[crazy4fray]

I wish I could have seen this short! :))))

[jie3328]

Micky Rooney and Robert Blake Are two of the only golden age child actors alive today. Also are the police still looking for Bonny Lee Bakleys killer i heard there were a lot of possible suspects.

[PlayMicheal]

Yeah! I`ve got that, only it`s on tape. 2 or 3 of them. I got them for my daughter as well as myself. It`s still pretty funny at my age.

[jie3328]

Robert Blake is one of the only living our gang members. many died young.

[Sheri451]

He was only five when he made this, He got WAY better as the series went on.

[MandyxxMassacre]

"Dad! Dad! Zis Boom Bah!"

[RabidWolf40]

No he didn't that was not Blake

[TheKingofpizza]

As the show grew,so did Spanky.He looked liked Jackie Gleason near the end of the run !

[OurGangFan]

I never saw the Honeymooners!

[OurGangFan]

Why do people call Mickey an obnoxious whiny brat? That is so politically incorrect!

[JRSL1988]

Wanna know something bastards! I think you're all fucked in the heads! You can't see one goddamn thing in these shorts! Hell, Howard The Duck is the worst film of all time but it has a cult following! But you're all to fucking ignorant to like the MGM Our Gangs! It pisses me off! You people must of voted for George Dumbass Bush a few years ago! I just can't this shit anymore!

[JRSL1988]

HAIL MICKEY GUBITOSI!

[JRSL1988]

MGM Our Gang shorts aren't as different as Hal Roach's Our Gang. The fact is that each short is different. Because of different actors and actresses coming and going.

[nancyzeetoo]

Are you nuts?

The Roach-era shorts are far, far superior to the crap MGM cranked out. And Blake sucked as a kid actor. He sucked hard. Bobby Driscoll was one of the greatest child actors of all time. How dare you compare him to the likes of Mickey Gubitosi!

[JRSL1988]

I'M GONNA SOCK IT TO YOU!

[JRSL1988]

Bobby Driscoll is more memorable as a child actor than Mickey Blake is. If he was a member of Our Gang, his death would defiantly prove that there is a curse.

[JRSL1988]

I cast you out! Unclean Spirt! In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is he who commands you! It is he who flung you from the gates of Heaven to the depths of Hell! Be gone from this creature of God! Be gone! In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirt! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

[JRSL1988]

I have a theory that crime enhances beauty. The worst a crime gets the more ravishing one becomes.

[gymnastix]

Actually, some persons began calling the films "The Little Rascals" based on the TV packaging title. At least you stated correctly they were originally called "Our Gang."

There was also a 1960's pop group, Spanky & Our Gang, whose style resembled that of the folk-rock quartet of The Mamas & The Papas, having hits such as "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" & "Lazy Days."

[gymnastix]

In fact, the lead singer of the group was named Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane, who, after her "Gang" broke up, toured with a new line-up of "The Mamas & The Papas" (also featuring Papa John Phillips' daughter, actress MacKenzie Phillips), in the '80's, McFarlane singing Cass Elliot's old parts.

[gymnastix]

But as with the Stooges' shorts, when TV became a popular presence in the average American home in the late 1940's/early '50's, packages of old theatrical shorts (such as those of Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, Laurel & Hardy, etc.) were aired on local & network TV affiliate stations.

As such, the "Our Gang" shorts were packaged as "The Little Rascals," often aired on local kiddie personality shows along with cartoons, reruns of "Lassie," etc.

[gymnastix]

Actually, CHRISSLOAN, "Our Gang" was not a "TV show," but film shorts originally shown in movie theaters, as were "The Three Stooges" shorts and others, back in the day when one could watch a main feature and cartoons/shorts for the price of one theater admission.

[wdchefdave]

@gymnastix

I think that "Hal Roach" owned The Little Rascals... and MGM bought them and re-named them "Our Gang".

I could be wrong... but, I don't think so.

[JRSL1988]

Mickey's over-acting sad. No wonder he's been criticized for being unsubtle.

[JRSL1988]

But that doesn't mean he's a bad actor and I hate him!

[JRSL1988]

I'd sock it to anyone who down-voted my comment!

[soccergoalkeeper23]

he was so adorable!

[JRSL1988]

True, He's really underrated. Watch an Our Gang tribute on Youtube. He isn't included. One reason he's underrated is that the short were made by MGM instead by Hal Roach's studio. And the other reason is that his performance is unsubtle. I did see few of the short on AOL tv but it's really hard to watch them because I have to pause them every minute or I have to reload the page and watch it.

[ana7ana7ana]

OMG he's so cute,i wish people would drop the murder thing it's over.i like him anyway.he is a hell of a good actor,and he's funny.

[Doggchop]

If you listen closely he's saying: "I left my gun in the restaurant"..."and when I went back for it, someone shot my girl in the head". OH THAT ROBERT, fine actor, man he's good!

[JRSL1988]

He's actually saying this:

Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! East shit! Filth is my politics! Filth is my life!

[cadebra1961]

@Doggchop ahahaha - too f@ckin' funny!!

[Treemeadow]

whats he saying? Its cute..but I dont know what he is saying?

[believer06]

"I got no dad. You know. Now I guess I gotta let me out."

[JRSL1988]

That's the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard!

[A0G]
