Water. Who was the Curly Joe DeRita of the Our Gang? Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, who was actually middle aged and rather portly in real life, although he made Spanky do "woo woos" for him! Cleverly disguised, wasn't he? Who was the Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard of the 'Our Gang'?

Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard. They did that bit where they kneeled and put little shoes on their knees.
Oh, what must my wife think of me now?

She IS the football. I thought we went over this?
Well, what are we: men, or mice?

You've killed five mice in the last two days, with your petting, not to mention that poor family of Rabbits! Why didn't OF MICE AND MEN feature any 'Our Gang' guest shots?

Must... resist urge... to answer... with dark sense of humor...
Uhhh... by this point in their careers, the Our Gang kids weren't entertaining enough to appear in a good film.
Phew, dodged a bullet there. Unlike that Lennie guy... d'oh! I mean...
What was the most depressing Our Gang short from the Hal Roach era?

Mary, Queen of Tots - It was so sad seeing that poor governess being taken away unjustly to the funny farm, most likely forever losing her job she was so good at. Lots of depressing scenes, such as the boys never finishing their game with the knife, Mary losing her dolls, and that throw rug taking such a beating by being slipped repeatedly, and it all culminates with the governess who you have to feel sorry for.
Where is your motive power?

Where is your motive power? What on Earth does a Canadian crime show have to do with 'Our Gang'? Get your mind outta this "Save The Day" era! What is the most upbeat MGM era 'Our Gang' short?

"Little Miss Pinkerton." It sure made me want to beat up someone... Oh, "upbeat." Er... I don't know, one of those musical shorts.
What was the most musically musical Our Gang film?

It wasn't really an 'Our Gang' film, but a local imitation that was shot at a Bean Festival during the not so silent, but still deadly era! What might have an animated 'Our Gang' series produced at Warner Brothers looked like?

Well, they'd all be talking animals...
What would an animated 'Our Gang' series produced by Hanna-Barbera in the 60's looked like? (Note: This was the era of Yogi Bear, Space Ghost, and the like...)

If you're talking early '60s, Spanky and Alfalfa would have five o'clock shadows, and all of the kids would be voiced by Daws Butler. If you're talking mid-'60s, lots of dramatic closeups and a monkey sidekick. Narration by Gary Owens.
Now what if Disney had done an Our Gang cartoon?

It'd focus more on Alfalfa and Darla, they'd sing a WHOLE lot, and there'd be cute talking animals involved somehow.
Hey, are we gonna trust this guy with all our money?
