I’m just barely old enough to remember the old “Our Gang” being shown in reruns later on Saturday morning along with Laurel & Hardy and the occasional WC Fields, after the cartoons. It was clearly old even then, late sixties, but still funny and enjoyable.
I've seen a number of them. It is a more quiet and quaint style of humor. The thing that is most bothersome is that we remember these people as young children. It's hard to believe that they have now all died of old age.
Same here, they reran those, they still run the 3 stooges on satellite.
Our Gang was really “Great Depression” like it seemed, entertaining.
Butch the tough guy, a lot of characters.
We had them until the early 70's, when i was young child. I liked watching them, it was like a window back in time.
I recall seeing them on my local bay area tv, but now they no longer show them. I recall shows like Little Rascals, Ma and Pa Kettle, 3 Stooges, Speed Racer, Flintstones, WC Fields, Laurel and Hardy etc. I find it so sad that many new generations have no clue. Like you stated they were watched on Saturday’s and sometimes weekdays after school. Now there are no more Saturday’s cartoons either.
That is my goal is to buy up a DVD collections of my own and play them whenever I feel it before they stop showing these shows on DVD.
