Legend Films has partnered with Topics Entertainment, and repackaged some of its past DVDs into a new 4-pack, "Screen Legends: The Three Stooges."  Topics is primarily a distributor of documentaries and foreign-language-instruction software; this deal is probably intended to add distribution channels for Legend's products.

Target is currently carrying this set @ $9.99.  Included are...

 -  The Three Stooges: Extreme Rarities
 -  The Three Stooges: Live & Hilarious
 -  The Three Stooges: Greatest Routines
 -  The Three Stooges in Color

Recommended primarily for the "Extreme Rarities" and "Live & Hilarious" discs, which have been discussed here a number of times since their 2007 release.  They include a lot of relatively rare Three Stooges material, e.g., their 1959 skits on THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW, a 1939 SCREEN SNAPSHOTS appearance, clips from the 1965 TV special DANNY THOMAS MEETS THE COMICS, and 1960's interview show ON THE GO, trailers, more.  Most material is colorized, but with only a couple exceptions, you can select a B&W viewing option.  (Above links to ThreeStooges.net's Videography pages provide itemized details for each disc.)



Timeless Video will release "PETER GUNN The Complete Series" on October 23.  Joe Besser guest-starred in a season 3 episode, "Cry Love, Cry Murder" (3/27/61).




Warner Home Video will release "Scooby Doo Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games" on July 17.  It'll include twelve 1977 episodes of SCOOBY'S ALL-STAR LAFF-A-LYMPICS; eight of them are new-to-DVD.  Joe Besser costarred doing voiceover for the character of 'Babu the Genie.'

Do you know if Target is still carrying these? I am a few months late and could not find the set at Target.com.  I would like to get them if they are still available at this price.  Thanks

There's a Blu-ray version coming out too. Silly as it may seem, I've been debating about whether or not I should get it.

That beautiful picture of Marilyn on the front cover makes it tempting, no matter what the content is.
