Despite their lukewarm reception, the Besser shorts did have their comedic moments. In general, the remakes had the traditional Stooges knockabout look and feel, such as 1958's "Pies and Guys" (a scene-for-scene remake of "Half-Wits Holiday", which itself was a reworking of the earlier "Hoi Polloi"), "Guns a Poppin" (1957), "Rusty Romeos" (1957) and "Triple Crossed" (1959). In contrast, "Hoofs and Goofs", "Horsing Around" and "Muscle Up a Little Closer" (all 1957) mostly resembled the sitcoms of the era. "A Merry Mix Up" (also 1957) and "Oil's Well That Ends Well" (1958) are also amusing, while the musical "Sweet and Hot" (1958) deserves some credit for straying from the norm. The American space craze also led to three entries focusing on space travel: "Space Ship Sappy", "Outer Space Jitters" (both 1957) and "Flying Saucer Daffy" (1958).
