One addendum to that last post: anyone who can arrange for me to view even a single episode of The Three Robonic Stooges will be paid at least twenty American dollars. Consider it a standing offer.

In The Three Robonic Stooges, everybody’s favorite slapstick comedy team returned to Saturday morning, this time as crime-fighting mechanical superheroes….Larry, Curly, and hey, Moe as androids, working for their long-suffering boss, Triple Zero…there was no shortage of eye-poking, face-slapping, nose-tweaking, and Curly’s patented “nyuk, nyuk,” but this time around it was in the interest of national security.

Bumbling as always, these android crime-busters were constantly crashing into one another, spouting springs and bolts, and generally malfunctioning—usually while on the job. However, maladroit as they were, they never failed to bring the various villains to justice, whether international master spies or the Giant of the Beanstalk.

Actually, here’s a great page of horrendous Saturday morning cartoons. Among them: Will The Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down?, Fred & Barney Meet The Shmoo, Partridge Family: 2200 A.D., and Gilligan’s Planet.
