Featured review
* Don't Y'all Get It?
* Many viewers of these MGM-produced "Our Gang" musicals truly fail to understand that they were parodies of the those Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland era "Hey Gang, lets put on a show!" feature length movies. Rather than going for the usual neighborhood kids laugh comedy the MGM era Our Gang films such as this were show-casing the musical talents of the youngsters that MGM had under contract at the time. While it seems to me that many folks fail to appreciate Froggy who replaced Alfalfa (who had outgrown the series) as a kind of "Shemp" to Alfalfa's "Curley" Froggy was indeed a good child actor and an asset to the series. His "frog" voice was his impersonation of the Popeye cartoon character.
