Our Gang - Little Rascals Greatest Hits

Studio: Gaiam Americas Release Date: 08/13/2002 Product Description

Laughs....great!

Introduced my four year old grandson to the Rascals.....great laughs and got him away from the current rash of modern cartoon rubbish. The black and white thing was easy to get over because of the terrific content. We are still laughing at Spanky, Petey and their friends......and a great moral in every episode! Super value...

A Little Dark

The collection is ok, not as funny as I remembered, though the last time I saw them was 20 something years ago. The darkness of the picture (sometimes) was another thing. I don't know - maybe all the Little Rascal b&w versions are like this.

Also, seemed like there'd been cropping (?) - some of the letters in the opening titles, for example, are not visible.

On the other hand, for the price you can't complain too much. I don't know if these 6 shows are the "best" of the Little Rascals, or if they represent the same quality you'd find in larger collections, but it may be worth picking up something like this before spending more on a larger collection. Also, after watching these episodes I started thinking I should have bought the technicolor version (bright!). November 20, 2007

I like it but my kids... (7/12/07)

I like the Little Rascals/Our Gang but my kids haven't been interested in watching it yet because it's from "dinosaur times" and anything in black and white is like the plague to them but I haven't given up yet... One thing, there may be comments not acceptable in our current politically correct times but you have to take into account the views of the time and overlook them as things now long gone.

Nice selection of early Our Gang comedies

This inexpensive DVD presents the viewer with five great earlier Our Gang comedies.
The prints and transfer are fairly good, especially considering the age of these shorts.
Plenty of laughs and some tears here - "Fly My Kite" is touching, mixing both pathos and comedy.
"The Kid From Borneo" ("Yum, yum, eat 'em up!") is seldom seen anymore, probably due to its insensitive racial portrayals.
But if you judge this as a product of its time, there are plenty of laughs here. June 30, 2007

Little Rascals Greatest Hits are the Greatest

We got this so our kids could see it. They are 22 and 25 years old. They have never seen Yum Yum eat'em up! We laughed so hard we could have cried. Spanky and his laugh is the greatest. The other shows are great too, but be ordered this especially for Yum Yum. I highly recommend this for all ages. January 10, 2007
