I bought this for my boyfriend last Christmas and we binge watched The Stooges all day Christmas Day
That's such an awesome set!! My dad and I used to watch the three stooges every weekend moring and such. Fun memories when I was a kid. Makes me miss him and smile at the same time. That's something I'd buy one day for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I have the complete collection still thinking about getting the ultimate collection I watched the boys growing up love them and their shorts
I bought them individually years ago when they first came out. It’s an awesome collection!
It's so satisfying to get a collection that isn't just the same 4 or 5 public domain shorts
These are great 👍 I am 35 and a lifelong Stooge fan . When I found out back in I think 2008 that they were releasing the shorts all on dvd it was like Christmas came early! I bought them all as they came out but now I have this box set . One of the favorites in my collection! Can’t beat Curly Larry and Moe ! (And Shemp)
That set is actually missing the first four shorts they did witch were for Warner Bro’s. You can only get those shorts from a Warner archive release titled “Classic Shorts From The Dream Factory Volume 3” usually at a good price on amazon, that’s where I got mine
Thanks for this. On it.
It was actually five shorts, and it was for MGM.
4 Feature films with curly joe that you can buy from mill creek in a 2 vol set on Blu-ray Although it’s missing one movie the Three Stooges in orbit, which you can get separate on Amazon. Also on DVD you can get from 20th Century Fox Snow White and the Three Stooges along with there very first film staring shemp as third stooge not curly soup to nuts 1930 . There mgm shorts can be found on Classic Shorts From The Dream Factory Volume 3 and The Three Stooges: (Double Feature) from Warner Bros Gold Raiders / Meet the Baron . Also from Warner Bros. archives Swing Parade of 1946 . If you want to know more let me know I got almost everything from the three stooges
I have the same ultimate three stooges like you have, i got mine free. The boxx is in good shape but the DVDs inside were never open still sealed. I blown away.😲
It’s coming on Blu-ray 😂
BTW, The Stooges did a couple of 3D shorts which are on Volume Seven - the DVDs include both the 3D and flat versions AND 2 pair of 3D glasses!
I'll have to check my set and see if it still has the 3D glasses inside! Even if it doesn't, I've got 3D glasses all over the house. It's kind of funny. Open any random drawer, there may be 3D glasses inside.
Cereal At Midnight the 3 d shorts were only included in the first couple runs of the individual release you’ll have to look for it, luckily I had that set and just switched out the release
I used to record them on vhs and even though I have this release I still have my vhs’s because it’s cool to see the old commercials
To date, the best and only Ultimate/Complete Collection of The Three Stooges (or any show for that matter) that Sony has ever done, and the best packaging EVER.
They put out a paired down set a few years ago that was just the volume discs stacked in a big amaray case, and was missing the rarities discs... So you're still right lol
That's an awesome set. I own just a few of those single sets. I've always been a Shemp fan so I have all of the ones featuring him.
Great set. I picked this up at Best Buy years ago for $25. Had to swoop in on that deal.
Generally cama with DVD's if I find a case that is stag this I will replace the case with one with pages
It is so awesome that you will be investing time on the Stooges. They have been my favorite comedy team since I was a kid and this set was a long time coming. I just ordered a Laurel and Hardy box set so I can see more of their work. I hope you have a fun time. I forgot to mention that there is one short that was lost and believed to be burned in an MGM vault fire in 1967. "Hello Pop" was a two-color Technicolor 1933 short and a lone copy was found in 2013. It was restored and finally released on Classic Shorts From the Dream Factory: Volume 3.
I remember the first short I ever saw. I was like 6. They were baking a cake. Recipe said seperate two eggs. Dude picks up two complete in shell eggs. Makes them touch. Then "seperates" them and sets them down neatly still in their shell on either side of a bowl. I thought my stomach was going to rupture I laughed so hard. It was physically painful.
Great Adam Goldberg impersonation. That show is fantastic.
