I have only 18 and I live in Guanajuato México, recently I saw The Little Rascals and I think is the best comedy I have ever seen in my short life, and sincerely Mr. George Mcfarland was to become in my idol, the biggest example to follow, one of the things I now wish more than anything is to know him, although that was always impossible, but hopefully and eventually we get to see somewhere, meanwhile I will follow in his footsteps as a good person, the best
I grew up watching Spanky and the Little Rascals. Loved every show. I just viewed these clips on YuTube for the first time, and I haven't had a good laugh in such a long time. Thank yu for posting The Little Rascals. Spanky was the greatest! Ms. Amanda, you did have a great older brother.....he is missed.
he was adorable and amazing both! I was looking for the episode where he was bug-hunting with a hammer. I wanted to find at least a clip to show some of my young friends what great child actors are and what great memories I grew up with.
@hussnfussel7 Let's all raise our glasses and toast the greatest childhood star that ever lived....the one, the ONLY.....Spanky! Oh and let's not forget he was the cutest as well. One day we'll all be helping him and Dickie and Stymie make another one of their special cakes in that big kitchen in the sky. And remember to separate the three eggs and beat em, and roll in the flour, and set on stove until you're well done, LOL Love ya', Spanky!!!
i love the little rascals, i saw a episode a long time ago about a caveman that escaped from the circus but i forgot wat it was called, cud someone please tell me.
MET4LARM, I believe you're thinking about the wild man from Borneo. Look around on youtube. I think there's a small clip around here somewhere. Hilarious stuff!
You know, my Dad's baby picture looks just like Spanky when he did his first screen play, his famous words were "I'm bug huntin'!" We used to tease my Dad, he really was even cuter than Spanky. My Dad was born in 1937, he loved the Little Rascals, I watched them growing up and now my neices and nephews watch them! I have every one ever made on cassette. Would love to transfer them to DVD!
le piccole canaglie erano dei bei filmati per me e penso che sono anche per gli altri e sono anche adesso aaa se li mostrassero anche adesso questi filmati invece di vedere quelle stronzate di adesso.
I always say If I had a little baby boy I would name him Spanky. He was the absolute cuttest baby. My most favorite scene was , well they all were of him. lol. He was a gift from God to the world. He lives forever in our hearts.
Talk about tears - Spanky was my oldest brother and it was one of the greatest guys one could ever meet. Biggest heart you ever saw - loved kids and spent the last part of his life doing celebrity golf tournaments to help kids in need. Whoever did this, thank you so very much. I believe it to be the best Christmas present I will receive this year.
@amandamcfarland I saw Mr. McFarland once, shortly before he passed away. I am a firefighter near where he lived in Texas, and he passed by a fire we had been fighting. When it dawned on me who I was looking at, I threw both arms up and he just grinned this huge grin and nodded to me. That was a very special moment for me. I will always treasure it.
@amandamcfarland I was hoping you could help me w/ the name of the episode(must have been one of Spnky's first - I think he had the same costume as in this video@1:20) where Spanky keeps talking of an "itty bitty monkey". You could see the attraction to him early on. I really liked the "REMARKABLE"episode where Spanky tells the kid "for the love of Pete SAY IT !" We got Cable TV in the mid 70's and always watched these before school. Great memories!
@amandamcfarland I think i loved Spanky the best although they were all great but he was the cutest kid ever, Amanda you were blessed to have such a brother as kind as he was.
One day we shall all be together with our loved ones, Happy New Year To you ma'am and God bless always
@amandamcfarland Thank you so much for having a great brother like Spanky. Just watching these videos really bring back a lot of great memories when I was a kid and use to watch the Little Rascals before going off to
school! Viewing "Spanky" as a little baby really had me laughing this evening, and I haven't had a good laugh in awhile!
@amandamcfarland i worked at dallas ft worth airport in 1982 and remember seeing george sitting in the lounge area, i walked over to him and very quietly thanked him for the many years of enjoyment he gave me over the years, he was simply a gentle man and that encounter lives with me today and forever
@amandamcfarland I can just hear Spanky as he crossed over into the next life...the ol' devil stuck his head around the corner and Spanky said, "NO WILD MAN IS GONNA EAT ME UP!!" Then God took Spanky's hand and led him right on into Heaven...and if you listen close enough, you can HEAR that unmistakeable "SPANKY LAUGH!" He's having a big ol' time!! WHAT A MAN! WHAT HAPPINESS HE GAVE & LEFT US ALL! My 7 year old's favorite is "The Wild Man from Borneo" " YUM, YUM EAT "EM UP!" Great Video!
This was very beautiful and sad at the same time. Spanky was my fav lil rascal. I remember when they announced on the news back in 93 about his death. he reimnds me so much of my lil brother.
The Musical Score Is Wonderful. Spanky Was Always A Handsome Character. Thank you for compiling this footage so that I can share it with my 8 year old Nephew.
From the inception of the Little Rascals/OUr Gang never has a gang of kids brought more happiness & a sense of what is right & wrong in these shorts by Hal Roach. I watched them in the 50s' till now. They never get stale & there is always something new that you hadn't see before. I've only recenly have been introduced to the Rascals before sound. With/without sound the Rascals will pull a laugh out of any ole Scrooge. These kids were unique in the world and after 80 years they lift us up.
Spanky, you were a big part of the film soundtrack of my life. Will never forget you and the rest of the rascals.

@amandamcfarland Not to mention that he also spent a lot of his adult life fighting to make sure that his fellow Rascals
were never cheated out of anything that was owed to them. Their cause was his, and he took it up gladly.
Both as a child and as an adult, "Spanky" McFarland was one individual you would be proud to call "Pal."
