Out of the Our Gang silent shorts that you have seen, which ones are your favorite? Which ones are your least favorite?
My favorites are The Champeen!, Giants Vs. Yanks, Circus Fever, Every Man For Himself, The Love Bug, The Mysterious Mystery, Thundering Fleas, Shivering Spooks, The Fourth Alarm, Saturday's Lesson.
My least favorites are mainly the MGM silent shorts. I'm not sure why, but their seemed to be something missing from them IMO.

This week I'd have to say The Glorious Fourth is my favorite silent  If I had to pick a least favorite, instead of episode or era, I'd pick the silent versions where all the inter titles were removed.  That bugs me more that a boring episode. |

I haven't seen too many silents, but of the few I have seen, I like 'Telling Whoppers' and 'Dogs of War'. I would love to see more of the silents.

I haven't seen too many silents, but of the few I have seen, I like 'Telling Whoppers' and 'Dogs of War'. I would love to see more of the silents. There is a big sized dupe/bootlegged set at Ioffer for about $25.00. It even has the old Pic Palace 100 foot transfer from One Wild Ride. They claim it is all PD but we know it is not. I'd say the quality on on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best, most of the collection is a 6 at best, less on some. Collectors disc set of the early Our Gang/Little Rascal comedies. There are 66 shorts in all, as follows: Disc 1 Young Sherlocks The Big Show Backstage Dogs of War July Days Big Business Disc 2 The Buccaneers Sundown Ltd. Ask Grandma Official Officers Mary Queen of Tots Shivering Spooks Disc 3 One Terrible Day A Pleasant Journey Fast Company (aka The Big Switch) High Society (aka Vickey's New Home) Shootin' Injuns Boys Will Be Joys Disc 4 Stage Fright (aka The School Play) Cradle Robbers Good Cheer (aka Christmas Episode) Love My Dog Tired Businessmen Chicken Feed (aka Monkey Magic) Disc 5 Dog Heaven Cat, Dog, and Co. Seeing The World Fourth Alarm Olympic Games Disc 6 Election Day Old Gray Hoss Noisy Noises Fire Fighters Rainy Days Barnum and Ringling Disc 7 A Quiet Street Derby Day Glorious Fourth Baby Clothes Uncle Tom's Uncle Crazy House Spook Spoofing Disc 8 Wiggle Your Ears Fast Freight Saturday's Lesson The Champeen Lodge Night Little Mother Disc 9 Monkey Business The Spanking Age Boys To Board (AKA The Boarding House) Saturday Morning Official Officers Giants Vs. Yanks Disc 10 The Big Town It's A Bear Seein' Things Commencement Day (AKA Little Red Schoolhouse) One Wild Ride (AKA Gimme A Ride) Mysterious Mystery Disc 11 Baby Brother Thundering Fleas War Feathers Dog Days Tire Trouble (AKA The Cure) Our Gang Quality varies but all the shorts are quite watchable. In some instances, they were edited for TV and contain different titles, but they are all Hal Roach's Our Gang. Collector to collector sale. Public domain work. Exchange for defective disc only. Plain all-region discs come in paper sleeves. Shipping $5.00 priority for US, 7.00 first class for abroad. |
