The chronological series proved successful, and Sony wasted little time preparing the next set for release. "Volume Two: 1937–1939" was released on May 27, 2008, followed by "Volume Three: 1940–1942" three months later on August 26, 2008. Demand exceeded supply, proving to Sony that they had a hit on their hands. In response, "Volume Four: 1943–1945" was released on October 7, 2008, a mere two months after its predecessor. The global economic crisis slowed down the release schedule after Volume Four, and "Volume Five: 1946–1948" was belatedly released on March 17, 2009. "Volume Five" is the first in the series to feature Shemp Howard with the Stooges and the final volume to feature Curly Howard. "Volume Six: 1949–1951" was released June 16, 2009, and "Volume Seven: 1952–1954" was released on November 10, 2009. "Volume Seven" included 3-D glasses for the two shorts: "Spooks!" and "Pardon My Backfire". As of 2013, the 3-D versions of the two shorts in this volume have been removed. "Volume Eight: 1955–1959" was released on June 1, 2010. This was the final volume of the Stooges collection, bringing the series to a close. "Volume Eight" comprised three discs, and was the only volume to feature Joe Besser. With the release of the eighth volume, for the first time in history all 190 "Three Stooges" short subjects had become available to the public, uncut and unedited.
