The Columbia TriStar Home Video Three Stooges series that was releaased in 2002 is a waste. They organized the two-reelers by the profession or theme of the short. Thus, Cops and robbers, Dizzy Doctors, G I Stooge, etc.
The magic of watching the Stooges, whether it was at the theater or on TV in the 60s, was you never knew what job or time-period the Stooges would be in.
In contrast, with these DVDs, it gets tedious watching back-to-back, all reporters, all detectives, all doctors, all army men, etc., etc. Plus a lot of the pratfalls and gags are EXACTLY the same since it is the same premise.
What a major screw up! There are many of us who would kill to get all the Stooges, in chronological order on DVD, yet the only thing they make available to us is this aggravating, un-buyable series.
