This is a tough one.
My all time fav was Wheezer, when he was younger anyway. His last three or four appearances were a waste, he was getting way too old.
Also liked Mary, Stymie, Dickie, Wally, and Breezy in the two he was the lead.

Mickey Gubitosi is my favorite. Then Scotty Beckett, Bug Hall, Bobby Hutchins, Dickie Moore, Harold Switzer, Elmer Lowry, Courtland Mead, Alvin Buckelew and Jerry Tucker, in only very slightly descending order. After that the field really evens out, as there are so many that I like for a wide variety of reasons.

I'll have to be the unimaginative one and say Spanky. I even like him when he outgrew his toddler adorableness.

Yes, it's nearly impossible to have just one favorite!

Greetings, Stymiefan!
Ah, baby Spanky... Over the years, Our Gang had a few toddlers endowed with the rare ability to singlehandedly carry a short film despite their extreme youth, but I don't know if any of them did it as well as George McFarland. He was truly unique.

I just found this forum after doing an internet search. I was a huge Rascals fan as a kid. At that point, I'd have to say my favorites were the classic Spanky, Alfalfa, Darla, Porky & Buckwheat line up. Afterwards, I really got into the early talkies headlined by Jackie Cooper, Wheezer, Chubby, and Farina. I still think the Miss Crabtree trilogy is perhaps the best Our Gang talkies ever made.
As I got older, I sort of lost interest, but I remained fascinated by the silent Our Gang films. The recent TCM marathon resparked my enjoyment of the Gang. Currently I have to say I prefer the silents to the talkies, even though prior to the marathon, I had only seen about a dozen of them (I have the 4 "Video Yesteryear" VHS tapes with the Wurlitzer organ score, and I have "Uncle Tom's Uncle", "Baby Clothes", and "Back Stage" on Super 8 film). I think in many ways the silents are much funnier than the talkies, and they have a special quality to them that the talkies don't have. My favorites would be Jackie Condon and Mary Kornman. I really like when they have great scenes together, like in "The Cobbler" ("Wanna see me eat nails" cracked me up!) and "A Pleasent Journey" (which I thought was much better than its talkie remake "Choo Choo").

You would have enjoyed "A Pleasant Journey" even more, had they shown the whole film! I enjoy the silents more than the talkies as well. If I do watch the talkies, it's usually the early ones. The later ones with Alfalfa, etc. aren't as funny as they are cute. They've got nothing on Jackie Cooper, Wheezer, Chubby and Farina as far as talkies go. As for the silents, I enjoy Mickey Daniels and Farina the most. |
