Production notes
In the opening sequence of a three-minute, live-action wraparound, the Three Stooges are working as zoo attendants. Moe sends Larry and Curly Joe to clean the elephant's pen. When they leave, Moe plays a game of checkers with a chimp (and loses!). When Moe gets to the elephant's pen, he finds Larry and Curly Joe sitting at a table drinking lemonade while the elephant sweeps its own pen (holding the broom with its tail). In the closing sequence, the Stooges wash the elephant, spraying each other with the water hose in the process.
Plans to animate such other comedians as the Marx Brothers and Jack E. Leonard were shelved.
The release date for all 156 cartoons is considered fall 1965, as that is the delivery date by syndicators to the stations. According to an advance trade ad by Heritage Productions, the series was sold to 37 major markets in 30 days.
