Yes Because of How Stooge Humor outside of the Stooges is not funny and because it's only funny in the way that they do it. As Leonard Maltin said it's well meaning but a completely unfunny tale of Howard F. Howard .Who's passion for the 3 stooges has overtaken his life.Incorporates real footage and while most of it is far from their best,it's still vastly superior to the new material in this feature.For those who care,some of the Stooge footage is computer-colorized. I also really do praise Leonard Maltin for his critiques he's very lenient but still in some instances still does well when leniency is not deserved.

Next to add to this on 4/19/2020 : I even came to it wearing my 3 stooges shirt of which I'd gotten for Christmas almost 2 years prior and some guy said"Look he's got a 3 stooges shirt."after the movie that guy even was taking a closer look after we got out of that theater.

Yes Because it heavily dwelt upon Houdini's failures as even my Mom told me about this as well as the way little kids felt about this.Also being so as the basic premise of the Movie. But It still has a great all star cast including Paul Michael Glaser of Starsky and Hutch;Sally Struthers of All in the family;and Vivian Vance of I Love Lucy ;The Lucy Show and that 1977 Special of The President of The USA.Bill Bixby of My Favorite Martian and The Incredible Hulk fame,Also Jack Carter. Truly, Stephen "Steve" G. Baer of Framingham,MA P.S. Like Magic my personal Family name of Ste was come up with by the gift of gab and when my older Brother J.Kevin couldn't say Stephen.Also of which is a result of why i couldn't be brought up to prefer Stephen.Yes this is also the way allot of people get there nicknames.Like my Late Great Grandmother Alice Bouchet when my father Jack couldn't Say Grammy and when he said Bambi it thusly stuck. When I told this guy Stephen "Steve" Nutile of how I got to be Ste he then told that he knew of some other that that happened to and that when one of these boys couldn't say Brothers they Became the Bubs.Yes these memories more than have just brought happy tears to my eyes.

That's The general gist of Major Mudd ,himself, his show and all.

"I'll be Blasting you!"What he's most famous for saying too.

By The way as we experts know for the last season of the show it was called Skiddle Alley.

P.S. I got Ste via my Brother J.Kevin being a year older than me because he couldn't Say Stephen and of which is why I couldn't be brought up to prefer Stephen.

P.P.S. Edward Thomas MacDonnel is the real name of Major Mudd.

Yes That's right when on 5/15/1997 my Younger Brother Mark told me that this was on and just as I was wrapping up watching "Jeopardy!" I then got to do each of the following watch,enjoy it, and record it. It's a great blend of the then and now in B/W .It was also great to see Barry Williams a.k.a." Greg Brady"sing the song of "That's The way ,they remain the Stooges 3."

Yes It's a great follow-up of Planet of The Apes including The Comics and the latest one here to date that I made possible Pota:The Forbidden Zone of which includes The Little or not known Peacetime from Battle for The Planet of The Apes.Even see my follow-up in Protectors#16.

Yes How I recall this Special from The Summer of 1975 along with how no sooner had My Father Jack,My Older Brother J.Kevin,my Younger Brother Mark and I had arrived at The Brickyard Mountain in in Laconia NH and had turned on the TV that this Summer Special and I even said Sally's fat .Yes and so was her friend of which makes it funny because why should they switch these to these dolls when all that they had to do was use the old ones."I even told this to the 2nd of my Younger Sisters ,Denise & even had asked Mark "isn't it true?"then he said "Oh yes Denise that's right up in Laconia when we watched "Davey and Goliath."Sally was fat and so was her friend."Also Apparently this has not come to Youtube as of yet but if we can look it up online how to get it there?Then it just might help.Sadly both Producers Art and Ruth Clokey are no longer with us.

2/20/2020 Now in getting it updated I saw as of 2 days ago it now has come to youtube.

Yes this special was on the night of my 34th Birthday on May15th,1997.It's a nice last second Birthday present too.My Younger Brother Mark told me that it was going to be on so that was last secondish when he told me but better last secondish than not at all.There were scenes recreating scenes fron # Stooges features and in doing so blending the then and the now and still fully in Black and White but you'll have to watch it and see it for yourself to understand me. I really like the singing seen with Barry Williams a.k.a. "Greg Brady"singing "That's the way they remain the stooges 3." to the tune of "That's the way we became the Brady Bunch."Because even though their were 6 team members or 7 if you count Emil Sitka when he was going to succeed Larry as Harry the Stooge in the Middle but it never saw the light and was going to be called The New New Three Stooges.

