Our local Channel Six started broadcasting The Three Stooges shorts in 1959 or 1960. At first they were on Saturday mornings.

Later on they were on daily at 4 or 4:30 p.m. hosted by an execrable comic named "Harlow Hickenlooper".

I also enjoyed the pie fights....especially one where in the middle of the chaos a man in a tuxedo said: "Somebody give me a pie."  AND slam - right in the face!

[Rodzinski]

Stooges were still popular when I was a kid. Stooges and Little Rascals were on TV every day after school. Just my own hang-up as a kid:I didn’t like Moe and how mean and violent he seemed. Loved Curly and Larry. Shemp episodes were not appreciated.

[ChasSmith]

I've never seen anything close to the complete run of The Three Stooges, but I always enjoyed them. As a kid, I saw them on TV (along with Laurel and Hardy, Little Rascals, etc.) and as extra features at kids' matinees at movie theeders. I have that box set of DVDs from a decade or so ago that I should go through more thoroughly.

Yesterday I was playing through the songs for this recital thing coming up, and - voila! - I think I've stumbled onto the BLACK HOLE of open fourths and fifths and minor second dissonances and suspensions and whatever else you care to throw into the soup of "today's" music.

It's certainly not the first appearance of the phenomenon, but I believe the BLACK HOLE of Dear Evan Hansen sucked all of that energy in from past, presence and future, and there's a dense concentration of it right there that you wouldn't believe.

But as a stage musical, do you like Dear Evan Hansen ?

I think, like BK, I first saw the Three Stooges at a kiddie matinee on Saturdays at the Paramount Theater. When they went to television, they and the Little Rascals were two of my and my brother Macbeth's favorite programs.

[Rodzinski]

I know you didn’t ask me, but I prefer the horror sequel, Fear Evan Hanson.

There are gay references and a few obscenities, so i've asked the publisher to change the ages to "16 and Up." I do not need any "Christian" do-gooders raising hell about this book.

Who wouldn't?

[Freddie]

I know you didn’t ask me, but I prefer the horror sequel, Fear Evan Hanson.

Or the special adult interest version, Dear Evan Handsome.

[Freddie]

Fear Evan Hansen... What is he waving through that window?

[Freddie]

The song "You Will be Found" would take on a whole new meaning for the horror version.

Sad, but yeah, I get it.

I got an email telling me "Time to Order Your Rosh Hashanah Cards"

The year is speeding by.

I've never seen it. I only suffer, like a Christian martyr, through the songs I must play for people.

I did not care for the Three Stooges.  I'm sure they were nice people.  I went all through school with Moe's grandson.

Like DR RODZINSKI Larry and Curly were my favorites.

Joe Besser was a big zero for me because of the obnoxious kid he played on the Abbott & Costello tv show....Joe DeRita was okay in the movies.

I started being very critical at a young age LOL.

The Little Rascals were always fun.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

elmore, I had the same age issue on the very first Adriana Hofstetter book. I hadn't, at the time, thought it would be for young adult readers, and that book certainly isn't due to murderer and the reason for it and the murderer's monologue of why they did it. Soon thereafter, when I realized that young people really liked the character, I regretted not the plot or the murder, but the monologue, which is fairly explicit. After that, I made the age range 12 and up and was careful with all the other books in that series.

Oh, and elmore, got the We Transfer.

Just saw this loverly review of Vegas Can Be Murder from Robert Yacko - he really loved this one. He's getting ready to do an audio book on Preview Harvey and if that one comes out well, maybe we'll do the Harry Stearns trio but only IF I find a Bernice to do that part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Showgirls, Lounge Acts & Murder on the Menu
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2025
Harry Stearns, retired Hollywood agent turned retired private detective, begrudgingly returns for another case. It’s the mid-70’s and Vegas is calling, against his better judgement. Even worse, it’s the Vegas of lounge singers and decade old jokes, though the posh parts of Sin City are ever-present.

Of course, when Harry is here, so is Dr. Pepper, Black Jack gum, lots of yummy meals (especially at the Hamlet), and wonderful music, from Mozart to Sondheim to Liberace to “I Talk to the Trees”. He’s a man who loves his Bernaise and tolerates his Bernice – the latter, of course, being his sassy secretary, as set in her ways as Harry is. Along with the ins and outs of solving the looming mystery, it’s the crackle of the Harry and Bernice relationship banter that is the engine that drives this intriguing train. I’d call it older Tracy & Hepburn meets Fred and Ethel Mertz, and when Bernice is there for the ride-along, it is even more charming.

I found the story addictive, a page-turner from the get-go, and as much fun to try and solve as it was to take the ride with Harry and company. So put the top down and take a drive to the desert with this curmudgeonly master-sleuth, and don’t worry about your hair. It’ll be another unique, wonderful adventure, and maybe you’ll solve this before someone gets the… (no spoilers here). Riveting and delicious!

Too bad Selma Diamond has shuffled off the mortal coil.

That's the voice I always hear when I read Bernice.

[bk]

Love Selma. I modeled Bernice on the one and only Eve Arden, but Selma would have been great.
