Three Stooges - Goof On The Roof

[decojoe67]

I always considered that my favorite Stooges episode. Lots of laughs in that one and a storyline that's perfect for them to do their shtick with. I believe that cabinet is a complete prop with parts taken from various sets. Funny how they used an obviously bad CRT. I guess the budget didn't allow for a good one!

And/or in spite of all the accidents they have, they didn't want to risk an implosion. It's my understanding that those CRTs blow more violently than later color units.

I had a 7" electrostatic CRT implode on me in an Admiral set for no apparent reason. It was the sound of putting a hot glass pot under cold water followed by a hissing blast of air. I had no idea what it was at first, then I saw the nasty crack across the screen!