Yes love The Goldbergs
as a die hard 3 Stooges fan the past 36years (This set really doesn’t need to even exist it’s a re-release of the previous volumes in one big box) the only years you truly need is the Curly & Shemp years after that the act became this parody of itself (The Full Leigh films are also terrible) the cartoon itself is so/so there best cartoon version is when they did guest spots on Scooby Doo) if you are going go down the 3Stooges rabbit hole (The Three Stooges abc movie is actually really interesting but, heartbreaking) it’s usually free on Crackle, there’s also a outstanding 3 Stooges Documentary on dvd (That A&E was involved with) it’s simply awesome a bit rare now.... Just don’t dive into there really life until after you watch the shorts
So interesting to see how the Three Stooges stuff some people hate are others’ favorite, and vice versa. I’ll look up the documentary!
I bought my copy 6yrs ago and they look very clear like they was made today and I'm glad their still selling the collection
I bet the three stooges themselves would never have dreamed that one day someone would be holding their entire recorded career in ome hand.
I most certainly would like to have this...👌🏼💯✔
Mine js coming tomorrow at 8pm
It was a very funny show indeed. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually hurt themselves considering what they did to each other on the show. It's a classic regardless. Otherwise, thanks as always Heath for the continued hard work!
Excellent video and it’s so true. If you don’t support it and keep waiting for the new Blu Ray version to come it could stop it from ever getting one. Had to share this on my Twitter. Just some incredible stuff. I need this set
Thank you for sharing, Aaron! This video is a surprise hit, and I almost didn't even make it. Just a testament to how much love is out there for the Stooges.
I wonder what the comparison is between this set and the new half-assed set that came out on Blu-ray, and if it's worth the upgrade for picture quality.
This is a good review and helpful, thanks.
It is really hard to find a box set with EVERY Three Stooges short so it's awesome that this has every one. You are going to love them (if you aren't familiar with them) and laugh your ass off. One of the greatest comedy groups of all time
The Ultimate Collection seems to be $200 on Amazon now. I saw the Complete Collection for $50 or so. I'm torn.
I get what your saying though about "If they even come to Blu-Ray" Fortunately Universal did a Complete Collection of Abbott and Costello for the 80th anniversary on Blu-Ray via Shout Factory. It's a hell of a set. Shout Factory also released a Peter Sellers Pink Panther Collection on Blu-Ray that is now out of Print. My Mash Box set has the discs stacked on a spindle too which I guess makes some sense considering there is 11 seasons...
you will love the set. i bought them separately (except for the last one) before they offered them as a set (with and w/o the bonus set) which you can now get just the bonus set. just switch out the stacker case for a flipper case and your good to go.
I don't want Joe or Curly Joe in my house. Thinking about chucking those discs in the firepit.
I recently got my set for under $70, which felt like a solid deal for me as a big Three Stooges fan. I wanted to make sure I got the original set and not the re-release, which apparently stacks ALL the discs on top of each other and doesn't even include the bonus discs. I already had volumes 2 and 4, but I was glad to get the others. There are so many memorable shorts in the Curly era, such as Punch Drunks, Men In Black, Three Little Beers, Disorder In The Court, Dizzy Doctors, Back To The Woods, Playing The Ponies, Three Little Sew And Sews, We Want Our Mummy, You Nazty Spy and it's sort-of sequel I'll Never Heil Again, Cactus Makes Perfect, Three Little Twirps, Micro-Phonies, Three Little Pirates, and so on. The Shemp era isn't as strong, but it still contains some good shorts such as Heavenly Daze, Sing A Song Of Six Pants, All Gummed Up, Three Arabian Nuts, Goof On The Roof, and others. I wasn't as impressed with Joe Besser with the shorts I saw that featured him, but it's been a while since I saw any of those. What's unfortunate is that a lot of the later shorts were full of rehashing and corner cutting, but it's still The Three Stooges at the same time. Another reason I wanted to get this was because I haven't seen all of the shorts with Joe and maybe not even all the ones with Shemp. I'm definitely not fond of the bonus discs being stacked, but I now have an extra 2 disc case for two of the three discs. Well, here's hoping you'll be enjoying a lot from one of my favorite comedic teams of all time.
