The Robonic Stooges is a Saturday morning animated series featuring
the characters of The Three Stooges in new roles as clumsy
crime-fighting cyborg superheroes. It was developed by Norman Maurer
and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions from September 10, 1977, to
March 18, 1978, on CBS and contained two segments: The Robonic Stooges
and Woofer & Wimper, Dog Detectives.The Robonic Stooges originally
aired as a segment on The Skatebirds from September 10, 1977, to
January 21, 1978, on CBS. When CBS canceled The Skatebirds in early
1978, the trio was given their own half-hour timeslot which ran for 16
episodes. This was the second animated series starring the Stooges,
following the 1965 series The New 3 Stooges.Moe, Larry and Curly are
junkyard-based superheroes who fight crime with their often
malfunctioning Inspector Gadget-style bionic powers and are given
assignments via film projector from their frustrated boss Agent 000
(pronounced "Oh-Oh-Oh") who runs the Superhero Employment Agency.Since
all of the original Three Stooges had died when production began (Moe
Howard and Larry Fine had both died in 1975, Shemp Howard died in 1955
and Curly Howard died in 1952), other voice actors were used to
impersonate them, mostly veteran voice actors from other Hanna-Barbera
productions. Paul Winchell voiced Moe, Joe Baker voiced Larry, and
Frank Welker voiced Curly (Welker had previously used his Curly
impression for the titular character in Jabberjaw). Unlike cartoon
series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, The Robonic Stooges did
not contain a laugh track.
