The Three Stooges: All the World's a Stooge presents seven classic episodes of the The Three Stooges, dating between 1937 and 1946. The episodes here are "Grips, Grunts and Groans" (1937), "All the World's a Stooge" (1941), "3 Dumb Clucks" (1937), "Three Little Pirates" (1946), "Uncivil War Birds" (1946), "Back to the Woods" (1937), and "Violent Is the Word For Curly" (1938). Whether this is the best-ever collection of Stooges' episodes is really best left to the individual fan. Some fans might prefer episodes on other Stooges DVD collections. The sound and picture quality of the episodes are very good, especially considering the age of the material. Like other editions in the Columbia Pictures series, there's the usual speck and grain associated with the television broadcast of the episodes, as well as some audible hiss, but neither of these issues detracts from the zany onscreen antics. The box art shouts "Special Features!" but then lists only digitally mastered audio and video, episode selections, full-screen presentations, three languages, and various subtitle options as special features. The seven episodes are selectable over two "Episodes" screens, which act as the scene-selection menu system. Every episode is thus a chapter, and not broken up any further. The menus are professionally polished and indicative of the quality production of the DVD. Though there's no supplemental material of merit, the overall quality here is really quite high. The Three Stooges: All the World's a Stooge is a fine presentation of these seven slapstick misadventures.
