The Three Stooges

The Three Stooges began in the "Ted Healy and his Southern Gentlemen" show and included Healy with the three 'Horwitz' brothers: young Moe Howard, his brother, Shemp Howard, and Larry Fine. In 1958, comic actor Joe DeRita, who looked remarkably like Curly, became known as "Curly Joe." Through the 1960s, television made The Three Stooges into stars. The Three Stooges' antics continue today in syndicated television programs.

Has anyone else ever heard Moe say cuss in The Three Stooges episode Brideless Groom?

This sounds like an urban legend to me. At the time that the Stooges were filmed there was no foul language, inuendo, ect. At that time in Hollywood they had a 'morals' comminttee that made sure everything was cleaned up long before it hit theaters.

The statement "At the time that the Stooges were filmed there was no foul language..." is really stupid! Of course there was foul language! In the "Brideless Groom" episode when Shemp drops the nickel in the phone booth and gets tangled up with Moe, you can VERY CLEARLY hear Moe say, "Get the F--- up off me here! You don't even have to listen that closely, he says it really loud and clearly.

What are the middle names of the three stooges?

Moe's full birth name is Moses Harry Horwitz. Curly is Jerome Lester Horwitz. Shemp was originally Samuel Horwitz (middle name unknown) - the name "Shemp" came about because that was what it sounded like when his mother said "Sam" in her heavy accent. Larry is Louis Fienberg (again, middle name unknown). I don't know Joe Besser's middle name. Joe DeRita, or Curly-Joe, was born Joseph Wardell, but took DeRita for his stage name - it was his mother's maiden name. When he joined the Stooges in their later years, he was then called Curly-Joe, due to the physical resemblance between him and Curly, and to avoid confusion with Joe Besser.

What are the name of all the episodes of the Three Stooges?

Well, I don't know that we have enough space for me to really go into detail but one of my favorites is In the Sweet Pie and Pie. Three sisters need to get married within 48 hours to get a $10 million inheritance. Their lawyer comes up with a plan ... they will marry three convicts who will be hanged the next day. They will get their inheritance and not have to be married. Of course, the three convicts are the Stooges who are to be hanged for a murder they did not commit. They are married in a jail cell but when it comes to the hanging, the ropes break when the trap doors are opened. While the Stooges are on the ground 'recovering' from the fall, the warden is handed a telegram which states the Stooges have been pardoned due to the confession of someone else. The Stooges are set free and they find the house of the sisters, their wives, which doesn't sit well with the girls. After the girls make them take dancing lessions and baths 10 times a day, the Stooges are still very much 'happily' married. The sisters consult with their lawyer again and he instructs them to throw a lavish party where the Stooges are sure to embarass them. He says divorce will then be a cinch. The party turns into a classic pie throwing event. (One guest is talking to one of the sisters. He says "I usually get bored at parties but I know I'm gonna get a bang out of this one.". WHAM! A pie straight in the chops. One of the guests is talking about his hunting trip. He says "I raised my rifle and FIRED!". WHAM!) But the sisters, instead of getting upset at the Stooges, get upset with the lawyer and the episode ends with them and the Stooges nailing the lawyer with pies. Obviously, their 'most popular' episodes is very subjective but I would also include An Ache in Every Stake, From Nurse to Worse, Busy Buddies, and False Alarms, along with In the Sweet Pie and Pie as five of their best ever.
