Our Gang / East Side Kids 4-DVD Pack

OUR GANG The creator of Our Gang, Hal Roach, felt that rather than watch kids act like little adults, it would be much more fun to watch them behave as they really do--like kids! Audiences adored watching the childish mischief and hilarious antics of the "gang," which included Spanky, Alfalfa, Stymie, Buckwheat, Porky, Butch, Wheezer, Chubby, Waldo, and more. Never before had an entertainment medium so precisely captured the lens through which children view the world. This timeless collection will remind you what it's like to be a kid again--the simplicity, the innocence, and the wonder with which youth experience life. So, relive facets of your youth, and enjoy the classic episodes of this original and supremely entertaining series.
