The Little Rascals (1960)
The Little Rascals is the television title given to the Our Gang two-reel comedies produced by Hal Roach in the 20s and 30s. While he'd always wanted to make a series of comedies with children, Roach was not fond of cutesy "professional kids." He hit upon the Our Gang notion one morning in 1922 while watching a bunch of kids arguing over a piece of wood. The thought struck him that if he was fascinated with children behaving like real kids rather than miniature adults, audiences would be equally fascinated.
