This year definitely has its hits but definitely a tulmultuous time for the act as well. Curly had passed this year, studio had to make cuts which let go of long time producer Hugh McCollum and director Edward Bernds following suit out of loyalty to McCollum and Shemp going through a minor stroke which you can see affect his performance in some of the later shorts.
Excellent observation - I noticed Shemp's health started going "south" with "Spooks" (1953) and it just got worse from there. I am in the minority when it comes to the Shemp remakes/re-workings because I like all of them (except "Hot Ice" and the three "Fake Shemp" shorts - I do love the "Fake Shemp" short "Hot Stuff" better than "Fuelin' Around" because Larry is so hilarious in the "new" footage).
Yeah, and the short "He Cooked His Goose" was filmed on January 7-9, 1952 just a little over week before Curly died. I read that on January 7, Moe was contacted on the set to help move Curly to the Baldy View Sanitarium in San Gabriel for what would be the last time, then he died 11 days later.
I remember when I was a kid my dad got me hooked on this show, every time when the show came on he had me record it for him using VCRs at that time so he can come home later and watch it with me ..Been a fan ever since...it's 2am here and right before bed getting my fix. 51 yo now 🎉
Like grilled cheese or a warm blanket . . . total comfort watching! I also listen while I'm working (which can be difficult b/c so much of their comedy was visual). The Stooges are my go-to, always.
1952 was a great year for the stooge shorts and the final year of all-originals, before the Jules White "stock footage" decline. Three Dark Horses gets my vote for best short--love that "bird inside the turkey" gag... 😂😂

My favorite stooge shorts for 1952 are "Gents In a Jam" followed by "Corny Casanovas" and then "3 Dark Horses" which has the stooges supporting a "Bernie Sanders" style candidate advocating for a "Two Hour" work week! Hilarious! Shemp is really excited about that two hour work week until Moe sets him straight- "Don't be a chump ya chump, you can't believe all that stuff, that's a campaign promise". Truth! The stooges were ahead of their time! Also in "3 Dark Horses" Moe breaks the record of how many times he says "Get outta here!" (six times) and "Come on" (six times). In "Gents in a Jam" Uncle Phineas is worth 6 million bucks which would be worth nearly 70 million in 2024!
Love this line (from Larry) in '3 Dark Horses'...Moe: How much did Stewers manager give you to vote for him? Larry: "Fifteen hundred bucks..." Moe: "We can buy a boat and go fishing...you got worms?" Larry: "Yeah but I'm going anyway..." LOL...they always used that inside joke about tapeworms...

It's a damn shame Emil Sitka didn't have the chance to become the "7th" stooge. He would have terrific. Best supporting character next to Bud Jameson, Vernon Dent and Christine McIntyre amongst others as well.
This episode, while a GREAT one, was a re-make of an earlier episode with Curley. [At the moment, I cannot recall the title of the original Curley episode.] NOTE: There were some script alterations!
You know the short "A missed Fortune" kinda ends on a cliffhanger because we didn't see them escape the hotel and the manager said he was going to get the police so we'll just assume they got away. Lol