I love my set, I bought mine a couple of years ago. I like this release over the thinner packaging that showed up at Walmart
I bought that box set because of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi after watching Evil Dead with the commentaries. A scene from Evil Dead was inspired by one of The Stooges shorts. Love the videos man!!!!
Watching in chronological order I think is the best way to watch them
I bought them individually. The video quality of these 3 Stooges dvd’s are excellent.
Great set! Growing up we had so many videos of the Three Stooges. Many of them were the cheap tracking tapes!
Quotes from the opening monologue of Highlander are perfect for every occasion.
I probably shouldn't tell you I got this new from Family Video 7 years ago for $30. But I guess I just did. My son and I went through them all together over a long time. All except the bonus discs, which I just discovered a few weeks ago we had overlooked.
Fantastic deal! Glad you and your son were able to bond over them.
Larry, Moe & Shrimp was the best. 😁
The Stooges accrued a lot of injuries during their days in Vaudeville doing their stunts during live audience shows. They had to actually hit each other hard so the sound would carry to the back of the audience. When they did the shorts, they didn't have to because the sound effects were added later, but there were still accidents, some of them pretty severe. In fact, there's a CZcams video cataloguing some of them: ( czcams.com/video/W_qWxfYTH68/video.html ).
Most of the Stooges died of multiple strokes, with the exception of Shemp, who died of (most likely) a massive heart attack that just dropped him so fast he didn't notice it. So aside from smoking habits or dietary habits that may have exacerbated them, it's possible that these early injuries led to a propensity for erroneous blood clots.
It is indeed possible. Hard living, heavy drinking, and smoking can't be discounted, as so many actors of their generation didn't make it past 60.
This set is AWESOME. I purchased it a couple years ago and it's easily one of my favourite box sets that I own. I grew up watching Three Stooges shorts - they were on TV every Sunday morning for an hour and my Dad and I used to watch them together. Good times, man.
Edited to add: When you mentioned the Laurel & Hardy set that's in the works, I cheered! I've been waiting SO LONG for a L&H box set :D
That Laurel and Hardy set was supposed to be out this past week but has been pushed back a few weeks due to production taking longer than anticipated due to the current pandemic. I'm hoping to talk about them here on the channel as soon as they show up. These restorations have been in the works for a long time, and I can't wait to see them.
@@CerealAtMidnight It was supposed to come out as soon as that? I haven't seen it listed on Amazon.ca at all ... Hmm ... I'm wondering if Canada is getting it a lot later than the US is. And if that's the case, I'm bummed :(
Amazing collection! I remember picking this up on a best buy dotd for $25.
I only wish it was released on Blu-ray. Don't get me wrong. So glad I finally own this. So far it's absolutely fantastic. Reminds me of watching them with my grandfather.
Maybe we can get a crowd-funding campaign to save The Three Stooges like we have currently to save The Little Rascals. No HD elements exist for this stuff, and it's up to us to finance it. czcams.com/video/3SX6fBxhW-c/video.html
For THE longest time, I had no idea they made almost 200 shorts, I thought it was just the same few public domain ones they repeat on TV. I'm also one of those blasphemous Stooges fans who prefers Shemp over Curly, but even then, only by an eyelash.
The Three Stooges are hilarious, you going love the set.
Wow Heath - that's special.
❤
For Dr. Who fans the 2 Peter Cushing Who movies are up for preorder on blu ray at Best Buy
And for those who don’t mind buying from Amazon, they can grab the two releases through our affiliate links, which also helps support Cereal At Midnight by giving us a small percentage of each sale! From our Facebook Page:
Just saw that these 2 releases from Kino have been pushed back from July to August 11 at the earliest, and could be delayed again due to current circumstances.

Looks like a great set, that was a cool price too! Not into them at all, but really cool for anyone who is! 👍🏻
I bought my dad this for Christmas and we absolutely love it. Usually I don't care if something is on Blu-Ray or not, but in this case I'm waiting on a Blu-Ray release for my own collection. Hopefully enough people will buy or have bought enough to make that happen soon. If not, I can watch the DVDs with my dad.
