies. They read it as a "CAN OF PEAS". They could take every day things and make them funny. And "The 3 Blind Mice" being their theme song, was just THAT much funnier. They made it famous, the year before I was hatched. I fell out in 1953. Landed on my head and ain't been right, since...at least, that's the story Dad would kid me with. I have enjoy-joyed the 3 stooges my whole life. Thanks for the memories, as JACK BENNY would say..

In 1960 I was 5. A family friend bundled four of us into her car and off we went to the State Fair in Springfield, Illinois to see the horse show. Gertrude Hendrix was a mathematician who worked for my father but her true love was quarterhorses. She gave some older siblings riding lessons. We were in the stands when suddenly they announced that The Three Stooges were coming on stage. They were broke enough that this was their gig. The autographed photo salesman hit the stage with their wares. As Gertrude was asking my older brother who would waste their money on that? My hand shot up with the required sum and my siblings lined up to return their unspent money when we got home. I wish I could say that I sold that photo on Ebay for $500, but when you have 7 siblings it’s hard to save everything. I also miss my robot commando.

I loved every rendition including the Cartoon version. My favorite episode is and always will be Disorder in the Court. I have an appreciation for each and every one of the Stooges and their backing characters Vernon Dent, Bud Jamison, Ken McDonald and Christine Mcintyre along with the other great actors whom I'd have to google for their names. Although the 3 Stooges were mishandled and swindled, they somehow managed to live good lives with what they had and got a taste of how much joy they brought to kids for decades.

There is no greater Three Stooges fan than myself.

But on the other hand I don’t have words harsh enough to describe the movie producer scumbags who lied, cheated, and stole from the Stooges. You would think that these great stars would have been treated better by the scumbag corporate bosses. The one thing that gives me great comfort is knowing that when the Stooges went on their national personal appearance tours they raked in tremendous money for a number of years, and I hope to hell none of the crooked movie moguls got their filthy paws on any of it!!

The Joe Besser part is also false. Joe Besser was real good with Shemp. The only thing that Joe Besser didn't want done, was a slap on the head, and that was it, but as he continued as a Stooge, he relented and allowed to get hit on the head. Joe Besser was also willing to go on a tour with Moe and Larry, but his Wife had suffered a heart attack, so he stayed with her to take care of her.

To tell the truth, in reference to whether or not the boys received a raise, there were some modest increases. For example, Shemp received $24,000 in 1947. Their circa $20,000 covered the 6 weeks per year they spent at the studio, the inflation equivalent of $360,000 today. Not bad for 6 weeks work. As part-time studio employees, they were also on par with the kind of money full-time Columbia feature stars like Jean Arthur and Glenn Ford were receiving....$20,000 divided by 6 weeks, times 52 weeks = $173,000. It's also worth noting that they did not take a pay cut when the stock footage remakes began in 1952, and their workload decreased... in 1955, they received the same $20,000 for only 9 days work. (Hat tip to Stooge historians Brent Seguine and Jim Pauley for the information)

Curly, who was overweight, also had high blood pressure and was known as a heavy drinker, both of which likely contributed to his strokes. The reason given for his drinking was he didn't feel he was attractive to women because of his shaved head. The Stooges final shorts with Joe Besser are regarded as their worst, because Joe's style of comedy wasn't a good fit with what Moe and Larry did. Also, Joe left the Stooges, because his wife had a heart attack and he wanted to care for her. The reason nothing happened with the final incarnation of the Stooges (Moe, Emil and Curly Joe) is because of Moe's own health issues at the time. Those health issues are why Moe retired the act when he did.

It was said that Joe Besser was also a somewhat difficult character when off stage and often refused to do certain scenes. And when he decided to leave the act Moe and Larry were not unhappy about it. Joe DeRita on the other hand was actually easy to get along with and would do the best he could of anything asked of him to do on stage.

Hi, Rick ☺️. As usual, a very fine (no pun, intended) documentary, production 👍!! The 'stooge' who really piqued my interest (but obviously not, most people) was believe it or not, LARRY 😁!! Ol' Larry was the 'batter' (cake), who held them, all together 😏!! Of course, as a true STOOGE fan, I guess I don't have a favorite, episode. But the ones I like most, usually are the scary, spooky ones 👻…………

The reason why they didn’t get compensation that you think they deserved is because they worked in short subjects. Which meant less than a feature film, shown before the main feature. The Marx brothers and Laurel and Hardy etc. got paid better because they made feature films!

Harry Cohn being a cheapskate had a lot to do with it as well. That's why he always told them that the shorts weren't making much money.

I'm a staunch Three Stooges fan. I met Moe's Son Paul, many years ago at a Stooge Convention in Ft Washington, Pa just outside Philadelphia. The career of the Three Stooges would have been much brighter without the likes of Ted Healy and Harry Cohn. In my 'book', Joe Besser and Joe De Rita where NEVER really an important part of the Three Stooges: Moe, Larry, Curly, & Shemp. I would at least LIKE to think that the Three Stooges were not into acting, solely for the money, but the unscrupulous creed and uncaring attitudes of Ted Healy and Harry Cohn, were simply a thorn-in-sides of The "Boys". The only thing I didn't especially care for, was the fact the Three Stooges changed their names. One can only hope it didn't hurt their parent's feelings?

Did this happen before or after one of child actors on the old Addam's Family successfully sued his agent, who had been swindling him for years. ? I read that the same eworld same thing happened to some of the early jazz artists and rock and roll singers ! Despicable behavior by their agents, who were supposed to look out for the Stooges best interest !

I have heard for years about how the 3 stooges were ripped off. But how does that account for Moe owning a house on toluca lake probably the most expensive real estate in the world. And also curly owned several mansions during his life. The head of Columbia pictures was a notorious crook but the three gents certainly weren't hurting financially.
