I love this! I've always been a huge 3 Stooges fan, and I remember when this cartoon first came on. Watch Robonic Stooges Episodes at TVcrazy.net
Robonic Stooges wiki info
The Robonic Stooges was a 30-minute 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 secret agents 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").
Since all of the original Three Stooges were dead by this time (Moe Howard and Larry Fine having died in 1975) and replacement Stooges Joe DeRita and Paul Garner had agreed to disband the group, 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).
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, but the two animated shows are otherwise unrelated. (The Three Stooges also appear in two episodes of the 1972 TV series The New Scooby-Doo Movies.)
Robonic Stooges episodes occasionally can be seen between shows as interstitial segments on Boomerang.

Never been a fan of the cartoon, but nobody does comedy like the Three Stooges!
