The world says goodbye to Larry and Moe, but the Stooges' legacy lives on as a new generation meets the comics on the Internet. #3stooges #threestooges #thethreestooges
How wonderful that Moe corresponded with that young man , and even met with him personally , and gave him a tour of his house . Can you imagine any movie star doing that nowadays ?
Redman did that for a few of my homies. They got to smoke a blunt with him and red took em back to the crib and they kicked it for a few hours. And yes it's the same house from MTV cribs. This was about 7 years ago
Dear Paul. Thank you for the wonderful Memories. I loved your dad & uncles & extended family known as the three stooges. They were indeed extended family in my heart growing up with them in my tv set in the living room of my parents home. These videos were amazing. 😊 P.S. I am a 1964 vintage stooge fan.
Ill tell ya man. I really enjoy this series. Every morning growing up i watched the stooges with my dad who loved them. Im 32 and the 3 Stooges is one of my favorite shows. Much love to ur dad and family. Thank you for sharing. Also in about '97 i got my dad a stooges belt buckle wich i still have to this day. He passed away in '01. He wld have loved this! Thanks again. Stay safe bud.
This has been such a fantastic series. Just getting ready to watch this final episode. I'm so glad that Paul was finally able to embrace his wonderful heritage. God bless those wonderful men that have made me laugh all of my 49 years. Gone but never forgotten.
Paul Howard, and all the people that made this series possible: It is the best biography of the extended stooge family that I have seen, and I believe I have seen most of them. Like many, I was raised on the Columbia shorts. I loved the stooges, since they were so professional, and well rehearsed, that we didn't see them as actors.. It was more like looking into somebody else's window. And now, you have invited us right into your home, and made Moe, Larry Curly and the rest as accessable as our own families... Well Done! I think you have made us love the team of Howard, Fine and Howard even more.
Meeting them in person at my neighborhood theatre in Brooklyn more then 60 years ago is something I've never forgotten. They were kind loving human beings who adored children.. God Bless them.
I used to watch Sally Star everyday after school, she played all the shorts, I never realized that she was in the three Stooges movies, how blessed I am to have gotten to know them all!!
No doubt about it. Curly invented break dancing. The 2000 biography tv movie of the stooges was excellent. The stooges shorts that depicted the nazi's are a treasure trove of information on how the public perceived them at the time. I go to my local library regularly. I used to have to go there to get on the internet. When i would sit at one of the computer's there was always a black guy who i sure was a teen at another computer laughing hysterically. I thought maybe he's a little off. Then finally i was able to see what he was laughing at. You guessed it. The three stooges.
Its getting close to a century and here in 2022 the 3 stooges legacy continues to live on ever strong. They lived to make us all laugh and they genuinely cared about their fans. As a man close to 60 ive had some good moments in my life and more than my share of not so good. No matter the situation, no matter the year, when i needed to laugh i could always count on the 3 stooges to do just that.
Beautiful series Paul. Thank you so much! I've been part of the extended Stooge family for 50+ years. I'm still waiting for that dinner invitation. Nyuk nyuk.
Excellent Paul! Your Dad (and his brothers in comedy) was a staple of my after-school entertainment. They did everything I wish I could, but would never dare. The Three Stooges Forever!
I grew up watching the Stooges, loved every episode that they did. I think everyone of those guys would be surprised how much of an influence they had on comedy today. I know they have everyone in Heaven literally in stitches.
