They weren't kids, they were fidgets!
(I take it you're a fan of Gilbert's podcast, no?)
Which "Our Gang" film has especially aged poorly?

The 1994 remake, which (in fairness) didn't so much "age" poorly, as kind of suck from the git-go. Poor in concept, worse in execution. (Seen Gilbert live dozens of times; a fan from way back). Who can turn the world on with a smile?

Gary Jasgur, obviously.
(Never been fortunate enough to see Gilbert live. Just remember that specific joke being brought up on the podcast once.)
Why didn't the Gang ever have a cat as an animal mascot?

The cats union were boycotting them for their use of dog-on-treadmill-chasing-cat-in-a-cage-fueled transportation.
Why didn't this ever catch on as an alternative fuel source?

...because of the concomitant overexpenditure of energy from the production of the inevitable accompanying Our Gang cat music.
Why did the silly plaint "I'm a taxpayer, and I want my money" seem to have such resonance in a dispute over lemonade, or for that matter in any context at all?

Because it's well known that all Lemonade Shop owners favor Tax Payers. It's also a little known fact that their only real purpose for existing is to put small Lemonade Stands "Out Of Buziness!"
What's with that Victrola blaring out patriotic music?

We’re at war, son. We need to keep our spirits up with patriotic music. That’s why I’m forcing every radio station in America to play this specially prepared record of America’s best hits - “The Star Spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful,” “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” “Lydia the Tattooed Lady,” the list goes on. Now be a good citizen and buy war bonds.
The bonds?! The bonds are on that kite?!

No, whooping crane. It's attacking Tommy Bond. He's still tied to the kite.
Who will save him now?

Why did Wheezer drop the "h" and become a rock band?

Because he didn't want to be President.
Would you rather be a punk blacksmith or a streetcar conductor who picks up the nickels?

Grand Sachem of The Secret Order Of The Winking Eye, of course.
What exactly IS Puddin Tane, or, more specifically, Tane?

Remember, Wheezer told us, “Tane enough, call later.” He clearly meant he had enough pudding, and didn’t wish to be bothered for the next few hours.
What did the Keystone Kops think of the Rascals’ volunteer police department in “Official Officers”?

They were so appalled they filed a 42 USC 1983 civil rights action in the USDC, Central District of California.
Since Gus Leonard aka Ol' Cap was born in France, why did he not explain to his beloved charges toward the end of Mush & Milk that "porridge" was in fact... mush?