I haven't even heard the faintest rumblings about these shorts being restored in HD (Mill Creek did release some of the movies on Blu-ray though). Now that I say this and that I bought this, I half expect an announcement for a Blu-ray collection volume 1. Ha ha!
@@CerealAtMidnight I wish Shout Factory had the rights to the Stooges content. They released Abbot and Costello on Blu-Ray which is great. At least All the Stooges content is together in some physical form though. It's a great set.
I still need to grab that Abbott and Costello set. The unfortunate thing about so many of these old comedy classics is that the shorts and movies themselves are often owned by a bunch of different companies. Even with Abbott and Costello, there are a couple of movies that aren't on the Shout Factory set because they were in the public domain (meaning they couldn't be licensed from Universal). Luckily, ClassicFlix has spent great time, effort, and money to restore Africa Screams and The Noose Hangs High.
@@CerealAtMidnight Yeah that's the only issue with the Abbot and Costello set, it's missing a few that were released by a couple different companies. All the great movies are on the Shout Factor release though. I also got it for my Dad and he loves it.
It's a great set, purchased it several years ago
Dying at the Goldbergs bit!
I collected each of the volumes individually, took years. When they first came out they were $30 - 50 each
DVD, Bluray, 4K I don't care what the series/film is on. As long as I can watch it I'll be happy. I'd prefer more film releases like Alita, 4K/3D/Blu/Digi but that a pipe dream. The only thing that will make me not buy/watch something is if in that format which leave it a tiny little box in the middle of the screen. I don't mind full screen, wide screen, but when it tries to be both.... like My Fellow Americans. It's so small on my TV I ended up ripping the film off the DVD and upscaling it myself. A little work, but I like the film enough.
I have all their shorts - I collected the volumes as they came out. Mow I gotta buy this box set to get the extras. Damn you Hollywood!
The Three Stooges - Rare Treasures From The Columbia Pictures Vault is available by itself www.amazon.com/dp/B00AIA89J6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6C46EbSRAY96H
Good looking out, James!
@@bigjim2573 Good call! Thanks!
Sony will release The Three Stooges shorts on Blu-ray.
Half of them, yeah.
@@CerealAtMidnight I just noticed that the Three Stooges YT channel is uploading all of them it seems. I think they are up to about 120 so far.
@@CerealAtMidnightI hope they release a Volume 2 or something.
I recently got this used for a good price... And three discs were missing. Why I oughta...
I don’t get what all the hoopla is about Blu-Ray. Of course most of what I watch is pre-1980 and its only going to look so good. I’ve been very satisfied with many DVD collections I have that have been restored. CBS/Paramount seems to do the best job with this. I don’t like the spindle stack. I put my complete Streets of San Francisco DVD set into envelopes but kept the box it came in. I really enjoy your reviews on here. I bought each of these individually as they came out, which means I paid a lot more for them. I’ve done this with many of my DVD sets.
The Three Stooges shorts were filmed on Film, which means that you can remaster a piece of film to 4k quality or higher.
I love the stooges die hard fan!!
Thanks for the review I love dvd
Mill creek has released two blu ray sets of 3 stooges movies each though there are still two stooges movies on dvd only most notable Snow White and the 3 stooges
Great point.
I’ve been so on the fence for this... as soon as I get the dvd, what are the chances a blu ray version comes out lol. Love the stooges though, hope you enjoy!
Just wait for the blu-ray. Im pretty sure this will come out eventually.
7:37
Cereal At Midnight yeah you’re right, I was just saying, with my luck, the blu ray will come out as soon as I buy it. But yeah, more than likely it won’t be as complete as a dvd set, plus blu ray will be more expensive.
I just buy a new case when they stack the disks cases aren't that expensive so I don't complain when I get a set with stacked disks I do keep the original with a sticky note on it so if I sold the set I can send the original case with it
I only have the ones with Curly and some with Shemp.
