6/10
The "Lost" Original Episode
12 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I know this was never "lost" but it was never shown on TV when I was growing up watching the Stooges in the 1970's and 80's. I just watched this today for the first time and usually that would count as an automatic 10 rating since I love the Stooges so much and it would be new material. Alas, this one is on the dry side, very dry. The wrestling scene is funny though and put into modern context kind of embarrassing as it has serious overtones. That and the execution scene were the only scenes I found memorable, the rest was all filler. I'm giving it a 6 and that includes a boost for having just watched it for the first time so in replays it would be more like 5. I guess thats why it was never shown on TV when I was growing up? Weird, that not all the shorts were shown with the same frequency, it's got nothing in it that would seem risqué for kids that I can tell, just a typical Stooges short. Probably the least memorable of the earliest Stooge shorts pre 1937.
