Thanks for posting this. It's great! Isn't it hard to believe that with all of the Vaudevillians who dominated the early years of TV - that the Stooges' pilot wasn't a hit, and that they weren't picked up for at least a season?! Also, has anyone heard of their having done radio appearances? The in-house sound-effects guy would have loved it! BTW-i got Moe's autobio when it came out as a Xmas present (along with the Our Gang book) in '77 or '78. It's great. Lots of pic's.

I've never seen this before, and I've never seen Larry Fine's comic talent put to such good use in any other Stooge footage I've seen.

No kidding. I was just repeating Lawrence's use of the word "taped"......Now,"WAKE UP AND GO TO SLEEP!!!"

Dear LFD, Moe wrote most of his memoir..Originally titled"I Stooge To Conquer"..but he died..before he could complete the book. His daughter Joan and her husband Mr.Norman Maurer finished the book titled"Moe Howard & The Three Stooges".

It was FILMED, not taped! Videotape didn't come until 1956.

Some say it was a cerebral hemmorage.

I doubt you would consider this "rare", since Moe, Larry and Shemp had previously appeared on "Texaco Star Theater" (three times), "Colgate Comedy Hour", "The Ed Wynn Show", "The Kate Smith Show", and of course, the aborted pilot they did for A.B.C..
