Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

I know I'm in the minority, but I like the Besser shorts. I hope the releases go that far.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

That's the one quibble I have with the releases, except for volume one, that stupid sony television logo comes up between shorts.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Amazon has Sets 1 thru 4 for $13.99 each, free shipping over $25 and no tax in CA (and other states). I just purchased sets 2-4. Don't know how long this will last.

Tower has Sets 1 - 4 for $11.99 and Volume 5 for a pre-order of $13.99. Free shipping over $25.

You had to one up me, huh? :mad:

Chris :D

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

I phoned DD to pricematch tower, and they charged me $13.69 for Volume 5.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

It would be cool if they included that God-awful cartoon show they did with the live action intercuts as an extra on the last set in the series.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

That won't happen. They're all in the public domain anyway, I'm sure some company will release a complete set eventually. One show they can pass on is The Robotic Stooges. That was terrible.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

They were actually the Robonic Stooges. And yes, it was terrible.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

By the way, this is interesting...

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Interesting is NOT the word I would use -ohbfrank-

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Whatever. I haven't seen it since the 90s on Boomerang. It was awful.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

June 16th for volume 6?

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

That would be fantastic. Just like the short time-span between Volumes 3 & 4.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Would this volume include Joe?

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

No.

Depending on how they continue, Joe Besser shouldn't show up until Vol. 8 if they continue on the same three-year cycle.

But that would leave just one more year of Columbia shorts, so they may start tinkering with the number of shorts on Vols. 7, 8 and presumably 9.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

I'm really curious what the comparative numbers will be for a non-Curly volume...

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

I'll continue to buy these Stooges sets through the end of Shemp's tenure. If the release date on Volume 6 is accurate, that would be great news. :up:

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

How many volumes are projected to be released in total?

I really wish there were some extras on these sets, but the video/sound quality has been excellent. Maybe we will get some extras as we get into the Joe era, to encourage people to buy all of the sets.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Nice! I love these sets. I just bought volume 5..... even though Ive only seen up to V2! Props to Sony keeping the sets looking similiar and just changing the colors

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

Has there been any word on a release date for Volume 7? I would think we would have heard something by now! Sony has been really consistant on the the release schedule for these sets.

Re: Sony to begin Stooge DVD sets
 

On August 18th, Movies Unlimited showed a pre-order listing for The Three Stooges Collection Vol. 7 1952-1954 as November 10, 2009. Unfortunately, the listing has since been taken down.
