The Robonic Stooges (1978)

 Struck by nostalgia, I decided to watch the episode(s) of "Scooby-Doo" which feature the Three Stooges. These are rip-offs, by the way, the "Three Stooges" are voiced by voice actors and don't particularly act very Stoogey. What's the point of "meeting" the Three Stooges if you're not going to meet the Three Stooges? Sad. Anyway, the Scooby-Doo wiki had the following tantalizing tidbit:

“The Three Stooges starred in their own non-canon series called The Robonic Stooges, where they are cyborg superheroes.”

Say what?

Yes, it's real. If you've followed the blog for any length of time you'll notice that one of the themes is to find the oddities of pop-culture, watch them and explore them in lengthy reviews. However, "The Robonic Stooges" has not been released on DVD, and few episodes exist on the internet. Furthermore, this is a show from the 70s about robotic Stooges sent on "Charlie's Angels" type missions to capture criminals, who has the energy to even approach this? I don't. Where would I begin? I can't. And what's the deal with the 70s? Was everyone on drugs all of the time?

If you want to make small talk at a party, just mention that this show exists. That's enough. If you want to watch a "full" episode (5 minutes long) here is one of the only ones I've found.
