Last night my husband and I found ourselves absorbed in TCM's Little Rascals marathon. We were watching the 1931 series where a 3 year old Spanky McFarland stole the show. Now I don't know much about the Our Gang kids. I've heard they got financially screwed by the motion picture companies and never saw a royalty check, but no one can deny the appeal and hilarity of those sweet little faces
At 3 years old, little Spanky looked more like a one year old with a very advanced vocabulary. every time little Spanky appeared on screen I giggled and wanted to squeeze him. Of course this could be because he reminded me of this baby...
Who now look likes this big boy.

Man I LOVE little rascals! And your little boy is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that, I didn't even realise there was a original. How embarrassing.. That kid in it looks so awesome, he's so small!!! Your boy is super cute :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think he's pretty cute too! We've been watching the silent 1920's episodes all day too. The boys love it.
ReplyDeleteha! I'm a huge fan of the older TV series. I loved Our Gang, Honeymooners, and especially I Love Lucy.
