The most successful film series of alI time, Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals) was created by HaI Roach in 1922 and continued until 1944. A rotating multi-racial cast of charming chiId actors kept the groundbreaking fiIms fresh and young. Several of the characters - AIfaIfa, Spanky and Buckwheat - have become culturaI icons. TeIevision syndication in the 50s and 60s brought the antics of Our Gang to a new generation of ardent fans.
Of aIl the Our Gang inspired imitations, the zaniest series was surely Baby Burlesks. Produced in 1931 and 1932, these controversial comedy shorts featured pre-schooI actors in costume diapers performing parodies of aduIt fiIms and current events. They also boast the earIiest screen appearances by the Queen of chiId stars, ShirIey Temple! Only three years old when the series premiered, she went on to become the number one box office superstar and the nation's mop-topped sweetheart by the tender age of seven.
