This is actually the second pilot, they did a pilot in 1949 with Shemp that also was not sold. It's hard to believe the Networks not caring too much for The Stooges, it just boggles the mind.

Me too !! The Three Stooges would have been great in their own TV series !!

THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK is the Holy Grail of "lost episodes." Incredible...

Never thought I'd see the stooges with a laugh track!

seems so unnatural

I wondered how this came to be in "3 Stooges in Orbit". That snippet of theme music always stuck in my head after that movie. Glad to see it was a real thing, even if only as an unsold pilot.

Columbia Pictures didn't want to scrap nearly 30 minutes of footage filmed, so they just added it to The Three Stooges In Orbit

3:08. OMG They had Flat TV technology in the 50's !!!!!

Lol, Emil Sitka at 6:00. I once saw a long interview with Curly Joe DeRita, he was such a class act. He was interesting to listen to and had nothing but good things to say about Moe Howard, Larry Fine and the Stooge legacy in general.

He didn't like the Stooges humor, but he didn't not like being a Stooge. Joe Besser, on the other hand, saw it more of as "a job," from what I can gather. He lightened up about it in his later years, though.

With some good writing I think this could've worked as a series. After all it was only a few years later that things like Gilligan's Island, Green Acres and The Monkees were popular.

This was used in The Three Stooges in Orbit almost scene for scene.

lol love when moe says his own name in the word momentus

Lol although he’s aging too much

This was produced in 1960: the live-action footage was later reworked into their 1962 feature, "The Three Stooges In Orbit".

What is definitely fascinating the presence of Charley Douglass' laugh track. It works. The stooge films lend themselves to the chuckles...

This is their second pilot, they had a pilot in the late 40's, early 50's with Shemp.

Curly Joe was such a great Stooge.

I remember some of the scenes so far. This is almost identical to the Three Stooges movie The Three Stooges In Orbit, right?

From the hotel room to where their bags are thrown back at them are the scenes that used in "The Three Stooges in Orbit" movie, same with the scene where they showed up at the mansion.

Larry was crazy enough, Curly-Joe he’s seems to be more crazier, and Moe...well He’s a legend

The problem wasn't Curly Joe, it was that by the time Curly Joe was added to the lineup, Moe and Larry had been doing this for more than two decades and were physically exhausted. Even if Curly had come back from the dead and rejoined the team, it still wouldn't have had the same spark.

Good point. I watched a movie about them and the woman who played Moe's wife even said that they were 46 and how much of the slapstick humor could they keep up?

This tv show pilot..never got on the air..but? it did become the basis for the second feature film that the boys produced thru their own studio"Normandy Productions Inc."and released thru Columbia Pix' "The Three Stooges In Orbit!".

This is really wild!! This had to have been shot around 1960, given the car they drive, and then you get to see Emil Sitka as well!! This is definitely amusing, and Curly Joe manages to entertain me. Very cool find!

This is just great !!!

I love the Stooges.

god i wish curly never had that stroke

It was just getting interesting at the end...good luck on your search!

Wow! I've never seen this before. I had read about it in various Stooge books, but never thought I'd actually see it. Thanks much! I haven't seen The Three Stooges In Orbit in many years. Was this footage used in that film, or was it re-shot specifically for that film?

This is just great !!!!

Thanks...I see it up there now.

Great find, I did not know Ruth Bader Ginsburg worked with the stooges.

With some really good laughs in Around the World in a Daze and The Outlaws is coming its odd to think that Maurer couldn't have done better. While mildly amusing it isn't terribly funny.

I didn't like The 3 Stooges that had Joe Besser or Curly Joe DeRita. Both of those guys didn't like getting smacked by Moe. So Larry stepped up to the plate and said he would take the slaps and punches! Larry, Curly, Shemp & Moe are in my mind the only true Stooges!

😭 I will always love the 3 stooges

Is the failed pilot in color or something? I mean the color quality looms so faded.

CRACKED.

I hope you find the other half too!

Three stooges in orbit for the scenes with them.

That's a 1960 or '61 Chevy ( convertible ) they're driving. My father's friend bought one brand new and it only cost $2,300 dollars !

there is a part 2 of this but AFTER part 2 is whats lost

Looking for a certain talk show from the 60s. Hosts name escapes me. My mom painted some portraits of the stooges, they had her come on with this giant painting and they were interviewing her and Moe. Anyone have access to this lost media?

Walter Huston meets The Three Stooges.

1960...

I never seen this. Why didn't this show get the greenlight?

Cracked.

Wow! I thought this had been lost

cracked

this is the movie the three stooges in orbit

It would have been funnier if the TV had shown something about cows after he turned it on.

The 3 Stooges meet the Emperor!

It ain't bad for what it is.

FUCK CRACKED.

I can see why this didn't make. The background laughter ruins it. 😏

2:33

3:26

hey i don't like the ads

Stooges were way past thier prime in this.

Awful!

Yeah, umm, this sucks ass compared to the old flicks. I guess you need young guys for physical comedy.

the worst sitcom ive ever seen