Emil Sitka did his own stunts in "Gents in a Jam" and is super hilarious (Emil is super hilarious in this short) - I love when his knee gives out for a moment with that "cracking" sound effect. And that "foot to the face" ending is awesome! My favorite Emil stooge short and the one where he has the most screen time (with "Brideless Groom" a close second and "For Crimin' Out Loud" third).
My 3 best favorite episodes of 3 stooges are Goof On The Roof, Three Dark Horses and Loose Loot because a couple of scenes had me died laughing and I love watching every minute of them 😅😂😂😂
This whole year was full of great scenes, but I think one of the most underrated ones is this one from “Three Dark Horses”, which wasn’t even scripted: 1:30:05 Shemp: “I got a hot eye! I’ve heard of hot feet, but never a hot eye!”
I found personally (for me), the act was starting to get quite “long in the tooth” post 1951. You could see the guys really just “going through the motions” a lot of the time. Shorts were now slowly coming to an end, the studio wasn’t caring very much and sadly…it began showing in production. But I always grew up loving them regardless
My mom make me 🧑 👩 🧓 Made them pancakes & 🥞🥞 Scrambled Eggs with cheese 🫕 🧀 & Bacon 🥓 with 2 types & Banana 🍌 with with light sugar & Orange 🍊 Juice 🥤 🧃 🥚 🍳 🪺 Yesterday & Today As Leftovers Both Days Very Good while I did the yard work yesterday cut the lawn & I huge tree limb fell on our drive way & our neighbors help him cut it with his axe 🪓 🎸 them hulled it away for me 😁👍🤩🤩
Before Michael Jackson and Before James Brown., there was SHEMP with his fascinating & AMAZING Footwork.. He established the Back & Moon Walk. SHEMP was the most entertaining 😁👍🏻
In ‘Three Dark Horses’ when Moe finds out that Larry got $1500 for supporting Lamb Stewer: Moe: “We can buy a yacht and go fishing…you got worms?” Larry: “Yeah but I’m goin anyway…” They always had jokes about having worms like when Curly would order ‘burnt toast and a rotten egg’ for breakfast because “he had a tape worm and that’s good enough for it…”
The Stooges (w/Shemp) could do LIGHT comedy (no slapstick) with the best of them, when the script gave them the chance. Watch 1:11:24 to 1:13:24, the best "legit" 2 minutes in their film output. Of course, the direction of Edward Berns had a lot to do with it; the Stooges were far more "human"/real under him...especially in a DIALOGUE scene like this, filmed in medium close-up. And L-O-N-G takes too, probably with only one day to learn the scene. Truly talented guys! [Mrs. MacGruder is played by Kathryn Kitty McHugh, who..believe it or not...was the blonde giggly woman with the round glasses that Curly sits {and shaves} with in "Hoi Polloi" ("cut yourself a slice of throat"). Amazing knock-out punch when she floors big Mickey Simpson (in this film), after the way-too-violent beating he gives Shemp (mostly his stunt double, Johnny Kascier). Kitty McHugh's real-life brother Matt played "Claude" in "Pardon My Clutch/Wham,Bam,Slam". This film (Gents in a Jam) was Ed Bernds' last short for Columbia and Jules White; their loss.
Moe: What are you screaming about?! Go on, carve the turkey! Larry: I can’t! This thing isn’t cooked! Moe: How do you know?! Larry: I jabbed it with a fork, and it hollered Help! Moe: Stand aside, lamebrain! I’ll carve it! 1:33:56 Moe: NYAAAH-AAAAH! It’s haunted! 😨
In three stooges listen judge... Shemp Howard: Thirty-eight pounds, how many people out there? Larry Fine: Oh, about SIXTEEN. Moe Howard: I'm gonna put off murdering u till u collect your paycheck. How's that cake? Shemp Howard: Wonderful. If we didn't hold it down, it would float away. Moe Howard: If I want a smart crack, I'll make one myself. Put the candles in & get it out there. Come on, get busy. Shemp Howard & Larry Fine: Alright, alright. Moe Howard: Here. Shemp Howard Larry Fine & Moe Howard walk to the people with a cake. Best wishes, this is Michael Meneses.
At 33:38 minutes in, when I saw this scene couple days ago for the 1st time I noticed right away what Larry was wearing; like him wearing a maids/handmaiden’s cap?!? I’ve never ever seen a boy ever wear one before globally; it’s just makes me giggle and smile ever time I see him wearing it!! Maybe every boy should start wearing these when he’s house cleaning or cleaning anything!! If some girls/ladies wear these sometimes then boys can too!!
This year definitely has its hits but definitely a tulmultuous time for the act as well.

This is the year Curly passed away. I wish he took better care of himself. Guy was infinitely talented
Thanks for the knowledge.
A poor remake of Curly's original.
Yeah, and the short "He Cooked His Goose" was filmed on January 7-9, 1952 just a little over week before Curly died. I read that on January 7, Moe was contacted on the set to help move Curly to the Baldy View Sanitarium in San Gabriel for what would be the last time, then he died 11 days later.
I loved the Saturday morning Stooges, especially when I was a real kid in 1962! Now I'm just a 68 year old kid in 2024!😃
Once a fan always a fan.
Oh a youngster.

Me too
all of them are at rest now, many got hurt giving us laughs, rip, thank you.
Shemp is the best. Luv it!
I can’t imagine what it was like for them to film these episodes while grieving the loss of Curly
Love it... Love it ❤ Long live the Three Stooges 😂
Like grilled cheese or a warm blanket . . . total comfort watching! I also listen while I'm working (which can be difficult b/c so much of their comedy was visual). The Stooges are my go-to, always.
Great classic ❤still watching 3 stooges 40 years later since I was a kid especially before bed thanks ❤

I'm less disturbed at Moe accidentally putting glue on his hotcakes than I am at Larry purposely putting ketchup on his. 🤢
Hot cakes means pancakes, right?
@@aspenrebel As far as I know.
@@aspenrebel No, Flapjacks.
@@aspenrebel Not sure, but I think they are the same thing at least according to Wikipedia. The article didn't mention putting ketchup on them though!
In the 1955 short Wham Bam Slam, Moe puts salt 🧂 on his pancakes.

These comedy greats made my young life so exciting. still watch them today ,60 yrs later.
A Curly remake. Shemp had his moments.

Emil is possibly my favorite character. He is so animated. Awesome talents for these episodes all of them.
Emil Sitka was a great talent. He could play all kinds of characters.

Legendary!
Some real hits this year
He cooked his goose was tender because this was the last time Mo would transport curly to what would be his last facility before his passing
Shemp was the best....just brilliant.
My favorite scene is when Larry and Moe was fighting slow motion
Shemp doing the fancy footwork (moonwalk?) at 47:05 is hilarious.
