There Was A Total Of 220 Our Gang Films
The whole run of the Our Gang series lasted for an incredible 22 years. It transferred from the era of silent films to sound. Throughout the 220 short films, 41 actors were employed. While Alfalfa, Spanky, and Buckwheat are the most recognizable names from the series, the show was running for a decade before they showed up. The Little Rascals show was created when Hal Roach compiled 79 of the 80 movies made with sound and put them all together. The series started in 1955, 11 years after Our Gang ended. It was extremely influential and inspired plenty of imitations. However, none of them reached the popularity of The Little Rascals.