Yes I really liked this special and am grateful that My Younger Brother Mark informed me of it just in time and in a pinch so that i got even record it just in time too.It was also a wonderful last second Birthday Present to me on this my 34th Birthday on May15th,1997. It was a great blend of both the then and now with scenes from The 3 Stooges features like the phone booth scene of which Moe,Larry,and Shemp got caught in with that man who'd turn out to be Shemp's Fiance's Husband.But you must watch for yourself to understand. It was a great song scene of Barry Williams a.k.a. "Greg Brady" singing to the tune of That's the way we became The Brady Bunch,"That's the way they remain the Stooges 3" and because even though their are 6 of them or 7 if you count Emil Sitka who's the long time Stooge foil and was going to succeed Larry as Harry The Stooge in the middle but it never saw the light.Meaning that's the way they remain The Stooges 3 because they were always only 3 of the 6 team members at once in any feature or 4 as a loophole when Curly got his brief gag appearance in 2 Shemp Features of "Hold that Lion."and used over again in "Booty and the Beast."

Yes this special was on the night of my 34th Birthday on May 15th,1997.My Younger Brother Mark told me that it was going to be on and so that was last secondish when he told me and in a pinch I got to record it but misplaced the VHS Tape too. There were scenes recreating the scenes of Stooge features blending the then with the now but you must watch it to see and understand it for yourself. There was also a scene of Barry Williams a.k.a. "Greg Brady"singing The Stooges three the stooges three that's the way they remain the Stooges three to the tune of "The Brady Bunch The Brady Bunch that's the way we became The Brady Bunch."Maybe by Barry's meaning of That's the way they remain The Stooges three and even though there are 6 team members or 7 if you count Emil Sitka and how they were only 3 at each time that they appeared.There's even an entry in my Brady Bunch Book of Three Stooges Haircuts too.

Yes as I said above and as anyone might guess because of its rude content including the crowd giving that rude gesture it might be why it got both banned as well as not able to submit to youtube.

As Leonard Maltin put it in his review Adults would like it for the all-Star cast of familiar voice supplimentations including Liza Minelli in her mother's role as Dorothy. While it's okay for kids .Margaret Hamilton who Played The Wicked Witch of The West in The Wizard of OZ supplied the voice of Aunty Em in this animated sequel.

Yes The Alphabet song makes as much the feature as it does music history.If there's ever any editing job whatsoever and especially without the song then it's just not the same.A good example of this is that when The Family Channel adapted the 3 Stooges for a time they as my,no pun intended,3rd Cousin Raymond E. DiPirro said they butchered them beyond recognition.But I wont say to what other extent that's not suitable for this site.So He and various other fans and I boycotted The Family Channel.

Yes When "Jeannie said We'll challenge you and may the best investigators win"Then she said to her son T.J.'s guidance Councilor some thing like "they'll have a thing or 2 to learn going up against this Genie!"Then he said "Or this Bob!" Yes it's as The TV-Movie-Video Critic Leonard Maltin said in This Tony is off in Space Yes as literally as figuratively and you'll see upon watching this.Also as he put it The best performance is by Djin Djin the invisible dog.Meaning he's not seen at all and that is how.

Jeannie has 24 hours to get a temporary master and T.J. is too young while Roger can't because he's married.

So Jeannie and T.J. turn to Bob with just seconds left and then T.J. and Jeannie each kiss Bob with Thanks on opposite cheeks.Bob is played by Ken Kercheval of Dallas and must have been invited by Barbara Eden because of how she was on for a time and whether or not by Larry Hagman's invitation?But he still wouldn't come back to do an/any I Dream of Jeanie Reunion except on a Talk Show like he did.

You might check it out on youtube.

As The review for this show in The Book of Harry and Wally's Favorite TV Shows goes This mistake that they did make was because The Movies had already been Sequeled to death.It funny as well as interesting how when an Earthquake puts Burke and Urko underground and they are 2 enemies with only one choice that is each other in order to survive.Burke sees the zoo poster with the gorilla in the cage but with no success in trying to distract Urko from seeing it.Burke turns true human history into fake ape history to try to keep Urko from getting mad at him but with no success in trying to do so.Urko finds The Poster used his knife to cut it off ,then folds it and puts it into his sleeve.later they hear morse code tapping on the beam Burke answers back and tells Urko the question is what's your wife's name then he says Ulda and then Burke answers Ulda. When Urko tells how he found out the truth of his ancestors and it makes him go ape and how he even found the poster.Burke then sad "Listen Urko I lied to you to keep you from getting mad at me so that I could continue to help you to get out of here.You find out I'm Lying and you still get mad at me.Listen Urko because you didn't want to know the truth that my Ancestors were a superior race to your ancestors who were a dominant race." Urko then puts his knife towards Burke and he aims the solar lamp for it to conduct a wave to shock Urko. Then it worked.But read more of this elsewhere on Imbd for one of my reviews.Also look into Malibu Graphics POTA:The Forbidden Zone of which I'd made possible when their previous mini-series didn't quite agree with what The Fifth movie of "Battle" had inspired in POTA: Blood of the apes.Yes they were just as annoyed by me as they were glad to have me their for them as you'd see in Protectors#16 in which in my letter with the write-o and not to confused with typo I signed it Stephen "Steve" as far as it got because I was in a pinch to send it out.

