Volume Three: 1940-1942 slated for August 26

Classic Flix is reporting that Sony is soliciting an August 26th release date for Volume Three.

This set from Sony will continue the chronological format with great shorts like You Nazty Spy!, A Plumbing We Will Go, An Ache in Every Stake, Some More of Somoa, Matri-Phony and Three Smart Saps to name a few.

This release may be a good sign of things to come with seven months between volumes 1 (Oct 2007) and 2 (May 2008), and only three months between this release and volume 2.

The shorts included should be:

1940
You Nazty Spy!
Rockin' Thru the Rockies
A Plumbing We Will Go
Nutty But Nice
How High is Up?
From Nurse to Worse
No Census, No Feeling
Cookoo Cavaliers
Boobs in Arms

1941
So Long Mr. Chumps
Dutiful But Dumb
All the World's a Stooge
I'll Never Heil Again
An Ache in Every Stake
In the Sweet Pie and Pie
Some More of Samoa

1942
Loco Boy Makes Good
Cactus Makes Perfect
What's the Matador?
Matri-Phony
Three Smart Saps
Even as IOU
Sock-a-Bye Baby

It's a good sign that the window between these releases is decreasing...

A Plumbing We Will Go.....YES! My favorite Stooge short. I never cared for the remake with Shemp.

"Waiter, may I have some water?"
"Lady, you want water? Just turn on anything!"

I just picked up Volume 1 & 2. I'm blown away with the remastering.

Volume 3 is just around the corner.


Oh.. and bring on the Shemp years.

Volume 5 should be it. If it follows the same three-year cycle as the others, 1946-1948, then it should be a mix of Curly's and Shemp's.

A abit of confirmation.

From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment...

Nutty Numbskulls Larry, Moe and Curly Are Back in the Latest Volume of Classic Comedy Antics THE THREE STOOGES COLLECTION Volume Four: 1943 - 1945
21 Digitally-Restored Shorts, Arranged Chronologically, and Packaged in a Two-Disc DVD

CULVER CITY, CALIF. (July 28, 2008) The Three Stooges will be caught in their brand new set of crazy shorts on October 7. The classic comedy trio returns with more eye-gouging, nose-tweaking fun in The Three Stooges Collection Volume Four: 1943 - 1945 debuting on DVD October 7 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

After their initial retirement, they were rediscovered by an enthusiastic new generation through the medium of television and have surpassed all their contemporaries in terms of lasting popularity.

I don't understand why no ads in the Sunday papers or movie magazines.

Because they're not the popular choice to buy anymore. They do the same thing with cd's. Advertisers think people will only buy what's new and " hip" so they rarely advertise anything that is not "hip" or happening now. They cater to a small age group and the rest have to fend for themselves.

Has a release date been announced for Volume 5?

Based on the previous releases I was hoping we would see Volume 5 released in January.

I managed to pick up Volumes 3 & 4 at Christmas. Excellent quality.
The best thing that I like about these is if you're a busy person
you don't have to spend a lot of time watching these shorts.
You can watch a few and not lose a lot of time from your day.

This will be the last one I buy. I never cared for Shemp or the later Curly Joe.