I wish Paul Howard would have had a episode devoted to the many, many supporting actors and actresses who were a staple in The Three Stooges short features, especially Emil Sitka, Vernon Dent, Cy Schindell (The empathetic bad guy with a heart, and sometimes a tear. 👍👍), Joe Palma, Bud Jamison, Kenneth MacDonald (Frequent, GREAT, bad guy and great pie in the face recipient, and then a regular as a judge on Perry Mason.), Harold "Tiny" Brauer, Stanley Blystone (I SAID CREAM CHIP BEEF ON TOAST!💥), Gene Roth (Give me that filim!!!), Dudley Dickerson (Poor Dudley, the things he went through being around the Stooges! 😂), Heinie Conklin (favorite bartender, great expressions), Frank Lackteen, Dick Curtis, Jean Willes (My favorite of the Stooges women, e.g. as Nurse Shapely.😍), Christine McIntyre (🎶 and 👊), Ann Doran (Love her as the countess in Three Sappy People in a GREAT cream puff scene. Great with Curly! GREAT reactions! Great cream puff recipient!), Lorna Gray ( *Unforgettable* in that shiny black dress in You Nazty Spy.), Virginia Hunter (Looked amazing with her hair up in Sing a Song of Six Pants.), Nancy Saunders, Angela Stevens, Doris Houck (The determined one in Brideless Groom.) and Dee Green (The winner in Brideless Groom, and Shemp's cave girl.), Barbara Bartay (beautiful news girl, tough girl and gun moll) and Benny Rubin (lead hood and IRS guy). I know that I'm leaving some out. Columbia had an incredibly good group of supporting actors and actresses for The Three Stooges short features. In reality, Paul Howard could have had an entire series of documentaries about the great supporting actors and actresses that were in The Three Stooges short features. Now, I want to watch the short features all over again. This will be my seventh run through my ultimate DVD collection,in chronological order. 😂🤣😂 Edit: Added Barbara Bartay and Benny Rubin.
@@lvmy57 One of the only Joe Besser Three Stooges short features that I ever liked, was when Joe shot her in the butt with the machine gun that fired tacks.
This was a fascinating watch! Growing up in the 1970’s, my sister and I would watch the Stooges after we got home from school. Here’s the thing, we watched them on a channel from Puerto Rico as we lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands, so the Stooges spoke Spanish! Even though we couldn’t understand what they were saying, we could still follow the story and comedy and had a ball laughing. Then in 1982 we got cable, and on Superstation WTBS we finally got to see the Stooges speak English and it changed everything! I don’t know how many times I’ve watched the shorts over the 50 years I’ve been on this planet, but The Three Stooges never get old and I still laugh every time I watch.
This is a nine part documentary of the 3 Stooges that took us from the immigration of the parents of Moe, Shemp, and Curly in the 1890s to the births, lives, careers, and deaths of the individual Stooges and their enduring popularity, influence, and legacy, all wrapped up in an endearing love letter from Moe's son Paul to his dad. Sure there's probably more to be said. We are, after all talking about the lives of six men, seven if you count Ted Healy. But as it is, it's pretty comprehensive
Thank You! And like the other commenters... this was so comprehensive and AWESOME! I too watched the Stooges in repeats in the early 1970's on TV as a kid. Great to know their story & to see the real people behind the act. What an amazing person your dad was! Heck, all the stooges were all amazing & leave a great legacy! Kudos to their wives & families that also had to live through their fame & the ups & downs of show business.
I am absolutely loving these retrospective vids, about T3S!!!! I became a Stooge fan very early on in my life. My mother had them on, one New Years eve.. I was bout 7 yrs old, and I was hooked from the get go! Curly was the one I was drawn too the most. It always amazed me as a kid, how Curly would always seem to pick himself back up, after taking a wallop from Moe and or Larry!!! Thanks for putting these out.. absolutely warms my heart!!!! ❤
I grew up watching the Three Stooges and I can only describe them and their films and movies in one word. And that is TIMELESS. They do indeed truly live on.
I loved this series! I thought I knew alot of the story of the 3 Stooges but turns out I only knew a little bit, and this series really got into the depth of the families, show business, the ups, the downs, and everything in between. Thanks for posting this series, I have a much better understanding of these guys!
