Spanky was loved and is missed by millions. He was genuine class. Lots of child actors become loathsome little jerks. This guy had his feet on the ground and that's a rare thing today for anyone in show biz.
What a refreshingly humble demeanor from someone who was once a child actor. Not too many of those former child actors make it out of Hollywood with their feet on the ground.

harrytuttle100: Only the first 13 colonies, a small portion of what the USA is today had anything to do with your tiny and divided island called England, the disunited kingdom. How can you insult an innocent child actor like George "Spanky" McFarland you brute and ignorat psychopath bloke? You are a disgrace to England.

all americans are is the waste afterbirth of england...just look at the state of your nation...5 % of your countrymen are in prison....you have the highest sucicide rate in the western world....what a shit country
I never said the United States was "great" ... but when you "diss" Spanky McFarland, you show your ignorance and "diss" YOURSELF, you crumpet eating poof!
omg! that's my great great grandfather my mom always talks about him so i typed in hes name and this is what came up im so happy to see him for the first time
Those were the best shows. Nothing like this on TV nowadays...everything is sex violence and sex. I hate todays message to our kids. Hollywood has become a pusher of crap!.
Spanky did an ad for Justin Boots, as the Justin family were personal friends. Spanky was my oldest brother and I have just discovered these videos on You Tube. He was a wonderful man with a great big heart who loved kids. I miss him so very much.
Spanky was the best, I can remember The little rascals from the time I was five, I have every episode now. One of my favorite episodes is "Divot Diggers" I watch atleast three times a week
It was for Children's Church. We filmed this short-film thing for the church and it was like a modern-day version of The Little Rascals. So the leaders rented A Little Rascal video and it had Hook and Ladder on it. This was about 5 years ago. :)
Poor Pete was poisened by an asshole on the set crew. Later years Darla had some guys beat the piss out of him dry.

You wait until YOU'RE almost 60 years old and let's see how YOU look.
Besides, you're just jealous that, though he's been dead for 16 years, he did something so long ago that STILL matters to millions of people ...
... unlike a worthless turd like YOU, who will undoubtedly live your pitiful life and then die without having meant ANYTHING to ANYONE ...

I was there and took this video with a big VHS. And, good observation! Yes, Goober was the "host" or "emcee", of sorts.
