"Curly's trademark excited yelps of 'woob woob woob,” his dog barks, his compliant “Soitenly,” and his brisk face washes (where he is excited and smooths his hands up and down over his face, briskly, over and over) were loved- and happily expected- by his legions of fans.

Curly was what Moe called a "slow study,” meaning he simply couldn't remember lines very well. One day, Moe watched as Curly forgot his line in a scene. As Moe recalled, "his eyes rolled back, he fell on the floor and started spinning around like a top." And thus, the “Curly spin" was born........."

I remember as a kid, watching the reruns. I loved Curly, Shemp was okay, and if it was Curly Joe, I turned it off and did something else.

Well, Curley Joe had an unenviable job...a thankless job really. He could never take the place of the real Curly...impossible.
