Mickey and Stinky were originally supposed to run for President of the Little Scorpions Club. It was a recycled script with the names changed and all of the jokes scribbled out. In MELODIES OLD AND NEW, instead of football uniforms the Gang was originally trying to raise money for ______________________________________ - Better scriptwriters, but that was quickly put a stop to, of course! - Their "Bring Back Darla!" campaign. Same end result as the above! In FARM HANDS (1943), instead of getting stuck in bales of hay, ___________________ happened to the gang.

ALFALFA'S DOUBLE (1940) wasn't originally supposed to feature a double for Alfalfa but for ______________________.

In DUEL PERSONALITIES, Alfalfa was originally going to be hypnotized into thinking he was _______________________________ - Future TV Talk Show Host Phil Donahue, which was really strange, considering he was a 4 year old unknown at the time! - Future singer of The Monkees Davy Jones, which was even stranger, considering he wasn't even born yet! Still, just imagine Alfalfa crooning "Daydream Believer"! In GOOD BAD BOYS (1940), the crime that Alfalfa was to be originally accused of was ___________________________.

In WEDDING WORRIES, the Gang was originally going to disrupt the wedding by ____________________________________ An impromptu showing of LITTLE MISS PINKERTON. However, it was never used, on the grounds that the scriptwriters were unable to extrapolate a happy ending with that plot device! Speaking of LITTLE MISS PINKERTON (1943), instead of a murder, ______________ was to have been committed, instead.

Though this idea had "horse" sense, it was unfortunately, slightly ahead of its time, and MGM refused to "endorse" it! Instead of a Showboat, Spanky was originally to be a/the "Captain" of ___________________.

In ALL ABOUT HASH (1940), the food that Mickey complains about was originally supposed to be ___________________________________.
