I'm not sure they actually knew at the time that November 26 would be the last day of shooting for the 'Our Gang' series. DANCING ROMEO (1944) was the short they were filming, at the time. If they were made aware the subsequent production had been canceled and that the series was being...

Correct. HOME FRONT COMMANDOS was the 'Our Gang' short in production when MGM pulled the plug. Actual shooting of the long running series ended November 26, 1943. CHEERS! :)

Interesting looking still with the tinting. Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas was also quite noticeably older, by this late stage of the 'Our Gang' series. Had MGM decided to continue for another year, I suspect he might have been replaced due to this. Was the added headache of likely having to recast...

In any event, it's easy for me to see how 5 of the last 7 'Our Gang' shorts were Box Office money losers, as most of the post Spanky shorts made for pretty dreary (As opposed to merely below average!) viewing! Ironically, my favorite of these post Spanky shorts was the last released DANCING...

Hi David! While I'm certainly no expert in this area, I believe there was some sort of system in place, in which Theatre Exhibitors would decide whether or not to hold over a short subject, based at least in part, on written audience feedback, as they exited! I don't find it difficult to...

More about LITTLE MISS PINKERTON: Last night, I read a post on another forum, in which it was pointed out that since the "Our Gang" series was by now losing money, MGM attempted to take the series in a different direction, and was produced along the lines of their long running "Crime Does Not...

Just a few minutes ago, I gave in to a perverse temptation to view LITTLE MISS PINKERTON (1943), which in my opinion represents the absolute nadir of the MGM 'Our Gang' shorts! In terms of being as bad as I remember, this stinker never disappoints! In my opinion, pretty much everything about...

Hi Ken! I've taken the liberty of adding in the Disc 1 entries, as these aren't present for reasons unbeknownst (I have no way of knowing whether they were deleted by some technical error, or if you didn't include them, in the first place?) to me! In addition, I've included more...

I know that this is a very old Topic, but am I the only one who's not seeing the Titles from Disc 1 listed? The reason I ask this is because of some of the odd irregularities that have been occurring recently with the HTF revamping! CHEERS! :)
