What’s not to like about The Three Stooges

Well "Three Stooges" fans can now exhale because Sony Pictures has released the second "Three Stooges Collection" volume two from 1937-1939 with the same amazing video and sound quality as found in the volume one set. Once again fans will be happy to find that all 24 shorts in this outstanding two-disc set are in chronological order and In my opinion they're isn't a bad one in the bunch. By 1937-39 the "Three Stooges" were finding their groove and the quality of their shorts was a testament that bigger and better things were still to come from the trio.As a "Three Stooges" fan who purchased the first "Three Stooges Collection" volume one the 1934-1936 years I wondered if Sony Pictures would continue to release future sets with the same level of quality shorts found in the volume one set or if this was another studio ploy to screw stooge fans out of their hard earned money, yet again. In the past Sony Studios has been famous for releasing products with inferior quality and sometimes canceling future installments for no reason leaving fans with incomplete sets.Of the 24 shorts presented in volume two many of them really stand out "Grips, Grunts and Groans", "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb", "Three Missing Links", "Calling all Curs" and my personal favorite "Violent is the Word for Curly" are filled with hilarious high jinks as only the three Stooges could serve up for their legions of fans. Volume two is also somewhat of a milestone for the Three Stooges as we are treated to the new stooge theme song as first heard in the short "Flat Foot Stooges". The debut of "Three Blind Mice" melody as the Stooges new theme song, which replaced the "Listen to the Mockingbird." theme is a welcomed change and it enhanced the stooge shorts from then on.Once again Sony Pictures has done an incredible job with the video and sound remastering and they should be commended for their efforts. The digitally remastered video transfers are simply amazing; no longer do these shorts look like they were made over 70 years ago and the completely restored soundtrack is the best I've ever heard. Missing from the newly remastered shorts is the debris, grain, dirt and sound hissing that used to plague these wonderful shorts. The set contains 24 shorts on two single sided discs packaged in slim cases. The disc artwork and packaging is fantastic to say the least, making this set even more attractive and highly collectible for fans to own.On a final note Stooge Fans will be pleased that these newly remastered shorts are finally presented complete and uncut, politically incorrect and in all they're Black & White splendor for fans to enjoy over and over.

Seriously, there are not a whole lot of things I can say about this collection of timeless, classic Stooge episodes that has not already been said before. However, I really must say that this collection from the last few years of the 1930s is full of some of the best moments in their career that any Stooge fan could ask for. After all, the early years with Curly are where it is at.What is especially notable about this collection is the inclusion of the episode “Violent Is The Word For Curly” from which the super-famous “B-I-Bickey-Bi” song came (please correct me if I spelled that wrong), and still has millions singing along to this day. Another one which is worthy to note is “Goofs And Saddles,” which contains the parts where Moe, Larry and Curly disguise themselves as bushes to spy on the bandits, befuddling them in the process, and not to mention the part near the end of the episode where the meat-grinder turns into a makeshift Gatling gun, enabling the boys to help subdue the bad guys. Not once have I been able to watch these parts and not find myself fighting to stop myself from having an accident in my pants from laughing so hard. Another stooge fan favorite included here is “We Want Our Mummy” in which they expedite to Egypt to find the lost mummy of King “Rooten-Tooten” and a kidnapped professor. Again, as predicted, their antics inadvertently subdue the villains in their tracks. In “Grips, Grunts And Groans,” how could anyone not find themselves rolling on the floor with more laughs upon Curly going crazy at the smell of Wild Hyacinth and beating the living daylights out of everyone within reach? Honestly, I could go on and on for days about all the episodes in this season. After all, it is the Stooges in their prime. What’s NOT to love?Honestly, whether they are smacking each other around, poking each other in the eyes, ruining parties, making a mess, destroying things, or just creating pure havoc in general, the Stooges NEVER disappoint, no questions asked. They have invoked laugher in millions the world over for several generations, and will continue to do so for all generations to come. Quality comedy like this NEVER gets old, it DOES NOT have an expiration date, and it can NEVER be recreated or reinvented. Calling the Stooges “legends” is simply an understatement, and NONE of the childish junk on Disney or Nickelodeon that passes off as “comedy” nowadays can EVER compare to the Stooges and will certainly never, and I mean NEVER stand the same test of time. I should not even have to say that, because that is just common sense!Anyways, just buy this already, and as always my fellow stooges fanatics: N’YUK-N’YUK-N’YUK and WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO-WOO!!!

Good quality.

If you're a fan of the Three Stooges like I am, you cannot go wrong with Volume 2. This pair of DVDs contains '24 digitally remastered shorts presented in their original release order' from 1937- 1939. These were their glory years, the years before Curly got sick, when they were at their slap happy best, their fittest and funniest. (I also recommend Volume 1, 1934- 1936.) If you're interested in an episode listing, here it is. 1937- Grips, Grunts and Groans/ Dizzy Doctors/ Three Dumb Clucks/ Back To The Woods/ Goofs and Saddles/ Cash and Carry/ Playing the Ponies/ The Sitter-Downers. 1938- Termites of 1938/ Wee Wee Monsieur/ Tassels in the Air/ Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb/ Violent is the Word for Curly/ Three Missing Links/ Mutts to You/ Flat Foot Stooges.1939- Three Little Sew and Sews/ We Want Our Mummy/ A-Ducking They Did Go/ Yes, We Have No Bonanza/ Saved By the Belle/ Calling All Curs/ Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise/ Three Sappy People.

What wouldn't you like about the Three Stooges. They are so funny, very good entertainment. Very satisfied with my dvd.

Technically excellent quality, Im a fan they have me rolling in the isles, quiet stupid and crass but so enjoyable, I know some people cant get it and hate them, just love the stupid humour, they are really very clever despite what you may think. keeps me sane watching their childish antics just wish I could have been one of them. Highly recommended.If you like them you won't be disappointed. What story lines there is in some of the items is extremely funny, only wish we could get them in the house of Parliament they certainly wouldn't be out of place their either.

Tapes arrived sooner than we thought and a beautiful addition to our collection
