How can you not love a site that automatically plays “The William Tell Overture” as part of the opening of the long-running Lone Ranger radio series? Joe Southern, editor and publisher of The Silver Bullet newsletter, has taken the leap from—

For all things Stooge-related, this is an impressive one-stop resource, and a lot of fun to browse. There’s a detailed filmography and chronology, as well as lists of TV guest appearances, film & TV tributes (citing, for instance, every vintage cartoon in which the Stooges were caricatured), a bibliography, comicography, and videography (identifying the contents of many video compilations). Every entry is illustrated with—
