what type of comedy is the three stooges
The Three Stooges The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy team active from 1922 until 1970, best known for their 190 short subject films by Columbia Pictures that have been regularly airing on television since 1958. Their hallmark was physical farce and slapstick. In films, the stooges were commonly known by their actual first names. There were a total of six stooges over the act's run (with only three active at any given time), but Moe Howard and Larry Fine were the mainstays throughout the ensemble's nearly fifty-year run and the pivotal "third Stooge" was played by (in order of appearance) Shemp Howard, Curly Howard, Joe Besser, or Curly Joe DeRita.
Three's a Crowd Three's a Crowd continued from Three's Company where in its final episodes, Vicky Bradford (Mary Cadorette) is introduced as a love interest of Jack Tripper (John Ritter), beginning in "Cupid Works Overtime". In the following two-part episode, "Friends and Lovers", Jack asks Vicky to marry him but she refuses and explains that although she loves Jack, she does not want to be married because she remembers when her father and mother got divorced and she explains that marriage scares her. Jack and Vicky, however, eventually move to a new apartment together above his restaurant, the landlord of which is James Bradford (Robert Mandan), Vicky's wealthy father, who bought the building from Jack's former boss, Frank Angelino (Jordan Charney). James does not approve of Jack and he constantly tries to disrupt their relationship.
