that little smilling "Brown face" in the lower left. LOL

this was a Great show & scottie was ahead of his time with wearing his hat sideways.

& whos ever idea it was to have the Kids whites & Blacks go to school together.

IF they started that in the late 20's ther wouldn't have been problems later.

it was a great thing to treat the kids Equally. A True sense on what America was supposed to be.

Dorothy died at age 85 in June of 2010. I saw a program years ago where she said she was part black but way back then she "passed".

@MetalHeart8787 Very true! It's totally ridiculous how many people thought they were being racist in this series later when it was reshown on tv despite the african american actors saying themselves that is not true. If they had wanted to be racist they would not have shown the kids playing together without fighting.

Thank you, gigantically. oh Barclay, that donkey will always bite you.

Petee....both of them were American Pit Bulls. They worked very well with the children and I've NEVER heard of the Petee dog mauling one of the Little Rascals kids. This shows everyone that the breed is not as agressive as the owners teach them to be. They are very nice with children but today's owners breed them to be killing machines.

Yes, Alfie was indeed very misunderstood!
