WHAT A WAY TO GO! (1964 Widescreen), 6/2  7:45AM, 7/27  9:30AM

[BeAStooge]

THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW (1961 - 1965) will be run on RetroTV (RTV) beginning June 30, every Saturday from 5PM - 6PM Eastern.  Joe Besser costars as 'Mr. Jillson.'

In the past, the sitcom's television syndication package consisted of the 2nd - 4th seasons, which featured Joey as an NYC late night TV host.   I haven't found an episode listing for RTV, and am guessing that the channel will begin with season 2 (*).  The series' episode details from those three seasons can be found at ThreeStooges.net's Television Guest Appearances Filmography.


* Season 2 is available on DVD.

Does anyone else remember Joe Besser as Stinky in Abbott and Costello's TV show?  I found him to be more tolerable there than I did when he was a Stooge.

Bessier was ok as Stinky because he was only in episodes for 3-5 minutes each time...not enough time to get tired of his schtick and he and Lou had good chemistry..much better than Bessier had with Moe and Larry. Bessier as the kind of effeminate man-boy is ok in small doses.

You make a good point about low doses of Besser; I never thought of it that way.     It was the interaction between Joe the antagonist and Lou the victim that worked, which I think you suggested when you mentioned chemistry. 
Rich Koz - - WCIU-TV's host of "Stooge-a-Palooza" - - said that Moe accepted Joe as a third stooge because he thought he was a good comedian, but that flies in the face of Joe's obvious flaws and faults.  Another source, a book the name of which ecapes me, said the studio told Moe it was Joe or no more Stooges.  I think that sounds far more plausible.
