In what ways have the kids/the programme impacted your life?

That's kind of a tough one. I loved EVERY episode where they would play with fireworks or firecrackers  Growing up in CA, in the 70's-80's, we would try things like what we saw on T.V. :-[and would get yelled at as the end result.......the firecracker scene and Alfalfa in two too young comes to mind  I also have some footage that would rival the destruction of Joe's Mom's fireworks stand in The Glorious Fourth.  But no one got hurt like in Choo Choo.  |

I can more or less say that I grew up with them.From the earlier shows with Jackie Cooper to the 1940s with Froggy.I even had a crush on Darla at that time, when I asked my mom about her she told me she did the singing for 'Chicken of the Sea'and that was how I learned that trivia.My childhood was kinda like that.In school,on the playground and the friends I played with.We pretty much got ideas from watching The Little Rascals(and sometimes The Three Stooges)that made my earlier years enjoyable

I just started watching them this year. I now want to be a film historian. I was looking through my mom's old movie book for anything I could find on them, and found everything else on movies. Our Gang is still my obssesion, though. I used to watch Three Stooges after church on Sundays ( lets have a Stooge Fest!!)

When I started watching Little Rascals when I was 11, I too wanted to be a film historian, but that changed as I got older.

Yeah I guess The Little Rascals are the #1 film series. Nothing else is ever so interesting. Except the Stooges, but they have sentimental value, I used to watch with my Dad. part of my complete childhood. But the rascals have WAAAYY better hairdos than Larry.

A show lasting 22 years, what was going on behind the scenes and how they were made can really get you interested in the series. When I got the 1992 book for the first time for Christmas of 1995, I was OBSSESSED!..... which is ok for an 11 year old.  |

The book isn't always as easy for an 11-15 year old to read because it was written for adults. It's intelligently written with quite a few big words.

As a kid, strictly because they were funny and I never really disliked any of the kids. Even the bullies. Now that I have my own little rascals, I like that there is no foul language, nothing too adult, and I enjoy hearing my kids laugh!

Now when I see some kid crying for no reason I do not think of them as being brats now I see them as being them. Did that sound corney? :-\
