Re-issue of the inferior color intros to the 1965 cartoons.

"This is FAR from their greatest, it is their 1965 re-performance of their classic routines. Moe & Larry are much older and Curly has been replaced by Curly-Joe, their comedy pacing is off and slow. Also why buy these 16mm prints when you can get the original uncut versions on the cartoon releases?
The Three Stooges - Cartoon Classics, Vol. 1
The Three Stooges: Cartoon Classics, Vol. 2
Watching this will only make you yearn for the original classic performances of the 1930's & 1940's."
The Three Stooges, Plus Two

"Here's a collection worth owning: a presentation of the Stooges' greatest skits as hosted by the goofballs from Mystery Science Theater 3000. And, a special treat to fans of the Stooges, they're in full, glorious color for the first time!
If you're reading this review already, I probably don't need to sell you on the colorization aspect. Look at all of the entertainment you enjoy today--it's all in color. Da Vinci, Ruebens & Van Gogh--all in color. In fact, pretty much the only reason that these older movies and short subjects are black and white is because of technological limitation. Now that we can remove that barrier, why not experiment with it? Especially when the end result looks so good? Plus, nowhere else will you find such a concentration of Stooge material on a single disc: those days of fumbling through unwound, low-quality VHS tapes are done for good. And, as a fan of Mystery Science Theater, you simply can't beat intermission antics of the Satellite of Love crew--much funnier than the typical DVD menu.
It's so great to see someone giving the Stooges their due love in this day and age, and the time, energy and money put in to producing these new DVDs the right way really shows."
This is not a colorized one

"just wanted to give a heads up on this one,it's basically just the "New Three Stooges" shorts from the 60's and were already in color,it's not bad,it's basically the same thing that was released by "Goodtimes" only a little bit clearer picture,the only addition is the dude from mystery science theater introducing it,the bonus feature is just 3 "three stooges cartoons",so if you own the original goodtime dvd it's just an upgrade,I suggest buying the box set...."
