What If Curly Returned?
Stooge-Adam:
Let's say history was different. Curly still suffered his stroke in 1946 and Shemp still replaced him. Now let's say that Curly got better and in 1950 (after three years of Shemp shorts) Curly returned to the act. In this alternate world, Curly lives until sometime in the 1980s. Shemp is with the boys from "Fright Night" to "Dunked in the Deep." Curly returns with "Punchy Cowpunchers" and remains with the act for the remainder of the Stooges' career.
Three questions:
1. How would the Stooge's act have been different?
2. What would your feelings be on Shemp leaving and being replaced by Curly?
3. What would a world be like without Joe and Curly-Joe as later year Stooges?

this is actually not a bad question. Ive always wondered what Malice in the Palace, Spook Louder and other non Curly shorts would have been like if he never died.
Stooge-Adam:
I was thinking about how the plan was for Shemp to take over until Curly got better. In real life, Curly never got better and Shemp stayed until his death. So it had me wondering what it would have been like if things went according to plan.

1. I think they just would've consistently made the same level of quality Curly shorts for a couple of years until budgets went down, assuming Curly's back at 100% health.
2. It would stink if Shemp left, but maybe he would've found a niche for himself in television.
3. I think the world would find a way to survive.
