Terrible package design, but wonderful content!.

The cover designs on these DVDs are awful compared to the previous DVD releases. But that's just a nit pick I guess. The shorts look wonderful on these new DVDs and are FINALLY priced affordable!

What's Not To Love About The Stooges?!.

Rating: 5
Ever since I was a child, I can remember laughing until my side hurt at the antics of Moe, Larry, and Curly. However, until just recently, the only ways to relive those hilarious moments were through short syndication stints on AMC and SpikeTV. Sure, a zillion DVD sets of the Stooges have been produced in the last couple decades, but none in the format that TV fans want...season-by-season (or, in the Stooges' case, year-by-year, as "seasons" hadn't even been thought of yet!). With the release of this DVD volume, though, the Stooges can finally be enjoyed in their purest form...one after another of pure hilarity!

Though it is a bit difficult to describe the antics of the Three Stooges, suffice it to say that they defined the genre of "slapstick" comedy. Mostly, the Stooges' shorts (each "episode" runs about 15-17 minutes in length) see the Stooges as down-on-their-luck Depression-era bums looking to do anything (sports, work, marriage, etc.) to make a buck. Of course, because they are so inept at working as a team, hilarity ensues! The Stooges were also masters of physical comedy (by far the best that has ever graced the Silver Screen of television), and their crazy slaps, punches, and manic routines will have you marveling at their physical talents as actors.

I mainly bought this set to reminisce by myself, but my younger (10 years old) sister also took a liking to them, and thus we started watching them together on a regular basis. She loves the silliness of Curly, the cluelessness of Larry, and how Moe always concocts the schemes but mostly ends up on the receiving end of the chaos!

To conclude, the Three Stooges are a comedy team that will never die, but came quite close to fading into obscurity before these DVD's were released. Now, however, you (and your family members) can appreciate their comedic genius for years to come!

Will you be buying Volume II after this purchase? As Curly would say: "Soitenly"!
