The Little Rascals	comment	Hal Roach created this series of short comedy films in the 1920s. During the silent years (1922â€“29), Roach tried such series names as Hal Roach's Rascals, but since the first short was titled Our Gang, moviegoers began to call them the "Our Gang Comedies", and that name soon became official. The series moved to sound just prior to the onset of The Great Depression. In 1938 Roach sold the series to its distributor Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a move which is generally regarded by fans as the start of the series' Seasonal Rot period. The child cast changed almost annually until the series ended in 1944.It is said that Roach got the idea for the comedies that revealed the world as seen from a child's point of view after hearing through his office window some children in a lot next door arguing over some discarded scraps of wood they were trying to split up for salvage.MGM sold the films back to Roach in 1949 but retained the rights to the Our Gang name. Thus, when Roach packaged the films for television syndication in the mid-'50s, the series was retitled The Little Rascals, leading to a certain amount of Title Confusion over the years.A revolving cast of child stars came and went throughout the course of the series. Among the better-known personalities were George "Spanky" McFarland, Matthew "Stymie" Beard, Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, Eugene "Porky" Lee, Tommy "Butch" Bond, and Darla Hood. Cast members who went on to adult acting careers (some shorter than others) include Ernest "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, Scotty Beckett, Matthew Beard, Dickie Moore, Carl Switzer, Tommy Bond, Robert Blake, Jackie Cooper, and Dorothy Dandridge.Part of the reason why the series is remembered even to this day is that it showed black and white (in both senses of the term) children playing together as equals, which was more or less unheard of for films of its day. Hal Roach was actually planning to make a whole series out of Ernie Morrison, one of the first black child stars in Hollywood, but when distributors said it wouldnâ€™t fly, he put Morrison in the Our Gang films alongside Allen Hoskins as Farina and the white child actors for the rest of the group. From then on, every iteration of the series had at least one black child, who in the shorts got to play with their white counterparts, eat in the same places as them, and even go to school with them! This is not to say that racial humor wasnâ€™t ever used (see below), but the casting was radical enough that Southern theaters often complained or outright refused to show the series.Derivative works: The earliest issues of The Dandy in the late 1930s featured a Comic-Book Adaptation of Our Gang, drawn by legendary comics artist Dudley Watkins. General Spanky, actually an Our Gang feature film from 1936. After it fared poorly at the box office Hal Roach went back to using the characters in shorts exclusively. Dell Comics published a 12-issue Little Rascals comic book series from 1957 to 1962. It featured Spanky and Alfalfa, along with some original characters. The cover of the first issue featured an unnamed girl who was probably intended to be Darla Hood but bore a greater resemblance to Dorothy DeBorba. A series of clay-animated Little Rascals Color Specials, produced for television in the 1960s, presumably by Bura and Hardwick, the British studio responsible for Camberwick Green. A 1979 animated Christmas Special on NBC, whose voice cast included Matthew "Stymie" Beard and Darla Hood, as well as a series of public service announcements. A 1994 feature film, directed by Penelope Spheeris and released by Universal Pictures. It won Young Artist awards for no fewer than six members of the cast: Ross Bagley, Juliette Brewer, Bug Hall, Brittany Ashton Holmes, Travis Tedford and Kevin Jamal Woods. A direct-to-video sequel, The Little Rascals Save the Day, directed by Alex Zamm, released in April 2014.For the Saturday-Morning Cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1982, see this page.

This is somewhat fitting, since Hal Roach had planned to star Morrison in his own series. Some of the earliest entries focus attention on farm animals acting like humans, Ã la Hal Roach's Dippy Doo Dads series. The earliest talkies from 1929 - early 1930 move at a noticeably slower pace, and generally lack background music, solid dialogue delivery, and other aspects that became associated with the series.

The Little Rascals / int_c3ae004a	comment	Re-Cut: The film on DVD and VHS was actually trimmed down for time and content from the original theatrical release (Universal had done this to other films, including Ghost Dad and Problem Child 2). The extended edit broadcast on TV is actually the original theatrical cut with the scenes that were taken out for the home video release, although that version also edits a few scenes out for content or language (the girls referencing that boys like "fighting and farting" as an example of grossness is one bit trimmed from TV airings).

The Little Rascals / int_f1d3f0c9	comment	Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Waldo did this a lot, as did Uh-huh, as revealed at the end of the movie, though Uh-huh is actually a case of Brilliant, but Lazy, as he explains that while he may have an extensive vocabulary, he just chooses not to use it.

The Little Rascals / int_f6d6a1c2	type	Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now?
The Little Rascals / int_f6d6a1c2	comment	Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now?: Typical with most series focusing on kids, several episodes show the kids out of school. On rare occasions, this is justified: July Days, Boys Will Be Joys, and Wiggle Your Ears reference Summer vacation. Ask Grandma mentions a two week vacation (according to the silent film title card, the kids could bear the shock if the vacation lasted two years). Several episodes take place on a Saturday.

The Little Rascals / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Something going wrong whenever Alfalfa sings. Farina's (and later Buckwheat's) hair raising whenever he gets scared. Stymie's unseen father getting arrested. Wheezer blowing a raspberry. Froggy's earliest episodes would throw in jokes about his voice. Froggy frequently retelling old sayings from his relatives.

The Little Rascals / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Alfalfa spends the majority of the movie as a bit of a wimp, preferring trying to talk his way out of fights and/or simply running away. But then, after all the trouble he was put through during the movie, including the harrowing go-cart race and winning back Darla's heart, Butch and Woim make the mistake of trying to confront him one last time:

The Little Rascals / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: In "Small Talk", when Farina gets passed for adoption while his other friends get adopted into a new home, he goes off alone and breaks down in tears, with Petey showing up to comfort him. By chance, the house the other kids are adopted into has a black maid, who takes pity on Farina and adopts him on the spot.