Yes in the book of Harry and Wally's "Rating the TV Shows." This series was a mistake to make when the movies had already been sequeled to death.However as it's said on other sites The November 1,1974 episode of the lady ape Fauna of whom is blind is definitely the best and most heart touching episode. It's called The Deception and for the reasons why as you'll see in reading my review of it. Sadly it was left out of the edited 2 hour TV Movies I guess with space being limited.But like some things this can be more popular in reruns.We may find some other sentiments here & there and throughout the series but other than this the 14 episode TV series was may have been more over a waste of time at the time.But still more Popular in Reruns.In episode#1 an ape boy has a dog and because someone hadn't done their homework as I'd seen elsewhere.But in one of he comics by Malibu Graphics they had a bubble that saved some wolves from the plague so maybe we can turn to that theory sometime.Also how The Movie of "Battle"of which is the fifth and final installment ends with the little or not known peacetime opening in 2070 A.D.with The Lawgiver telling the story to an equal Society of Human's and Apes.Which in bringing to Malibu Graphics attention they were just as annoyed by me as they were glad to have me there for them.I made the miniseries of Planet of the apes possible and though they mentioned in their intros at the start of each of the 4 issues the datas that I had brought to their attentions they didn't ever mention my name.Then when I wrote to Protectors re:#12 and my letter was seen in #16 I asked them to please keep it coming then they said that their POTA stuff is all over with now that they had a blast doing it and were glad that i was there for them.Ending with my name as Stephen "Steve" because I was in a rush which caused as a friend once put it to me a write-o and correcting me when i called something a typo instead.In Boom Comics they opened up their POTA#1 with the year of 2080 A.D. and with the diminishing of The little or not known Peacetime from "Battle."with a human in a ninja suit doing something unspeakable using his cross-bow towards the Lawgiver who ends up in a glass case and the humans and apes get to fighting among each other.So when we see the start of the opening of The POTA episode we now might know why they're not at peace.This takes place in 3085 A.D.and the 1st episode opens typically like each of the 3 movies did The 1st one and it's 2 sequels to follow.The characters of Virdon; Burke,Galen,and Urko really make the show but The Dr. Zaius of this era maybe takes more of a back seat but he still wants Virdon,Burke,and Galen to go to trial.Galen got to friends with Virdon & Burke because when he supposedly or otherwise accidentally killed a gorilla soldier and had to go to prison and then Virdon told him to step back so that when the door exploded he wouldn't get hurt it damaged the lock and then he got out & became a fugitive with them.The Following year Filmation does Return to the Planet of the Apes which contradicts the whole business as does sequel after sequel of POTA but even more so.In this Cartoon... well check out my review on IMDb for "Return to the Planet of the Apes."and see how?Though my prediction for a planet of the apes cartoon came true before I saw it had.My prediction for a Logan's Run cartoon to followThe Logan's run TV Series never did.

Yes as we well know Jesus didn't really perform a first miracle until the wedding at Cana as well the way Jesus was even responding to his own Mother saying something "What Concern might that be of mine?"Then she said to the men "Go fill Jugs with water and do as he says."Then he had turned the water into wine. However it's still a cute presentation of Jesus as a child performing miracles like Turning clay pigeons into real pigeons and putting his hands into the water to make fish multiply as he would as a grown up multiply the fish and the bread in the baskets.A certain man seen throughout this movie was suspicious of him being the child who missed a certain unspeakable time,of which I just can't specify, and survives it. Anyhow all in all you've just got to watch and enjoy this for yourself sometime without me giving too much away about it. I saw this at Christmastime of 1989 on my local Channel 25 movie presentation.

