Does anybody find it strange that Moe hardly punishes Shemp in this short? I do, it was like Larry was getting the punishment of the third stooge instead of the middle stooge.

Truth be told, I never gave it a thought.  However, I was surprised by the low slap quotient in "Goofs and Saddles."

Me too, I would have liked to see more slapstick between the Stooges in "Goofs And Saddles", to me that was holding the episode back from being a classic.

I watched this yesterday since I just received a Super 8 print a few days ago.

I haven't watched "A Plumbing We Will Go" in a while, so I won't compare.

This was a very funny short -- easily one of the best Shemps. I laughed out loud a few times. I notice that when I haven't watched many Stooges shorts in a while that I find them funnier, but I suppose that that goes for just about any of the comedians. I'm also more focused when I watched them on film rather than on video. It's much more involving for me -- but that's an entirely different topic for a different day.

Since they got Dudley Dickerson anyway, I'm not sure why they just didn't have him re-enact his old scenes -- or create some new gags with him in the kitchen.


BTW, when I google the name of this short, I found this!
