4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best MGM OUR GANG collection, October 7, 2000

By	Pat Akela (USA) - See all my reviews

Hal Roach signed his OUR GANG series over to MGM in 1938 (later renaming his own OUR GANG works THE LITTLE RASCALS for TV); he might have reconsidered had he foreseen it taking such a nosedive. A lot of the post-Roach shorts are dire - the writing, acting, almost everything - and the majority are no more than mediocre...but anyone who gets their first exposure to the MGM entries via this tape will probably wonder why they get such constant flak.

They did a dandy job of separating the wheat from the chaff here. MEN IN FRIGHT (the kids' hospital adventure), GOING TO PRESS (their amateur newspaper story) and MIGHTY LAK A GOAT (their mishap with smelly chemicals) are winsomely funny. I don't personally like KIDDIE KURE (their encounter with a hypochondriac) as much, but I have to admit it's pretty good anyway. Buckwheat's role in each is not major, so the video title is a bit misleading, but better to see him supporting in these than starring in DON'T LIE. Overall, these films are a credit to the OUR GANG name, and I commend this and THE BEST OF SPANKY. And not much else, where the Metro period is concerned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where's Buckwheat?, November 15, 2001

By	Steven Martin (Garden Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To call this video "The Best of Buckwheat" is like calling Star Trek New Generation "The Best of Spock". Buckwheat is HARDLY featured on this video and was a huge disappointment. Save your money for something else. I don't know what to recommend for your Buckwheat fix, but this certainly isn't it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

Buckwheat is one of my all time favorite Our Gang comedy children. He is witty and funny and all around cute. This is another must see for all Our Gang comedy lovers at a great price!
