Legend has it that the idea for the series came to legendary producer Hal Roach when he was
just watching some kids playing outside his office window, and he was amazed at how much time
flew by while he was engaged in their fun.  Starting in the early days of sound and
proceeding for a decade, he would amass an unparalleled cast of young talent that continues
to set the bar for juvenile film performers.  He would dub his creation Our Gang and make
80 classic shorts with them for his own studio.

The Little Rascals: The Complete Collection amasses all 80 of these comedy classics, fully
restored and uncut, and chronicling Hal Roach's years with his creation before selling the
rights to MGM at the end of the 1930s.  Fortunately for fans, since MGM's attempts to
continue the series were lackluster, Roach was able to buy back his films and rights...
everything but the name "Our Gang". The shorts would find a new outlet in the emerging
medium of television, and with a new, longer lasting name...The Little Rascals.
