Hosted by Alan Thicke, and narrated by Gary Owens, this syndicated television special marked the 60th anniversary of The Three Stooges' first film appearance. Primarily using public domain film and television clips, Thicke hosts a history of the Stooges. Trivia and discussions of the comedy team's film sound effects, etc., are joined by several segments starring comedians Wil Shriner and Jeff Altman, MTV host Julie Brown, and game show hostess Janice Pennington. Emil Sitka appears as himself, to discuss some of his experiences with the Stooges. The TV special contains the complete music video of THE CURLY SHUFFLE (1984), and is capped off with a garishly colorized version of MALICE IN THE PALACE (1949).

Film clips from IN THE DOUGH (1933), MEET THE BARON (1933), HOLLYWOOD PARTY (1934), HOLLYWOOD ON PARADE (1934), DISORDER IN THE COURT (1936), KNIFE OF THE PARTY (1937), TROUBLE CHASERS (1945), BRIDELESS GROOM (1947), SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS (1947), JERKS OF ALL TRADES (1949), CAMEL COMEDY CARAVAN (1950), THE FRANK SINATRA SHOW (1952), HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL (1959), SIMONIZ CAR WAX (1960), STRICTLY FOR LAFFS (1960), THE NEW 3 STOOGES (1965), STAR SPANGLED SALESMAN (1968), and outtakes from THE OUTLAWS IS COMING!
