The animated cartoons and the live action segments were all part of the same 30-minute time slot. These are listed here as being 156 episodes when, in fact, there are four in each episode, making a total of only 39 episodes of the series in total.
Actually, the 156 shorts are numbered individually, and any four of the shorts can be inserted in the 30-minute time slots. This yields well over 20 million possible "episodes".

Unlike the previous Cambria cartoons, which uses synchro-vox, this cartoon show did not have those. Instead, it not only uses traditional mouth animation on the characters but also providing live-action skits as well.
While the show had very good ratings, the Stooges in real life were too old to perform slapstick comedy well and instead their cartoon versions do. Moe was 68 and Larry was 63 at the time of the cartoon show's premiere.
