Introduction to the weekly episode discussions

metaldams · **Reply #125 on:** September 24, 2015, 06:55:31 PM

Very busy weekend coming, hanging out with not one, not two, but three groups of friends. No doubt this tarnishes my hard earned reputation as a crazed recluse. Aiming for late Friday night/early Saturday morning for the Stooge review and Sunday morning for Laurel and Hardy, but ultimately they will happen when they happen. For you Stooge fans not checking out the Laurel and Hardy reviews, it's a Stooge history lesson this week, as THE LAUREL-HARDY MURDER CASE is the original IF A BODY MEETS A BODY. Check it out, but not before watching last week's HOG WILD, a genuine masterpiece.

No worries Metal--I don't think I have much to add about this week's stooge short anyway. What I'm really looking forward to is next week when--dare I say--we enter what I would call the "Golden Age" of Shemp shorts.....

The BE BIG! review has been edited in. Looking forward to possible counter opinions, and even you souls who agree.

Laughing Gravy review is now ready for viewing.

metaldams · **Reply #129 on:** November 15, 2015, 07:34:01 PM

Starting this week, the Laurel and Hardy reviews will be moved to Monday nights.

metaldams · **Reply #130 on:** November 29, 2015, 08:56:55 PM

Well, a streak is about to end. I plan on taking a week off from reviewing. I've been doing this non stop for years, am going through some personal stuff, and just need a week off. Planning to come back refreshed a week from this Monday with the next Laurel and Hardy short and then starting in 1952 for the Stooges.

Get recharged, get re-energized. I really appreciate the effort and output of these reviews. Very well done. Take your time, come back when the time is right.

The Laurel and Hardy HELPMATES review has been edited in. Do yourself a favor if you haven't followed the Laurel and Hardy stuff. Click on the link below, watch the link I provided above the review, and enjoy. An all-time classic.

LISTEN, JUDGE review now up; and CORNY CASANOVAS will definitely be the day after Christmas, meaning Saturday, so don't expect the review page before then. I think most of us, myself included, will be busy this Friday.

BeatleShemp · **Reply #136 on:** December 20, 2015, 09:49:45 AM

Hi Metaldams, how come I can't look at the older posts? The board only goes to four pages, so I can't read the previous shorts.

There are four pages worth of reviews, nothing more than that. They're all there. Was there one you were looking for you couldn't find?

BeatleShemp · **Reply #138 on:** December 21, 2015, 08:07:37 PM

I couldn't find BEER BARREL POLECATS.

BeatleShemp · **Reply #139 on:** December 21, 2015, 08:09:23 PM

Nevermind. I found it. Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

No need to apologize, I'm just thrilled people such as yourself are referencing old threads.

metaldams · **Reply #141 on:** January 02, 2016, 08:46:45 AM

First off, next Stooge review a few hours after I type this.

Secondly, my apologies to those who are into it, but I am now going to stop the Laurel and Hardy reviews. It's a combination of two reviews a week being a bit much and the response to the Laurel and Hardy reviews have been minimal as of late. I'm glad Paul Payne became a fan and thanks to those who read and those who posted, but my energies will be strictly Stooges as far as reviews go.

Big Chief Apumtagribonitz · **Reply #142 on:** January 02, 2016, 11:44:35 AM

Not surprised. Keep up the great work.

When THE MUSIC BOX can't get a discussion, it's time to pack it in...and thanks. Doing one review a week now, the energy levels should be higher.

As a mostly-lurker, I really enjoyed your L&H reviews while they lasted anyway. I'd hoped to participate more frequently but started falling behind on my weekly L&H viewing because I'm terrible at keeping to a schedule, even a low-commitment schedule like one short a week (only just now watched COME CLEAN, which you reviewed weeks ago).

On a personal level, I'm now watching Laurel and Hardy films in order back to back instead of once a week. It's been a marathon this weekend, probably watching seven or eight shorts and one feature....and the weekend's not through.

Seamus · **Reply #147 on:** January 03, 2016, 12:09:57 PM

Must be liberating to cut loose on them without having to regulate your viewing for a weekly review.

The weekly discussions set me on course to watch L&H in order again myself, but in opposite-of-a-marathon fashion (like one every couple weeks). They're competing with the other in-order viewing projects I have going on - MST3K, Rockford Files, Kolchak (really keeping my finger on the pulse of the modern TV landscape, clearly) - not to mention Neflix and TCM stuff.

Paul Pain · **Reply #148 on:** January 03, 2016, 12:26:52 PM

Hopefully sometime soon I can get around to watching the Laurel and Hardy shorts so that maybe we can get the ship sailing again!

Shemp_Diesel · **Reply #149 on:** February 05, 2016, 08:04:05 PM

Time sure does fly, don't it? Seems like just yesterday, the weekly discussions started with Woman Haters.

I've never attempted to ever watching the stooges in chronological order, just knowing that it would not be too long before I got to "the back of Joe Palma's head" and Joe Besser. Metal, you have my sympathies in the weeks to come.
