 The Little Rascals: The Complete Collection January 7, 2009
If you grew up watching the Little Rascals and loved them, you will enjoy this eight disc collection. We have gotten through the first two discs and have loved every minute. Now that the holidays are over, we're looking forward to continuing our journey down "memory lane". When you consider that these were filmed starting in 1929, the quality is very good. The work that has been done to prepare them for this collection is good. There are some "rough" spots, but then, we're only up to the beginning of 1931. Enjoy them - we have!

To those who have complained about the quality of some of the restored episodes, I have a question: Did your family have a high definition digital quality TV set back when you first saw these?
Doubtful, since I first saw most of these on an old TV set with an antenna feed.
So, unless you are a uber-geek that has to have everything you own in a crystal clear High definition-Blu-Ray format, get over yourself and you will highly enjoy this collection!
It brought back memories from watching these as a child and exposing our children to them years ago also made them very eager and happy to watch these.
I would and have recommended this collection to others!
An Absolutely, Positively, Fabulous Collection January 6, 2009

My after school tv addiction to the LITTLE RASCALS was reactivated by this great set. As a serious fan of these wonderful little shorts I regard the box as indispensable and ultra-essential. A spectacular achievement.
 A few disappointments but still worth it... January 4, 2009

Like a lot of other diehard fans, I've waited quite a while for a dvd compilation like this to be released. In my opinion, they could have done a lot better with it, but it's worth the $55 price from Amazon. It's true that some of the shorts appear to be directly from the Blackhawk prints. I'm not tremendously discerning when it comes to quality of the print, so I think these episodes are acceptable in this regard, but I am disappointed not to have the original opening/closing credits. And, despite the "uncut" claim on the box, I do detect edits in a few spots. I don't think this detracts overall, but it's still something of a let-down. In a couple of episodes, I also noted that the sound was a little garbled - particularly in parts of one of my favorites, "Teacher's Pet" with Jackie Cooper. I never noted problems like this in the old Cabin Fever VHS format. I am also disappointed that the discs are not individually formatted so that you can select a specific episode to view from the menu - you have little else but the "play all" choice on each of the discs. It's possible to navigate ("skip") fairly efficiently through the segments of each short, but this is something of a hassle - something the dvd format should be able to offer over VHS! All in all, what can I say? If you appreciate these true classics you'll probably be satisfied with it - I am - but it COULD have been so much better!
 Very good could be better January 3, 2009

First of all let me say I'm not totally sorry I bought this dvd set. I used to own the Cabin Fever vhs tapes & I wish I had kept them.Later when they came out on dvd I was disappointed that only part of them were issued with the Cabin Fever trademark. That being said I'm saying that Cabin Fever offered the highest picture quality of any Little Rascals dvd set. The Little Rascals The Complete Collection is still very good. There are a few minor drawbacks however. Washee Ironee & 1 or 2 other shorts are cut a bit. Also like some other viewers I'm sorry to see the Blackhawk titles on some of the shorts instead of the originals used by Hal Roach studios. It's obvious that the picture on some of the mid 30's films are a bit darker & grainy than I prefer. So I have to ask are all of the films remastered? Who knows? On the positive side I'm still glad to see these movies on one dvd set. Considering how much they've been handled since 1995 I think it's cool that they look as good as they do now. The bonus interviews with Dickie Moore Jerry Tucker & Jean Darling were very exciting as well. I also recommend the Little Rascals book by Richard Bann & Leonard Maltin. I'm very fortunate because I own the original edition from 1977. I wonder why this book hasn't been updated since 1992? Many Rascals including Spanky Joe Cobb Jay R Smith Waldo Porky & Butch have all died since then. I think it's time to update the book & complete their biographies. Anyway I hope you enjoy the dvds.
