Synopsis
Syndicated television airing of almost all of the Our Gang shorts produced by Hal Roach that had sound. It had to be renamed because Roach had previously sold the rights to use the name Our Gang. The Our Gang series of short films began in the silent movie era in 1922, the first sound film was released in April 1929. Roach sold the series to MGM in 1938. That studio continued making new Our Gang shorts until production ceased in 1944.

I really don't know why Hal Roach is not always recognised as the genius he undoubtedly was. From 1922 to 1938 (when he handed the 'Our Gang' format to MGM and the whole thing immediately went downhill) Roach's studios churned out an astonishing stream of masterpieces (169 in all). The sheer inventiveness of these little films is amazing. And this inventiveness was unencumbered by political correctness and the desire (asserted under MGM) to teach the viewers a moral lesson (which always kills art). Boys like Mickey Daniels and Carl ('Alfalfa') Switzer were GIANTS. Their memory and their talent should last as long as the human race.
