I've been wanting to get into the Stooges for a while. I have been exploring other comic teams from before and around the same era of the Stooges and I am loving them even though some I did not care for much before due to TV colorized versions. I am aware of the current travesty of double dipping, number of shorts dropping and the color horror. Given these circumstances are the older DVDs of any quality and urgency of getting due to perhaps going out of prints for more new lesser versions? These are the 12 before this I believe:
- Three Stooges, The: All the World's a Stooge
- Three Stooges, The: Nutty but Nice
- Three Stooges, The: Stop, Look and Laugh
- Three Stooges, The: Cops and Robbers
- Three Stooges, The: Spook Louder
- Three Stooges, The: Curly Classics
- Three Stooges, The: Dizzy Doctors
- Three Stooges, The: GI Stooge
- Three Stooges, The: Healthy, Wealthy, and Dumb
- Three Stooges, The: Merry Mavericks
- Three Stooges, The: Outlaws Is Coming, The
- Three Stooges, The: Three Smart Saps
Are these worth getting or is there a chance of something better/worse coming? How about importing, if you know. This would be a regional question I guess but it is not the main focus of the topic and of similar nature. I have the U.K. Laurel & Hardy 21 disc boxset. Although they do have colorized vesions on the discs, they did put everything out without doubledipping, except for a few regional alternate versions and a significant edit made back in the day and the original version. If the Stooges get a similar treatment there I would be interested, here too, but it would have to be a comlete box for me to dare to get it with the color and at a cheapish but reasonable price.
Also, if you have any of them, could you give a quick review, or point out certain key shorts that are gems.
