I've known of the Little Rascals AKA Our Gang comedies/Spanky and Our Gang for as long as I can remember, but as far as I know, I had never seen any until a friend lent me several tapes a few months ago. I found them charming and entertaining. That said, there is a great fluctuation in quality from show to show. VCR #19 contains one of the very best, "Our Gang Follies of 1936," the old "let's put on a show" shtick. The series included several of these, and this is the best I've seen. A few ringers, professional kid entertainers, are always included, but it's the work of the regulars, particularly crooner Alfalfa and impresario Spanky, that makes them fun. This tape also includes "Shrimps for a Day," one of many plots in which the gang battles, and inevitably triumphs over, a mean adult. If you're a hard core fan, one of the DVD packages is probably your best bet. If you'd like to just check out a few selections, these 4-episode video tapes are a great low-cost way to find out what all the fuss is about.
