When did the first Three Stooges episode air?
While the Stooges were making the two reelers they only were shown in movie theatres and not on television. It was not until after they ended their contract with Columbia, after the 1958 season, that Screen Gems bundled their two reelers into packages and sold them to television stations. Station KTTV in Los Angeles is believed to have bought the first package and began airing them in 1959.