Thank you for doing this! I can't imagine my childhood without them, I taped every episode in the early 80"s on VHS when they were on Sunday Mornings at 11am I got 48hrs on tape with no commercials, I loved every minute of doing it too, God Bless You & much Love to You & Your Family, Thank You again... Hey Paul, Great Commentary & Great Father & Son Philosophy...
A sizable chunk of my childhood was taken up watching the Stooges on TV. Loved them. I still have a warm place in my heart for those three silly fellas. This series was a loving (and informational!) tribute. Bravo!
I was at the first Stooge convention in Philly, in 1987. I got to meet Paul and Joan. Great, warm people. So glad this wonderful documentary was done. Stooges forever!
I love the stooges! Watched them while I had cancer, the laughter kept me going, when ever I'm in a bad mood I'll watch the Stooges and every thing becomes ok 👍
Funny how often it happens that you have one set of thoughts and feelings about a memory of dad. Then years later you find yourself in a situation where it strikes you why it went the way it did. Even long after they have moved on you can still learn more about them by having experiences in your own life. It seems the older I get the more "Aha!" moments I have about mine. Miss ya Pa. Thank you Paul, thanks to all, and thank you Moe.
All I can say is Thank You! This brought back memories of my father, and no matter what, there is always the love between a father and son. Sometime live is to short to realize this. My father liked the 3 stooges also. Thanks for your memories and keeping the 3 Stooges alive for future generations. They did when I was a kid and will always make me laugh. Thanks again!!!!
These guys are the Greatest comedy icons the world has ever seen. Ever time I watch them even to this day while I am watching them I forget ever problem I ever had they made the world laugh. RIP GUYS YOU ARE TRULY MISSED.
Been watching their shorts from the 1960's right up to the one's I saw a few days ago. I typically find them channel surfing and that's always the end of the search! I can't even imagine how many hundreds of millions of people they touched through their entertainment. Great story!
About twenty years ago I had a Moe Knows Headslaps teashirt ! I wore it out! HA! I received more cudos over that shirt! The Three Stooges will live forever! Thank You so much! Great Series!
Amazing, heartfelt truth. I miss my dad too. 😔.I watched Stooges as a young boy with my dad. I remember him laughing at Shemp and such. I watched them as a younger man, and I watch them even now and now its turned into a comfort thing. A thing that takes me back to a simpler, easier, and golden time for me. Thanks Paul for sharing your story. God bless. 😊👍
Awesome series thank you, and thank the Stooges for the laughs, (my first recollection of seeing them was at a childhood friends house on tv a Saturday morning in 1969, it was imperative my Grandsons see the 2012 movie nyuk nyuk)
I was 9 years old in 1975. I was watching the reruns of the shorts at that time. The shorts pre-dated both my older brothers and the Curley era even pre-dated my mom. Only my dad was old enough to remember the shorts when they started in 1934. He was about 14 then. No television or televised broadcast then, you had to see them in the movie theater. Today you can watch them on RU-vid... and most who don't remember a time before the Internet take this for granted.
0:42-3:16 music to my ears 🎼 3:17-13:13 RIP Larry & Moe 😭 (cue John Williams’ theme to Schindler’s List) 😭 17:34-18:51 a star(s) is born ⭐️ 20:03-20:54 the Curly Shuffle 48:01 here’s pie in your eye 😂😂😂
Best quote ever; so poignant and relevant -“What do we learn from our fathers? More than we think but less than we should, and that this common generational tragedy, endlessly repeated defines too many lives. Mine included” Thank you for such a wonderful retrospective to these wonderful men.
I'm 47 and i never missed the 3 stooges after Kung fu theater on Saturday nights and I never missed it.pleas bring the stooges back to television because they are true comedy and I would love to see them on television again.they were great comedians.rest easy,my friends🙏🙏.
How fitting and wonderful these shorts gave us a place to laugh and smile and make it through the pandemic of the year 2020. God bless your amazing family and the joy that was a light in a dark time in the world.
