When Columbia Pictures signed The Three Stooges to a long-term film contract starting back in 1934, little did they realize that these knuckleheads would soon go on to become one of the country’s most popular and best-loved comedy teams of all time. Finally, Sony has gotten things right for a change by releasing these DVD sets containing the classic short films made by the Stooges for Columbia. Even better is the fact that the shorts are presented in high definition and in the original release order. The complete contents of the first four volumes and the first half of volume five feature every one of the films with the trio of Moe, Larry and Curly from their debut “Woman Haters” to their last film together, “Half-Wits Holiday”. The second half of volume five and all of volume six features the original Stooge line-up of Moe, Larry and Shemp starting with the film short “Fright Night”. To have this collection is a Stoogeaholic dream come true. These shorts are in the most pristine versions ever made available. Now, we can hardly wait for the remaining titles with Shemp, along with the Joe Besser shorts that end with “Sappy Bullfighters”. The Three Stooges are an invaluable part of American popular culture; and these DVDs are proof positive why they are still so much fun to watch, even into the 21st century.

The video quality is the best that you can get for B/W and the audio is excellent! I have gotten many before this and been disappointed. No disappointment here! If you are a stooges fan buy it now.
