As a child I would get up early weekdays and catch a few minutes of the Three Stooges before I rushed off to school. In the afternoon I would make it home from school just in time to catch the afternoon Stooges cartoon series that was inter-mingled with live sketches by the Stooges.
Saturday was a Stoogefest for at least an hour. Saturday Three Stooges time was my favorite because the oldest Three Stooges films were played that included Curly. Like so many other kids, Curly was my favorite-he still is.
What made the Three Stooges so funny? That’s a hard question to answer. The slapstick antics were one thing, the absurdity of the characters, the comedic timing and most importantly, Larry, Moe and Curly made a perfect team-a team of idiots-but a team nonetheless.
