ThreeStooges.net poster 'Waldo Twitchell' found this site reporting "The Three Stooges Collection Vol. 3: 1940 - 1942" for release on August 26, 2008...
allmovie ((( Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 3: 1940-1942 [2 Discs] > Overview )))

VideoETA.com, a usually reliable source, confirms the information...
Three Stooges Collection: 1940-1942 (2008)

Welcome news, but at this point, it should be considered preliminary and tentative.

Re: Three Stooges Vol. 3 1940-1942

This is phenomonal news if it is true. I have no doubt that we will continue to see these releases.

The only thing that smells somewhat fishy is that it's only 3 months apart when the first 2 releases were 6 months apart. I would love if they continued a 3 month cycle though.

I absolutely know what you mean buddy but apparently the time frame for these collections were to be every 2-3 months to begin with... Fingers crossed...

I truly think this will be the real release date, because the eta site even has the running time right for volume 3, which will be 23 shorts.They were right in predicting volume 2 release date , so why should I doubt them now ???

That is true about the running time, i hope it is August 26th.. I hope it is for my love of the stooges and the fact that volume 1 came out one week before my brothers birthday and volume 2 came out one week after my brothers name day so those were his presents (coincidence, he probably rang sony ), so being that his birthday is in november it'll give my pocket a much needed break..

Crossing my fingers.

This would be smart on Sony's part too, and to capitalize on the PR and momentum they seem to be getting from these sets.

Classic Flix has gotten in amongst it, they say its been announced like they did with volume 2 before it was announced.. I'm believing this more and more..

Great news!!! The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 3 has been announced with an August 26th release date. 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. It will retail for $24.96, but is available at Classicflix.com for only $19.99.

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

This is fantastic, because this is the era when I think Curly was at his funniest.

Of course, as we all know, the Shemp/Joe era will be a completely different situation .....................

Re: Three Stooges Vol. 3 1940-1942

I love the Curly episodes, like very much the Shemp episodes, and appreciate the Joe episodes (esp. since Joe didn't want to do them at first). I'm very pleased that Shemp was eventually convinced to join the team as well. Because this is The Three Stooges we're talking about, I will want to own all of the shorts. It's one of those few genres for which I need to be a completist.

Any way we can skip the tired Curlys and get right to Shemp and Joe? No? Oh well --- I'll wait.... but I hope Sony doesn't go to sleep at that point.

Re: Three Stooges Vol. 3 1940-1942

You know i remember that before volume 2 was anounced their were heaps of people on the net, myself included, that were so nervous if Sony had just stopped the series at one volume as it was about 4 to 4 and a half months after volume 1 had been released at that stage and now it looks as though we're going to get two volumes in the space of 3 months..

August 26th is going to be an expensive day for me as i've got this set to buy, One Tree Hill season 5 (which is about $39 on Amazon.com) and Married With Children season 9 (even though it comes out on the 19th i can wait a week or i might just buy it on the 19th and watch the episodes before the Stooges arrive, decisions decisions, lol)..

Great News!
Isn't "Rockin' Thru the Rockies" the only double length short at about 36 or 37 minutes that was later re-released in a shorter version. If this is the one I remember reading about in a stooges book I hope we get the uncut version.

If the distance between volume 3 to 4 is the same as volume 2 to 3 then we'll get volume 4 by the end of the year.

I'm not 100% on this, but I think you may be mixing up the standard short ROCKIN THRU THE ROCKIES with the feature film ROCKIN IN THE ROCKIES, which was released in 1945 and ran about 1 hour. I think they're two separate things.

Re: Three Stooges Vol. 3 1940-1942

I think Joe is right, that confusion is mentioned on the wiki for the short:

Rockin' Thru the Rockies

If Sony can keep this schedule up that would be great, here's hoping eh? BTW, anyone think they should/could include "Jerks of All Trades" when the time arrives? I know it's TV and not a short but still it is pretty funny.

Your're right Joe I checked my Stooges book last night and it is Rockin in the Rockies (65 minutes)that I was thinking of and it was actually a short feature similar to Gold Raiders with Shemp. Columbia has oddly never released this only feature film of Curly's. I wonder if there a problems finding a decent print. Anyone here every see Rockin in the Rockies (1945). It appears to be a musical so I imagine the Stooges are only in half of it.

ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES (1945) was shown on TCM a couple months ago. For a few years prior to that, it was in rotation on the Encore/Starz group, turning up several times each on the Westerns, Family, Comedy and RetroPlex channels. It first showed up on cable in the early 1990s, on The Movie Channel.

The Stooges are onscreen for approx. 3/4 of the film.

I'd prefer they finish the "Collection" series with shorts first. But "Jerks" & any other bonus materials are welcome as long as they don't interfere with the excellent chronological series Sony is producing.

It would nice if after they finish with the "Joe" films, that "Collection" then moves on to a single set of all 6 "Curly Joe" features (which aren't great, but it would be nice to have all 6 on one set).

By the way, every Stooge fan should check out the excellent "Three Stooges - Triple Whammy" 3-disc boxed set from Legend. Sure, it has colorized & PD material, but WOW it is some rare stuff.

Legend did an excellent job, and it is bargain priced at around $15. Essentially a boxed set of "bonus material" which Sony apparently does not care about including.

Agreed. Let's get those shorts completed first. BTW, I realize this is purely aesthetic on my part, but I hope that the subsequent volumes that are released all have different colors (i.e., magenta, blue, etc.) for the boxes.

I agree with this as well. I think it would be really great to own all of them. Heck, I might even spring for the films after the shorts are completed.

??? Unless I am misunderstanding something, they are taking pre-orders. (on that site at least, but I've never heard of them until now).
