I was a college student back in the early 80's and I did my final exam paper on the Stooges. A 17 page tome that earned me an "A."
Yeah, back in junior high and high school, I incorporated the Stooges into a couple of projects. In junior high, probably 7th or 8th grade, I gave an oral book report on Moe's memoirs,
Moe Howard and the 3 Stooges. During my senior year in high school I was the entertainment editor of the school paper. It was the fall of 1990, and I wrote a story about the history of the Stooges in recognition of the 60th anniversary.
Back during high school, we here in San Antonio had an independant TV station, KRRT, which used to broadcast the Stooges. At one point during my senior year, the station dropped the boys from it's line-up. I immediately started up a petition which I passed around school. It was an attempt to get the Stooges back on the air. I collected well over 100 signatures. KRRT did return the Stooges back to the airwaves, but eventually dropped them for good. Oh, well. At least I tried.
