Thankfully only a few Our Gang shorts are missing. But let's say that there was some cataclysmic event that destroyed all of the shorts except for one year/season. Which year/season would you want saved? The series ran from 1922 - 1944.

If you include the two-year animated series, I would prefer to see the 1982 episodes because of the broader variety than in 1983. But since the subject focuses on Black and White episodes, I would rather see the 1939 episodes just to see "Captain Spanky's Show Boat."

Interesting question. I'm going with 1923.

Although I really like Jack Davis, Harry Spear and Alfalfa I'm not going to pick any of the years in which any of them were in the Gang. I'm not even going to pick 1934, which featured Tommy Bupp's only Our Gang appearance. Instead I'm going to pick.... 1942-43   |

1930-31, mostly for TEACHER'S PET, SCHOOL'S OUT, and one of of my personal favorites, LOVE BUSINESS. CHEERS! |

As some have already indicated, it makes more sense to look at this question in terms of "seasons" rather than straight years, since cast changes came in the interval (June-August) between them.
Based on this, I also have to pick 1930-31. A great run between Pups Is Pups and Fly My Kite. Besides the great cast and some very exciting (and very funny) plots, this run coincides with the introduction of LeRoy Shield's incomparable background themes.
While I like the cast from the 1933-35 run, there is a better concentration of great films in the 1930-31 season.

IMO, Pups Is Pups is the greatest Our Gang short.
But, that said, I'd take '32... fidgets, Free Wheeling, weep-wah cake, "I wish I had a monkey...", etc.
Basically agree with dchord; 30-33 was the pinnacle.
