Title: Shemp: The Underrated Stooge
Review: Poor Shemp Howard. He never got the recognition he deserved. All the Curlyphiles out there think Curly was the funniest stooge, and while he was indeed hilarious, Shemp was also a comic genius in his own right.It's a matter of taste, I suppose. Curly was the jolliest stooge. Shemp was something of a sad Stooge, the victim of inanimate objects as well as his impatient brother Moe. And therein lies the lack of appreciation for Shemp's comedic talents. Comparing Shemp and Curly is like comparing apples and oranges--or cream pies and oranges.While some think these episodes of Stoogedom are rehashes and pale versions of Curly's work, I see them as Shemp reinterpretations. Let's let Shemp be Shemp.So sit back and enjoy slapstick comedy the way it was meant to be, an escape from the filthy and talentless "comedians" of today. Keep an open mind, and delight in Shemp Howard: the unappreciated Stooge.