For many years, Boston television station WSBK has broadcast a "Three Stooges Marathon" for five or six hours on New Year's, featuring thirteen or fourteen shorts. The great majority of shorts WSBK has shown on their annual Stoogeathons feature Curly, although sometimes, a Shemp or Joe short might be broadcast.
Grew up watching with my Dad and now watching with my 7 year old son and my 4 year old daughter and they love them as much as my Dad and I do! 🍻 LEGENDS
I’m 67,I remember coming home from school and watching stooge shorts,early morning Saturday as well. Always will be a happy memory of my youth! Thanks to RU-vid,still watching to this day!
Thank you for this, the hours of laughs they provided through our youth! We watched so many reruns through the 1960's, my wife and I still say "nyuk nyuk nyuk" to each other.
This is awesome, I just got finished watching all the Curly-era shorts on RU-vid. All the female actresses in those shows are all passed away now, Julie Gibson lived to 106. Nancy Saunders passed away in 2020 at 94.
I have watched this production.I have only one question. Is there any short available for viewing that has not been edited for television? I would pay for a collection of all shorts in their entirety.
33:55-33:58 - Just seeing Brad Server, a.k.a. Curly G, up there with his mom Marylin Server, Curly's daughter, reminded me of an article I've read, where Brad told an experience whenever he would tell others that he was the grandson of the late Curly, most people would not believe it...even though he IRONICALLY is. Admittedly, I couldn't believe it when I found out about it myself. I thought that was fascinating when I realized it. So now I'm thinking...Next time anyone doubts that Curly G is the real grandson of Curly...maybe they should ask his mother....at least she knows HIS name...🤣
this was great to watch. i got to see the stooges in person when they were at an amusement park in the boston area about 1960. i also had a 3 stooges puzzle of them in a cowboy western scene.
This is amazing.....I've been engrossed from part 1 thru... People should recognize the TIMELESSNESS of these wonderful men. I'm laughing, crying and more importantly.... WATCHING THE STOOGES WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER!!! SHES IN HYSTERICS!!!! I REMEMBER!!!!! THIS is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced.
I am so grateful the three stooges lived for me in my childhood I never thought they were long gone when I grew up in the 80s My parents never told me And I'm glad they didn't ane let me grew up to enjoy laugh and love the Three Stooges #Legends
I remember in 1974, when I was 8 and watching the Three Stooges in syndication, Moe would come on commercials and talk shows about his time with the group. He had white hair then. Larry was also in commercials on that channel; he was confined to a wheelchair and had trouble speaking clearly. I used to picture how Shemp would appear and when I would see him in what I considered modern times; little did I know he had been passed away 19 years then. We didn't have the Internet or RU-vid in 1974, all the information I got was from the TV, and nowhere did I read or hear that Shemp had passed away in 1955, or Curly in 1952.
Started watching the reruns in third grade, circa 1974. Moe and Larry were still alive and in commercials. In fourth grade I read in the paper Moe had passed away. RIP. They started before televised broadcast and television. A lot of the creativity in that day has been lost with the advancement of special effects and motion graphics technology.
My last ten days have been nothing short of 'craptacular', culminating with the news that I'll need to travel darn near 300 miles for what will likely be an unwanted outcome, at best. Many thanks for producing this very informative trip down memory lane, be safe, stay healthy, and keep 'em coming!
We kids that grew up watching the three stooges !!! It was like we knew them personally ??? They great movie stars and even now at age 84 I still watch them on early morning shows !!! Thank you for this great information about these great people's !!
I started watching the Three Stooges when I was 5 and I've been watching them since im 29 now and they will always hold up the greatest comedians of all time.
Moe Was right they are still around till this day I remember the first time I saw a stooge short at 4 or 5 And I couldn't wait to see another one, So I started sneaking out of bed to watch them late night and then again in the afternoon I was hooked and here I am now at 46 years of age still a fan of the Stooges. So to the Kings of slapstick I say, Rest In Why I Oughta!!!
