 For Collectors Only... January 7, 2009
This DVD is really nothing special; everything on it can be found cheap other places (it's all public domain).
The one original feature is the 45-minute documentary 'Remembering Shemp'. It's interesting, but not very creative. It's composed almost entirely of three talking heads (Shemp's granddaughter, his daughter-in-law, and her sister), nothing too provocative. Since it's not well edited, they end up talking about their own lives as much as Shemp's, so don't be fooled by the running time.
As a Shemp fan, I'd recommend this as a rental, tops, the only reason you might want to own it is to have all this stuff in one collecion.
 Shemp deserves better August 28, 2008
What a disappointing DVD. The only saving grace was the bonus feature: Remembering Shemp, but even that got tedious with repeated footage continually going on throughout the feature. How many times do you have to see Shemp waving a hanky around? 6 or seven times? The quality of all the shorts are terrible, the worst being the Camel Comedy Caravan with what looks like a cat's coughed-up furball on the upper left-hand corner of the screen during the whole show. Though it was nice to see some of Shemp's early work, with the way the are wonderfully restoring the Three Stooges, you are better to wait until the volumes come out with Shemp in them before you waste your money on this DVD.
 Big Time Ripoff July 25, 2008

I am a huge Stooge fan and really got ripped off on this DVD ... The sound and picture quality of the non-stooge shorts was just awful. The interviews of family and friends were boring and dreadful ... I am hugely disappointed in this DVD ... it is a shame because Shemp deserves better.
 A "Stooge" for all seasons! June 21, 2008

The "3 Stooges", was, one of the best, visually-entertaining ('slapstick') 'menu of comedy', ever to come out of America. The "Little Rascals" was the other. Shemp was a comic genious extraordinaire. No 'modern day' comedian could even begin, to compete with him (with the possible exceptions of Tommy Cooper and Jack Benny) when it all boils down to, merely, appearing on the screen, and, making the viewer wish, that, such an 'appearance' would go on; indefinitely.
 Great addition to my collection June 13, 2008
