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

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.

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

@ 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!!

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

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