What If Curly Returned?
LoU fRoM pRiSoN:
Being a Shemp fan, I would love to see this question turned around the other way:
What if Curly had never joined the Stooges?
Desmond Of The Outer Sanctorum:
I just found this thread and didn't realize I'd already replied several months ago. Anyway, wanted to add a thought:
If Curly came back and the Shemp era ended in 1950, I would have wished there could have been more Shemp shorts!

They still would have been great, but probably not quite so popular.

I doubt it. I think the main reason some people (especially casual viewers) don't like Shemp is because they got used to Curly's style of humor. Then, when they watch a Shemp short and see that his style of comedy is completely different, they automatically say he's not as funny as Curly and continue life with this "I hate Shemp" attitude. I bet if Curly had never joined, the stooges would still be just as popular. I have no doubt in my mind about that. As a matter of fact, it would've been that way if Shemp didn't quit during the Healy years.
