I found this list a friend compiled years and years and years ago of the first Three Stooges shorts shown on WGN-TV (Channel 9) in Chicago when they picked up the first package of shorts in 1958. From what I was told, this was compiled by going through reels and reels of microfilm at the downtown Chicago Public Library decades ago, way before a lot of stuff could be pulled up on the internet. It is interesting to note that although the first series released to TV included 78 shorts, they weren't just the first 78 in order, but they were all "pre-1948" like other packages of theatrical films back then (in order to avoid paying residuals to actors according to then-current SAG agreements). In fact, the first two shorts aired in Chicago featured Shemp. Also note that although several shorts repeat over the course of these listings, the total number does not equal 78 -- I wonder which were withheld and for what reasons, if any? Enjoy...
