May 15- Right Before Sven- It’s NEW Stooges This Week!
Each week, right before the Svengoolie program, you can enjoy two full hours of the beloved trio (with a few alternating members) that has entertained generation after generation- none other than the Three Stooges!
With almost one hundred different themed shows in our library, “3 Stooges Stooge-a-palooza” has become a tradition with many families- with people of various ages sitting down to watch-together- the comedy of Moe, Larry, Curly and/or Shemp and/or Joe. So, I thought I’d drop this choice morsel of news here for all you Stooge fans- this Saturdays “Stooge-a-palooza”- is a new show-one that has never aired before! And- it just so happens to be another round of the game that seems to be so popular with our viewers- “Catch the Connection!” That’s the fun challenge where, we show you the usual five Stooge shorts- and YOU have to determine what one consistent element appears in every one of the films! There is a specific thing we’re thinking of- a phrase, an object, an action-
That will be in each short. Now, before some of you take those wild guesses- it is NEVER “Moe and Larry are in every short” or “Curly says ‘soiteny!’” or ‘They play the Stooges theme song at the beginning.”(By the way, there was NOT a misprint in that sentence- all real Stooge fans know that Curly doesn’t say “Soitenly’- he says ‘soiteny!’-with no ‘l’!-even if there IS the on-line store called “Soitenly Stooges!”) So, stop by and play along- that’ll be at 7 pm, right before Sven. (Milwaukee and South Bend- check your local listings for day and time…)
Since we deal with monsters here, people have often asked if the 3 Stooges ever met monsters like Abbott and Costello did-
well, Bud and Lou had an edge on them, since they worked for Universal, which had the rights to the big monsters, and the Stooges were Columbia guys. We did see the Stooges meet a mummy (not “THE Mummy”) and a Wolfman-like guy…but they never got to mix it up with Dracula or the Frankenstein Monster, due to copyright issues. They did meet their share of mad doctors, skeletons, ghosts, living statues, and devils, however!
Though it would most likely have been with Joe Besser (or the feature film third Stooge Curly Joe deRita) they might have at least tangled with “the Blob”- since that was done under the Columbia banner. Knowing how many of our viewers feel about Joe Besser, they might have complained that he WAS the Blob!
Regardless- I hope you’ll tune in to “Stooge-a-palooza” this Saturday night, and play along with our “Catch the Connection” game- then, relax and catch the infection- with Svengoolie! (Even I can’t believe I wrote that…)
