What a great piece to add to the Stooges!

This hilarious bit was a great idea by AMC to promote "NYUK" - New Yuk University! With the professor of Stoogeology: Leslie Nielsen. He was great as the professor, and the guest appearances by Dan Lauria (famous for being the wonder years dad) and Carrot top were great. The Anna Nicole intros were not good at all but the various comedic bits that Leslie would lead were the best. And then the little things that those who study and appreciate comedy will find hilarious: The gorilla in the classroom, the constant calling on "Johnson" as a student, and the simple writing on the blackboard with notes, facts, and even "punishments" (Written over and over: I will watch the Stooges on AMC) !! The trivia bits were nice; I wish Leslie and Co. would have dolled out more trivia for a lot of the die hard fans who tuned in. I'm glad I recorded these from TV with a VHS tape back when this was on from 2000-2002, because they are a treat to watch whenever I want to see the stooges again! They did way more than just "ten" intros like stated in another review. They were very worth it, right down to the classroom set and classic Leslie antics. Enjoy!
