''The Robonic Stooges'' is a Saturday morning animated series featuring the characters of The Three Stooges in new roles as clumsy crime-fighting bionic 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 December 24, 1977, on CBS. When CBS canceled ''The Skatebirds'' in early 1978, the trio was given their own half-hour timeslot which ran for 16 episodes. ==The Robonic Stooges== Moe, Larry and Curly — are superheroes who fight crime with their special 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 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 impersonation 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. This was the second animated adaptation of the Three Stooges, the first being Cambria Studios' ''The New Three Stooges'' in 1965, which used the actual Stooges' voices. Norman Maurer, who was married to Moe Howard's daughter and had acted as the Stooges' agent during their lifetimes, worked on both series. The Stooges had previously appeared in another Hanna Barbera-created series: ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' (1972), this time as Moe, Larry and Curly-Joe. Though all three stooges were alive when this was produced, none were asked to supply the voice of their respective characters (as it was, Larry had suffered a debilitating stroke in 1970, which left his speech somewhat slurred); previous Stooge Joe Besser did voice characters in that series, but not any of the Stooges. ''The Robonic Stooges'' episodes were occasionally seen between shows as interstitial segments on Boomerang. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Robonic Stooges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
