Black And White Comedies
 

Anybody else grow up watching The Three Stooges, Little Rascals, and Abbott & Costello? How about Laurel & Hardy or the Marx Brothers?

I loved Curly and Moe of the Stooges, Porky of the Rascals, and THe movie where Abbott & Costello meet the werewolf.

Does anybody else even remember these guys? (Or at least Eddy Murphy doing Buckwheat?)

I grew up...
 

on all the comedians you mentioned , But I have an undying love for the Three Stooges...

Matter-of-fact, I found it ironic that when Debbie was in the hospital the second day at the start of a long hospital stay, That the episode which features the Stooges as "Dr.Howard, Dr.Fine, Dr.Howard" was on the TV (AMC was having a New Year's Eve "Stooge Marathon") as I arrived at the hospital...I think that was God's way of sending a message to us, Because it literally became a real life Stooge episode with the constant visits from Dr's trying to figure out what went wrong & how it happened (Which we do know, But are unable to find a lawyer who would be willing to sit and hear the whole horrid story & give their honest opinion of this f--ked up situation.)

Yeah, The Stooges are my favorite as well, and I love that one where they're doctors. Other favorites are the one with the bear, the one with Three Blind Mice, and especially the one where they are trying to catch mice in a mansion and they start a pie fight at a cocktail party.

Hehehehe...
 

"This house sure gone crazy"

My fave Stooge episodes are the one with the "He-Man Woman Hater's Club" (That musical cracks me up) & the one where Curly's is a boxer and he has to have "Pop Goes The Weasel" playing to fight and at the end of the episode he knocks everyone out.

Hell, If it's a Stooge short with Moe ("O-May"), Larry ("Arry-Lay") & Curly ("Curly Q") then it will have my undivided attention.

And what does Debbie think about them? They say there's quite a gender divide when it comes to The Stooges.

She...
 

loves the Stooges, We basically like the same stuff in regards to comedies from the black & white era of Holly-weird, I mean Hollywood.

Hell, My Mom is the one responsible for my love of the Stooges (She has all kinds of Stooge collectibles & some Beatles collectibles that I will inherit in the distant future.).

When I was in elementary school years ago every morning our TV was tuned to KTVT Channel 12 (A Dallas channel we had on cable) that showed a few hours of the Stooges each weekday morning before we went off to school.

Yep
 

Sundays in the Philly area - either Channel 48 or 29. Stooges and Rascals in the morning, then an Abbott & Costello movie at 1:00 in the afternoon. Those were the days before cable and there was NOTHING else on for kids on Sundays.

Lucky guy. A wife who likes the Stooges.
