THE LITTLE RASCALS COLLECTORS SET COMPLETE TV SERIES

The very first "Gang" in 1922 consisted of Allen "Farina" Hoskins (the black kid), Mickey Daniels (all-American freckle-faced boy), Joe Cobb (the fat kid), Mary Kornman (the pretty girl), and Pete the dog (with a thick, black circle painted around his right eye).

As the kids grew up they were replaced by a younger crop, including: Jean Darling, Jackie Cooper, Tommy "Butch" Bond, Darla Hood, Darwood "Waldo" Kaye, Robert "Wheezer" Hutchins, Mary Ann Jackson, George "Spanky" McFarland, Dickie Moore, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, Norman "Chubby" Chaney, William "Buckwheat" Thomas, Matthew "Stymie" Beard, and Mickey Gubitossi (aka Robert Blake) among many others.

Viewed from the perspective of today"s over-indulgent parents and their ridiculously pampered offspring, these films take on a whole other layer of humor.

In the early productions the kids were often portrayed as orphans and neglected, dirt-scratching urchins roaming the neighborhood with unattended babies and an unleashed pit bull. While avoiding the police and truant officers attempting to coral them into school, the gang was frequently plagued by vagrants, burglars, carnival workers, larcenous circus midgets, snotty rich kids and drunken monkeys.

The early shorts weren"t pretty but the world was a harsh place during the depression. Stymie, Dickie, baby Spanky and the gang typically found their fun in dusty lots behind crummy looking outbuildings, railroad tracks, and the depressingly dilapidated shacks they lived in.

Fly My Kite, made soon after the series went from silent to talkies in 1929, illustrated perfectly the environment the kids inhabited. In the film, the Gang"s friend "Grandma" is being evicted to the Poor Farm by her no good son-in-law. She gives Chubby some "worthless bonds" for his kite that turn out to be worth a fortune, leading the kids to have to beat the crook half to death to get them back.

Fathers were more often than not presented as loudmouthed louts or prissy simpletons mothers were gold-digging flappers, argumentative and parentally uninvolved. That is, until one of the kids ends up at the bottom of a well ("Well, well, Spud fell in the well!") or the authorities show up.

These films were made for a different era, so there was some discussion in the 1950s as to whether scenes with bug-eyed, slow-talking Negroes would be appropriate for broadcast. But for every scene that might be considered offensive today there were dozens of examples of the racially mixed cast all getting along as equals they even went to school together. Their world was fully integrated while the real world was thoroughly segregated ethnicity just wasn"t an issue in the films..
