As a kid, I watched an animated TV show where robotic versions of The Three Stooges fought crime. None of the original Stooges were still alive when this show was made; Frank Welker plays Curley. And: the show originally aired when I was two, meaning as a 12 year old I was seeing these cartoons 10 years after they were made… and 30 to 40 years after The Stooges heyday.

Who exactly thought this cartoon was a good idea? And who was this show made for?

I’m… confused for myself as a youth. What part of me really responded to a cyberpunk Three Stooges as a kid?

Weird.
