Subject: Favorite Stooges shorts with Joe Besser (1957-59)

Might as well, albeit he wasn't really into the act, but at least they ended it on a high note with "Sappy Bullfighters".

Joe Besser's style was not the best match for the Stooges chaotic physical comedy, but he seemed to give it his best effort, and his character was likable.

Guns-A-Poppin (a remake of Idiots Deluxe) and Pies and Guys (remaking Half-Wits Holiday) would be among my favorites.

Outer Space Jitters is always a fun one, with a pre-Ponderosa Dan (billed as Don) Blocker, and the ever reliable Emil Sitka.

And yes, Sappy Bullfighers of course, the final Stooges short.

After Shemp's passing Moe wanted to continue on as The Two Stooges, but Harry Cohn and Columbia quickly vetoed that idea.

The Joe Besser shorts are not the Stooges finest hour, but they can still be fun to watch, especially in comparison to the bulk of the comedy material produced today.
