A must for people of this era but be warned that the sound and film quality is lousy and the plotlines are not great if others want to check it out.

"This DVD is great. The quality is very good. "Disorder In The Court" could have been a little better. It's better than those public domain copies, but it's still not at it's best. AMC's copy of this short is a little better. But, the print here is still very good. The picture overall is very sharp and detailed. And one thing great about this DVD is that it's "Remastered in High Definition". The picture is really good. It's great to see the Stooges in High Definition."
A great DVD...

"These shorts contained in this collection are pretty funny. But, the materials used to transfer these on DVD are not at their best. Why can't Columbia use the original 35mm film masters like what they did to the VHS copies. I know, Columbia is just plain lazy. All the shorts on this DVD are very grainy and are not too sharp. There is one good news about this DVD. There are NO edited scenes. Remember what happened to `Three Little Beers'. All shorts are complete and unedited in this collection. I also see that Columbia is releasing their 3 stooges DVD by theme. But let me say just one thing. The two shorts, `Calling All Curs' and `Flat Foot Stooges', have nothing to do with the title "Cops and Robbers". In `Flat Foot Stooges', the stooges are firemen and in `Calling All Curs', the stooges are animal doctors. Perhaps, the people working at Columbia don't know anything about the 3 stooges. The next 3 stooges DVD is "G.I. Stooge". It comes out on October 8, 2002. Check out my review for it to see more downfalls and mistakes Columbia did to that collection."
A great DVD, just bought it.

"I will have to agree with you all about how far in between Columbia is releasing this series on DVD. But I do not agree with how they are doing it. I have all the DVD's so far and I absolutely love them. There are some I enjoy more then others. My favorite DVD in this series so far is Three Smart Saps, but this DVD contains an awesome collection of famous stooge shorts as well. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the stooges. And besides the fact they are releasing them so far apart, I think they are doing an excellent job, and I can't wait for the GI Stooge and more to come. Just get them out a little quicker Columbia! Thanks.."
