I thought this was going to be about John David Stutts, the guy that shot Buckwheat. And Texxon is there.
Just damn.
Looks like his freckles had cleared up, for the most part.
or how about Mickey...you know...Robert Blake...who killed, well you all know.
"dont do the crime if you wont do the time..."
I am going to brag a little here because my mom died two weeks ago, so I am feeling a little nostalgic.
My father was in OUR GANG, he was in the silent movies--
he died in 1979, but I have some pictures of him when he was in the movies--
Someday, when I learn how to post pictures, I might be able to post one here---
Please forgive me, but whenever there is a story about Our Gang, it reminds me of my dad and I loved him a lot and miss him (and now my mom)---
Also, I don't mean to bring anyone down, so sorry if I did--
sleuth
you didn't, and that is very cool.....after we are gone I don't think many of the youth these days knows a damned thing about the Little Rascals........OTAY......
Buckwheat got shot?? When?? Enquiring minds want to know.
Alfalfa...Mickey/Robert Blake..Buckwheat.....Miss Crabtree who was raped by Buckwheat...and now this.
I only hope Darla & Spanky can defeat this curse.....Oh NOOOOOO!....I'm told they are dead too!
Ted Koppel: We have just received word that Buckwheat has been shot. Apparently, it happened just moments ago as the legendary performer was leaving 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York. He had just finished making an appearance on "Saturday Night Live", and as he was leaving the building, he was shot by an unknown assailant, or assailants.. details are sketchy at this point. [ grabs earpiece ] Now, I understand that we now have a videotape of the shooting - let's take a look.

Autograph Seeker: Oh, Mr. Buckwheat, I so love your singing, could I have your autograph..?
Buckwheat: Thank you very much. No autographs, pease, pease.. [ to crowd ] I nub nou! I nub nou! [ stands just outside of his limo ]
Voice in the Crowd: Hey, Mr. Wheat!
Buckwheat: Yes.
[ suddenly, two shots ring out, as Buckwheat staggers and his bodyguards run into the startled crowd to tackle the mysterious assailant - cameras zoom back to see the limo peel away in a mad rush to the hospital. ]
[ cut back to Ted Koppel ]
Ted Koppel: That was the scene just moments ago. To repeat: Buckwheat has been shot. We understand that he has been rushed to a nearby hospital, his condition unknown. We'll bring you more details as the shocking tragedy develops.

Announcer: The Shooting of Buckwheat: America Stunned. Brought to you by Texxon. Life goes on. And Texxon is there.
Ahhh, our illustrious "homeless" - bums, hobos, vagrants, tramps - strike again.
I'll post another message in a few minutes and let you know how it turns out.
Very funny. What really happened to Buckwheat?
Spanky did okay. He apparently lived a normal life after leaving the show, but dropped dead of a heart attack.
Didn't you hear? He became a cereal killer.
What was your father's name?
Sorry to hear about your loss.
