I remember back in the early 1970s the YMCA would show the shorts on a projector

along with Laurel and Hardy. My favorite Little Rascals (Our Gang) shorts was with Jackie Cooper and Miss Crabtree.
Around 1983 CBN or TBS would show the shorts early in the morning.

I used to when I was a kid , and The Little Rascals frequently aired on television, in the '60's and '70's, before home video. Then many of the shorts were avalible on VHS. I don't notice that they show it on tv, anymore.
I now have The Little Rascals: The Complete Collection, and the WB's The Our Gang Collection (the shorts from 1938-45).

I watched them on the weekends on KTLA in Los Angeles back in the 80s-90s.

Sol, I assume you're talkig about channel 48. They also used to show them on weekday afternooms in the 60s, I remember watching them when I came home from school. And then in the 90s they used to show them again on weekday afternoons.

I did too back in the 70s it was on LA station UHF 56. I have them all on DVD now. I especially love the short. Our Gang Follies of 1938. The singing was pretty amazing for kids. Although I never thought Carl Switzer (Alfalfa) was a good singer. I did like Darlas singing.

I think Alfalfa's crooning was supposed to be a joke. I don't think anybody though he was really a good singer.

yea, it was supposed to be a joke. Part of it was that everyone thought he was a good singer.

Torgo · 12-12-2012, 10:17 AM
