no,, once MGM took them ova, they fell off, an pretty much lost the endearing realism & honest humor we adored them for, they were so much better in the 20s & 30s,, they only lasted a few short yrs after this an then they were done for good,, i looooooooove the little rascals-our gang, they were the best kids television ever produced,,, but once the big hollywood machine got a hold of them, they pretty much lost their glitter, GODBLESS ALLLLL THE THE LIL RASCALS THEY WERE THEE BEST!!!!!
I sort of skip these, Stan Laurel was a great coach of the Spanky during the early years. By this time though it seemed the acting was more forced. It didn't have the flow of the Hal Roach years. I guess the actors comming and going with each short had something to do with it, but the writing wasn't very good and is it just me or. Did almost every MGM short have them doing a show? "What do we do? Hey, let's put on a show!" I call this the 'Milk Toast Years'.
I used to have a book about the Our gang by Leonard maltin. He didn't like Robert Blake. He always made snotty remarks about his acting. He liked darla Hood though.
How many Our Gang shorts were there in total? I know there were the silent ones, which are rare and not shown as much as the ones from the 1930s and 1940s. When did they begin the Our Gang shorts and when did they end it altogether? Any Our Gang historian care to answer these? Thanks.
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.

I like watching the entire talkie Our Gang shorts not because of humor but because it makes be want to be a kid again. But then if I was a kid I couldn't watch The Exorcist.
Well, people weren't black and white back then, just the movies/shows they made. So it makes since to have it in color, even if it's only techni-colored, its still great.
the lyrics can be heard clearly (for On a Sunday Afternoon) sang by Buddy Ebsen

Is the blonde tap dancer Marilyn or Janet?
KiriannasBoyARtisan 3 years ago
I can guess it's Marilyn, because Darla is in, and Janet wasn't in until after "Wedding Worries", Darla's last appearance.
KiriannasBoyARtisan 3 years ago
Janet is in this short. She's the little girl who stays onstage too long with her dancing partner during the final number.

If Billy Laughlin hadn't ridden his motor scooter, the one to have lived the shortest life would have been Norman Chaney. He died at the age of 18.
