Yes, they were immensely popular. They were popular enough to have made feature films in the 30's instead of shorts, but the boss at Columbia would not let them because he did not want to pay them as movie stars. Television in the 50's revived the Three Stooges, and at last they were able to make movies.
Yes, all of them had blue eyes. I found it surprising when I read it at the Stoogeum, the Three Stooges museum in PA. They have IDs and licenses and other things from the Stooges in there, and all of them said the four Stooges (Moe, Curly, Shemp, and Larry) all had blue eyes.
It is written:
"Dr.I.YANKUM
DENTIST"
anythings"s possible with reruns, generally. There are, of course stitched-together anthology films of the Stooges" works, usually shown late at night or near or on minor holidays such as Halloween. You can"t keep a good stooge down! There were or are also cartoon variants. they drew the ire of Dr. Spock as he knew of kindergartners who thought the (parade) sequence of two of the stooges using Curley"s head for a drum was hilarious, noit realizing how dangerous it was, the Stooges were past masters of slapstick, and in fact were nealy impotent sans sound effects and trick photography, on stage, live, they were almost boring! My Undle Bob saw them live at the De Witt theatre in Bayonne in the late thirties and was turned off.
The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy act of the early to mid-20th century best known for their numerous short subject films. Their hallmark was physical slapstick comedy punctuated by quickly-delivered one-liners, within outrageous storylines.
The basic premise for all their work was that they would take any job they could get no matter how little they were qualified for it.
See the link below for a detailed biography of the Three Stooges and the characters who made up the act.
It is an idea, but as far as I know, Judy Garland and the Three Stooges never worked on the same billing. If the Stooges played the ( Good Guy monsters, for lack of a better term, in Wizard of Oz, it would have degenerated into a farce, which it was not.
Jerome Lester Horwitz, AKA "Curly" Howard of Three Stooges fame shaved his hair off and became the "third" Stooge when his brother Shemp Howard (Samuel Horwitz), left the troupe to go with another act.
Curly was not on camera when he suffered a number of strokes and was found by his brother Moe Howard (Harry Moses Horwitz) who went looking for him after Curly failed to show up for a scene they were getting ready to film. Jerome later died as a result of the strokes.
As commercial sellers of the print have had to remove the Three Stooges from it, due to copyright infringement, I guess the value depends on how bad someone wants one! They are extremely hard to find. I have a beautifully framed one that I bought nearly 10 years ago. I've seen one on a fan's website and one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/GAME-OF-FATE-MONROE-BOGART-DEAN-3-STOOGES-Artwork_W0QQitemZ360096646780QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Prints?hash=item360096646780&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14

While the Stooges were making the two reelers they only were shown in movie theatres and not on television. It was not until after they ended their contract with Columbia, after the 1958 season, that Screen Gems bundled their two reelers into packages and sold them to television stations. Station KTTV in Los Angeles is believed to have bought the first package and began airing them in 1959.

I believe curly died first due to a series of strokes. Many people think shemp died since curly replaced him however, curly replaced him because shemp went on to work in other films. after culy suffered a dibilitating stroke in the mid 1940's shemp returned. He later died of a massive heart attack and was replaced by curly joe. Larry died next from a stroke followed by moe from lung cancer.
