7:42 and on, sure shows why little Spanky got the job. I particularly remember his priceless delivery in this scene. You can't teach that. He was never cuter.

[slmacph]

Didn't Spanky go on, decades later, to guest star on "Cheers"?

[LisaDawnn]

@ 8:01---- How many children have crows-feet when they laugh like Brisbane had? Hmmmmmm, now I wonder if he really WAS a dwarf! Spanky was a natural. How was he able to memorize his lines at such a young age? Just adorable!!

I mean dead now!

[krdragon6950]

The sad thing EVERYONE in this special is DEAD on.

0:43 when June Marlowe starts to laugh is such a great moment, I had to rewind it several times,  she was so beautiful

[lexi3570]

when spanky was very young he was funny ...... when he was older .... he stunk!

[lexi3570]

too bad brisbane (mccomas) wasn't in more skits .... i think he was extremely funny talking tough like he did ....... he was very good in front of the camera

Spanky was the most popular?

When I was a kid in the 70's Alfalfa was the most popular,

[Ileana105]

@level242 - I always preferred Spanky's character over Alfafa's. I always thought of Spanky as more popular than Alfafa, especially b/c it came before and when I was watching re-runs of Our Gang/Little Rascals in the early to mid 70's. I thought he was the most funniest especially during his really young years.

Mrs Crabtree was hot.

[DRUMTOY2000]

@kb7254 : Hellz yeah, she was!!!

[kb7254]

On the questions of how they remeber the lines, I believe they just gave them a scenario and let the kids just talk while the camera rolled.

[torie89]

[muck4doo]

[billyslo87]

7:23 is one of my favorite parts with Spanky. He was really cute there.

[langtongirl]

Spanky is my favourite rascal of all time.

[bobbymarsh1]

Can someone explain how the hell these lil kids remember those lines especially spanky

[thanhbites]

Stymie looks the same .

[MetalHeart8787]

@TheIchigorock he says - the little bittie Airplane had iddie bittie wheels &  a little bittie Tail & & & the the flap bottom, flap bottom Broke.

- its hard to understand him because he was about 3 here & he could not really

even talk yet But it made it cute so they like it when he would mumble & talk nonesense.

[Knk4891]

Wheezer is so cute in that scene with Miss Crabtree!

[juliejazz]
