Shemp Steals The Show!
I've been a Stooges fan for many years, and up until recently, much like everyone else, I took the wonderful talents of Shemp Howard for granted. However, now whenever I watch a Stooges video or DVD, I find myself laughing non-stop at Shemp's lame jokes, funny faces, and hilarious cackle. This DVD is chock full of Shemp, but for you Curly-lovers, there's plenty of "nyuk nyuk nyuks" to go around, as well.

Dizzy Doctors (Curly): A great short where the boys try to sell "Brighto." Brighto, Brighto, makes old bodies new. We'll sell a million bottles, woo woo woo woo woo woo.

Bubble Trouble (Shemp): Not one of Shemp's best, as it is a remake. There's a few great scenes, including Shemp trying his hand at indoor fishing and the Stooges mixing chemicals in, what else, a boot!

Brideless Groom (Shemp): A classic! One of the best Stooges shorts, whether you're a Curly or Shemp fan! Too many great scenes to describe. Must see!

Termites of 1938 (Curly): Another great episode. The Stooges, as exterminators, are somehow mistaken for male escorts. An awesome scene ensues, where the guests at an upper class party rely on the Stooges to help them with their table manners!

Listen Judge (Shemp): A partial remake of "An Ache In Every Stake," which featured Curly. This one is great as well, especially for a remake. Great scene where Moe talks back to a French chef (played by the great Emil Sitka).

The Tooth Will Out (Shemp): One of the best Stooges Westerns. Even if you don't like the Western spoofs the Stooges made, you'll love this one, as dentistry is the main focus, not gunfights and damsels in distress. Shemp does his classic blind act while trying to pull teeth, and the Stooges mix up "The Amatuer Carpenter" with their dentistry manual. You can probably guess what happens from there.

I hope this review has been helpful, but I know if you're a Stoogs fan you probably ordered this DVD before even reading the reviews! "We're not ordinary people. We're morons!"

Columbia still choosing unusual shorts for DVD releases
The good news with "Dizzy Doctors," Columbia's sixth release of stooge classics, is that every short is meticulously restored. Columbia was slacking on some releases, choosing inferior prints of some shorts for the video and DVD releases ("Monkey Businessmen" and "Three Smart Saps" were disgraceful). All six shorts on this DVD are crisp and sharp. The bad news is that Columbia is releasing Shemp shorts in great abundance, they are already releasing remade shorts, which are usually inferior to the originals. Case in point here is "Bubble Trouble," a remake of "All Gummed Up." If Columbia has any inkling of what Stooges fans want, they would stick to the original shorts for distribution, and return to the remakes at a later date. Columbia has also made the mistake of DVDing three Curly shorts that were filmed after his initial stroke (Why release "Uncivil Warbirds" instead of "Uncivil Warriors"?) In any event, this DVD is worth getting, since the quality is picture perfect.

You Can't Go Wrong Here!
Besides "Curly Classics", this one ranks as my second favorite Three Stooges DVD; the excellent shorts "Termites Of 1938" and "Dizzy Doctors" are worth the price of this disc! I know some people have wondered why Columbia included "Brideless Groom" here, owing to the fact that it's an often-used public domain film. Well, for the Stooges "completist", it would be wrong if it weren't included at some point. I will say that the quality of the film on this disc is markedly better than some of the really grainy, bad quality prints used in some of the cheaper priced Stooges discs!

A great DVD overall, but some suggestions to Columbia: I think we all could do without the annoying "pinball machine" intro, and the VERY annoying "slot machine" intro on the newer DVD's! Also, start making the discs so the shorts can be played continuously instead of stopping after each one!
