3.0 out of 5 stars The video quality is fine
The four ten-minute shorts here vary from fairly charming (CLOWN PRINCES and ALFALFA'S AUNT) to mediocre (ALFALFA'S DOUBLE) to impressively awful (TIME OUT FOR LESSONS). The MGM Our Gang shorts aren't as good as those from the Hal Roach studio, but some of them are quite endearing. None of these are among them, as far as I'm concerned - THE BEST OF SPANKY and THE BEST OF...

3.0 out of 5 stars The video quality is fine, September 25, 2000
This review is from: Our Gang: Best of Alfalfa [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The four ten-minute shorts here vary from fairly charming (CLOWN PRINCES and ALFALFA'S AUNT) to mediocre (ALFALFA'S DOUBLE) to impressively awful (TIME OUT FOR LESSONS). The MGM Our Gang shorts aren't as good as those from the Hal Roach studio, but some of them are quite endearing. None of these are among them, as far as I'm concerned - THE BEST OF SPANKY and THE BEST OF BUCKWHEAT are both better collections - so I'd recommend this tape mainly to those of the series' devotees who feel they have to see everything.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair, April 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Our Gang: Best of Alfalfa [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This compilation is from the period after MGM took over production of the series from Hal Roach. At their best, the MGM shorts are a cut below the ones from the Roach studio. The scripts and direction are often poor, the newer cast members are less than talented, and even the series veterans often deliver their lines in a stilted, unconvincing fashion. MGM seems to have been unable to decide upon a direction for the series, alternating between comedy, song-and-dance productions (featuring many unknown performers), and outright moral preaching. This is not to say that they are all bad; in fact, some of them are fairly entertaining. They are just not up to the Hal Roach standard. So, enjoy them for what they are.
