For the sake of argument, I'll grant that it's not the best show, even by what's acceptable by Saturday morning standards. The mindset is that because it's by Hanna-Barbera (animated at their Australian outlet), then by default it's a terrible show.

It now airs as short features at the end of selected shows on the Boomerang channel. However, the Stooges was the most watched part of the show (airing twice each week), so in January of 1978, CBS gave them their own half hour, retitled 'The Three Robonic Stooges,' which would resurface on CBS two more times. It's a lot to keep track of, so here is a timeline of the major career and personal developments of the six Three Stooges.The Robonic Stooges was indeed on CBS it was a segment of the live-action series 'The Skatebirds' (1977). Moe and Fine were always there, but four different stooges occupied the third slot, with changes necessitated by family tragedies, business considerations, or both. Under that name, they were active on the silver screen from the 1930s to the 1960s, with several personnel changes along the way. With another Howard brother, known to the world as Curly, the newly-christened Three Stooges became household names. Money, and Healy's unstable behavior, drove Shemp out of the act, and later broke the Stooges off entirely. When Larry Fine was added three years later, they became Ted Healy and his Stooges, with the standard routine being the Howards and Fine destroying whatever earnest performance Healy tried to deliver.

According to Britannica, the act began when Samuel and Moses Horwitz - stage names Shemp and Moe Howard - joined forces with Moe's pal Ted Healy for a vaudeville comedy act in 1922. Not that there were ever more than three stooges at a time, at least in a professional sense.
