Plot


The Stooges receive news that their roommate and friend Bill (Frank Mitchell) has gotten married. They will soon be moving out of the house so that Bill's new wife can move in. As a favor of gratitude, the Stooges decide to install Bill's brand new television antenna. The project goes into chaos, however, when they eventually destroy the home.

When Bill's new wife (Maxine Gates) comes home to see the mess, all hell breaks loose, and Bill is single as quickly as he had gotten married. In a fit of anger, Bill takes out his aggression on his roommates.


Cast



Production notes


Goof on the Roof was filmed on November 17–19, 1952. Although the original short is released as full-screen for TV38. It is a remake of 1949's Let Down Your Aerial with Wally Vernon and Eddie Quillan and 1930's Hog Wild with Laurel & Hardy.[1]

This was the last original Stooge short written by Clyde Bruckman. His name would appear in future productions, however, when reworked films featured stories which Bruckman contributed to.[1]


Shemp's mild stroke


Shemp Howard suffered a mild stroke less than two weeks after the filming for Goof on the Roof had been completed. He recovered from it quickly enough by the time production commenced in April 1953 on the Stooges' next film, Income Tax Sappy.