Yes This is a great cartoon of which I'd first seen on Thanksgiving Saturday night of 1975. I even mistook The title for Gay Paree a.k.a./ or gay Pari. It's a very well made Cartoon. It only takes a few words to tell because there are few and far between to say about it or as the french may say eet. Jaune Tom makes a great character as you'll see. Judy Garland does a great voice supplementation too. Check out Chuck Jones' book Chuck Amuck too. Jaune Tom is interesting with his talent(s) too.

Right from the start with Larry is fiddling the "weasle" tune that vibrates Curly to k.o. everyone in sight and then Moe grabs Larry by the hair saying "Come with us we're now a corporation."Then all of the scenes of Curly winning a by a k.o. and This is even how Curly get's the name of K.O. Bossey for his boxer's name.

Contrary to many people's beliefs this is their second short subject feature while the first is Women Hater's.

Yes these are the features that hey did without their boss,Ted Healy

Yes As Movie reviewers in Rating The Movies tell its just a movie that's an additional adventure to The TV-Series of which was not too hot to begin with.However it's also in The Tradition of both The 1966 Batman Theater Movie of which was a follow-up to The TV show that had inspired it.Also in the tradition of The X-files Movie that The TV- show of the same name had inspired.

My Mom Mary E.(Garvey) Baer thought it was so funny hearing the people on board the spaceship saying yearns instead of years.Then My Older Brother J.Kevin said to her"It's just their way of saying years."

Truthfully,Stephen "Steve" G. Baer a.k.a."Ste" of Framingham,MA.USA

P.S.

As I've also told on IMDb before J.Kevin came up with Ste for me being just a year older than me and unable to say Stephen at the time and of which is why I couldn't be brought up to prefer Stephen.

Yes it's very well put as my Mother Mary E.(Garvey)Baer put it "People who like it like it allot but most people don't."She even told how there was this Priest at Stonehill College who just so that he could finish watching Battlestar Galactica Changed The 9:00pm Mass to the 9:10 pm Mass.My sister Maureen who was The first of 6 siblings of mine out of all 9 to go to Stonehill.

It has Special very good effects and as Some people might put it like my sister Denise did "I swear it's just like Starwars."She was the 3rd of 6 siblings to go to Stonehill The others going down the line were Kevin,Michelle,Elaine, and Jenny.Karen went to Tufts and Mark and I went to Framingham State.I went to Massbay too. Also to think as I read elsewhere on This IMDb site George Lucas The Producer of Star Wars had turned involvement in it down.No surprise either. Before Galactica 1980 would come next year a theater Movie of Battlestar Galactica would come next.In The Book of Rating The Movies they'd even tell how The Movie was inspired by the TV show of which wasn't too hot to begin with.So it makes sense why this wasn't too good either.

Yes what power what might when Larry plays "Pop goes the weasel." on the fiddle something pops inside of Curly so that he can K.O. everyone around. Curly as the result of this even get's The name of K.O. Bossey. You should even just watch and enjoy this for yourselves time after time to know what power and what punch it packs. This is The 2nd Three Stooges feature of their series of Columbia Pictures Shorts as well as outside of their time with their old time Boss of Ted Healy. I first recall seeing this in The Wintertime of 1972 and shortly after the New Year too. There first of course is "Women Haters."But others elsewhere on this site of IMDb think that this feature of Punch Drunks is there first feature and no wonder because it's got The best recognition.

Yes Just when Battlestar Galactica got canceled after one season The only way to take it any further was to have them achieve their goal to find earth many years later and with among other things Boxy being grown up as Captain Troy.Having a 14 year old boy with a British accent who's equivalent to a Wiseman and even played by 2 different actors as I'd read in a Sci-Fi TV book.We still see Lord Commander Adama who's looking the same as before.Two Spacemen chased by cops in a police car and get way from them when their motor cycles turn into sky cycles with the cops getting out to look at them fly way into the sky.The Star children who discover their superpowers on earth and their capacities to jump high into the sky and spread seeds for planting and even get to be the winning baseball team.Yes I liked this better than the first season.Because among other reasons you can experience The Gilligan's Island theme more than once too often til you've had it even more than up to here in this they achieve their goal to find earth and stay while if you've seen "Rescue from Gilligan's Island." it's first presented in 2 halves of which if you see the first half first it's as my Sister Maureen said it's bad enough i saw the second half first of which is more tolerable than the first even though you know how it's going to go by their planning to launch the 2nd Minnow.this is exactly why they originally presented it in 2 halves because you just know how it's going to go.

I also liked The Halloween Episode for how a Bad Human and Cylon made it to earth at Halloween time and the outcome too.

As I also read this ends with among other things The return of Starbuck. Yes and I saw it too it's a flashback story being told to the 14 year old Wiseboy.