Quick question have seen any of three stooges movies ? And the three stooges movie with moe on the jersey shore I count . As well as stop look and laugh . Also have ever seen a movie called stooge mania? And if so what do you think of it ?
Hey man I really really enjoy your channel man!!!. I am a huge collector of physical media as well. That includes VHS as well aside from dvd and blue ray. Please keep the videos coming. I love seeing more and more fellow collectors and true loves of cinema like myself. Just subbed. Also you may like my channel as well. I do classic movie reviews, right now I am currently reviewing the universal classic monster movies starting with frankenstein than on the others. I also show off my own short films, fake trailers and commercials, rant videos about whats wrong with todays entertainment, and I am about to start doing pickup videos etc. KEEP GETTING YOUR CINEMA ON!!!.
Looks like an awesome set
How many volumes have you gone through at this point?
Bought Harley Davidson and the malbro man blu Ray
Man I love the stooges! To me, I cant get into Joe or Curly-Joe. Shemp and Curly all the way!! My dad got me watching the boys since age 3 or 4. My fave short is Mutts to You!!
Hi i had a question i want to buy the three stooges but im confused about getting the 8-DVD Or The Three Stooges DVD Collection 12-DVD set what's the difference
does it have the movie collection
How do you set a price watch? The set is currently $60 at Best Buy. Would love that $45ish dollar price range
I use camelcamelcamel.com, which will send you an email when something hits a desired price. It's only for Amazon, though.
It's time those were on blu
Not everything comes to Blu-ray, especially when the expensive and time-consuming restoration of nearly 200 individual shorts are involved. Only ten percent of what was released on DVD has been given the Blu-Ray upgrade. That means 90 percent of all DVD titles are still ONLY on DVD. We vote with our dollars, so I’ve done my part to send a message to Sony that there’s an audience for Three Stooges in 2020. Hopefully others have done and will do the same!
If you never watched the three stooges stop what you’re doing and go watch like 5 episodes then comeback lol
Strangely 3 stooges are hardly known in the uk.
May I suggest you looking up will hay.
Ah, Will Hay. The inspiration that Rob Zombie drew upon to create younger, less evil brother of Dr. Satan, Dr. Muffin.
@@CerealAtMidnight I have literally no idea...
I'm just joking. Rob Zombie pulled the character of Dr. Satan from an old 30s serial. I'm pretending he also had a character called Dr. Muffin, which was a Will Hay character.
Shemp is my favorite stooge. Joe is a good stooge but not as good as the others
It's so interesting (and great) to see how different people love different Stooges. Some folks say "Shemp? No thanks." And some, like you, consider Shemp a favorite. I love the variety!
@@CerealAtMidnight thanks for the reply! I just subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
You said early in you don't have much experience with three stooges. I remember and its something I mentioned in a video I made (not uploaded right now), that you and James both made the same observations that are almost contradictory and its been a cautionary tale for me. You both recommended only buying things you care about. You also have both admitted you know you can never watch everything you own. So as a new collector I'm curious how deep into it were you before you went from buying favorites you knew you loved, to starting to explore outside your comfort zone?
That's a great question! I've been a dedicated movie fan for thirty years and I've been a film COLLECTOR for 25 of those. My advice about collecting what you love is geared toward people who are looking for advice on how to get into the hobby, and I see so many people (truly, the majority of the film community on CZcams, it seems) focusing on "look at how many movies I bought" and not "look at how many movies I watched!" The emphasis seems to be on acquiring and buying things, but not on what actors and performers and directors they've discovered and come to love, or even of their growing knowledge and fandom. I even saw a guy on CZcams with quite a bit of views talking about buying huge lots of movies through eBay because "they look good on a shelf." So my message has been "only buy what you care about." Don't worry about quantity, or having an impressive shelf. Buy what you care about, and the impressive collection will come in time.
