1. Booby Dupes: A very good episode in which the boys work for a fish business and in order to increase profits they decide to buy their own boat and catch all the fish themselves. 5/5
2. Crash Goes The Hash: I liked this episode very much. The Stooges are mistaken for reporters and are hired to get the scoop on a big story. 4/5
3. Dutiful But Dumb: This one was ok not great. My favorite scene is when Curly goes nuts and starts shooting at a bowl of oyster stew. The Stooges are photographers who are sent to Vulgaria to get some pictures but they soon find out that shooting pictures in Vulgaria is a crime. 3/5
4. How High Is Up: A real good Stooge Short. The Stooges are fix-it men who get hired as riveters for a construction company. They are assigned to a skyscraper to work on the 97th floor of a new building. 4/5
5. Three Missing Links: Not one of my favorites but tolerable. The boys are casted for a movie set in Africa, Curly as a gorilla & Moe & Larry as cavemen. They later encounter a real gorilla. 3/5
All in all this Stooge DVD is a must have for Stooge fans. December 26, 2006

I spent my teen years in Tampa, Florida, avoiding all three networks in favor of WTOG, 44, an independent station which had extremely good taste in oldies. Back before cable, folks. Very little color and nobody gives a flying fig. Great stuff. Including, little brother Barry and me laughing our butts off at Three Stooges reruns. Well, um, we never saw any of this. It really sucks. Badly. Curly was getting his routine together, but it wasn't there yet. My weak Curly imitations are far far funnier than anything on this DVD. It's so old that the slapstick wasn't funny yet, and they knew it, so they were doing verbal humor.
Yep, you read right. The Stooges tried to be verbal. Ahem. This is so lame. Just to make it worse, I can't even show it to my students whilst I sleep on the windowsill, because the language is too difficult for an ESL class. Difficult language in The Three Stooges? Yep, difficult language in The Three Stooges. I'm so incredibly freaked right now that I can't even talk. Mr Bean does Hamlet and Michael hangs himself from a shower rod.
It's only 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, so I guess that counts for something. But damn, it sucks. No redeeming qualities whatsoever, and it is hell on a FAN of these guys to see that something like this exists. Gawd, I pass myself off as an intelligent guy, but choose to defend The Three Stooges from time to time, and this here DVD is indefensible. Sheeyit. What a bummer. Stick my head in a steam press as if I were wrinkled laundry and hear me go "Woo woo woo woo woo!" Haha, so funny! Nyuk nyuk nyuk! August 28, 2006