HOWEVER. I've owned all the movies I truly love for quite a long time. I've bought my favorites on VHS, on DVD, on Blu-ray, and now even on 4K as they come out in the new best format. Movie fans do eventually reach a point in their fandom where you've seen all the usual suspects that film fans talk about (The Usual Suspects is one of the usual suspects, lol, as is Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Goodfellas, and dozens of other flicks that are talked about endlessly). One of the luxuries of living in the time-frame that we live in is that we now have access to more of movie history than any generation of film fan ever before us, and the movies themselves look cleaner and are restored far beyond ever before, as well. So when guys like me get to a point where we've seen so much, we start to dig into movie history. In my few years here on CZcams, I've gone from being a movie fan who had a collection that I wanted to share with people to being, lord help me, sort of a movie dad for a lot of younger movie fans. Because I know so many of the most popular movies like the back of my hand, my interests (and the focus of this channel) is now pop culture from the 1930s all the way through the eighties and nineties, and those are the areas that most other CZcams channels are actually talking the least about. Our niche has emerged as the champion of the deep cut and the forgotten gem.
So this is a long answer to a very succinct question. I'm in a phase of my movie fandom where I am just having a blast discovering all the darker corners of cinema history, and it's a luxury for me because I get to explore so many movies from the deepest recesses of studio vaults (film noir, Japanese science fiction, westerns that haven't been on disc in a decade) and really explore what's out there. Often, the only way for me to do this is to buy these releases as they come out. It's also become important to me to support the companies releasing these films financially, because it's only through supporting these releases that we can get more. I'm in a stage of exploration where I've moved outside of the mainstream and deep into the largely uncharted catalog (at least by CZcams standards) of movie history. Thousands and thousands of movies, just waiting to be explored and talked about in a new generation!
But I suppose it's important to make sure that people understand that it's taken me a long time to get here, and I didn't start my movie collection by blind-buying handfuls of movies. I started with what I love, and that's what I continued to do for 15-20 years after that. Now I'm in the area of esoteric and fringe enthusiasms, learning about the people that built Hollywood a hundred years ago and the actors that have been dead for half-a-century. But that's not a good place for young, new movie fans to start. That's a place you come to after many years.
I hope that clears things up and that I was able to express these points in a way that makes sense. I've actually been trying to tackle this subject in a video for a while, but have struggled with how to do it. This may have helped me do it, so thanks for the question!
@@CerealAtMidnight Thanks! Yeah I ask because I'm in a unique situation. One of the reasons I'm getting into it beyond frustration with purely digital content and a bit of nostalgia is that I live abroad, hopefully permanently, which forces me to keep my collection a bit more modest so its easier to transport. It can still be pretty sizable by layman standards but I really can't at this point have a room that's just DVDs. I too am always drawn to these dark recesses or getting really into something I haven't been that into before. But every time I think "How cool would it be to own a box set of 100 30s gangster movies!?" Another voice says umm...you don't even own Kill Bill yet and that is your favorite movie of all time. Series are an even harder debate. I love star trek so much I'd take a bullet for it so in my first haul I ordered TOS season 1. I'm super excited about it, and shelf vanity aside its going to look so good next to my Leonard Nimoy autograph (humble brag) but I also know this is a MONSTER of a franchise to tackle with several series spanning up to 7 seasons each and 10 movies that I personally recognize. So now I look at other series too and I'm like yeah I want that... But should I finish collecting star trek first? I'll be done getting all of it in 26 years I'm sure! haha. Thanks for the big answer I love it.
$127 on Amazon
It’s $99 nowadays
Maybe I missed it but when was this set released?
It was released years ago.
They started releasing individual seasons one by one in the early 2000's, but the Great Recession halted production for a while.
Afterwards, the "big black box" came out and any of them made up to 2012 came with two pairs of 3D glasses for several special episodes in season 7.
Thanks man. You must be a fan of the Stooges. Not the Iggy Pop group. Haha
@@perryfan49 You can still find one anywhere they sell second-hand DVD's or books, or Walmart has a "slim box" version of it.
Has anyone added this to there plex media server with success in having trouble
Your wrong dude all you need is the collection once you get past 48 it starts too fall off past 51 it’s not even the same thing it sucks curly gone you see him on a train in the one he doesn’t speak I gave them away as a matter of fact it was that bad
