Little Rascals

[bloo]

Sip, our lives must be running some sort of East Coast/West Coast parallel. Just this past week, we've started showing my 6 year old son, and 3 year old daughter clips of the Three Stooges on the iPad... They love the slapstick humor, my son laughs louder than I've ever heard him laugh, great fun!

I never was much of a Little Rascals fan, but my wife likes them. Gotta love Mo, Larry, and Curly. My son's favorite episode, so far, is "Disorder In The Court." "Will you please take off that hat!"

Probably not the best modeling for the kids, but hey, we turned out normal, right...? Right...?

Moe: Curly why are you throwing those nails back in the box?
Curly: Because they are for the other wall.

Fortunately my grandkids have seemed to figure out that SpongeBob can potentially lower their IQ. For example, the characters live at the bottom of the ocean, right? How can they have a campfire? How can they spray or spill water when they are IN water? How do they make ice cubes? It goes on and on.

Some of these other alleged "cartoons" on the Cartoon Network are even more lame. The animation is worse than the nonsensical plots. What happened to Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes? Those from the late forties through the fifties are the best. Whenever I stumble across those and the grandkids are around I show them what real cartoons are supposed to look like. They only seem to play them randomly on Cartoon Network.

They also like my stash of Three Stooges - I have DVD's of all the Curly shorts. I'll have to get them in front of some Youtube Rascals, thanks for the reminder.

You have struck upon the deeper meaning of squarebob. All hail the great conche..

Mickey (Robert Blake) is alive and bankrupt after being acquitted of murder.

Man, talk about dodging a murder rap, how about Robert Blake! Let me get this straight, you and your wife are having major marraige problems. You both go to dinner. You finish with dinner, go back to the car together, but realize you 'left something' back at the restaurant. You leave your wife in the car, and go back to the restaurant to get it. And, oh boy, when you get back to the car, your waiting wife is sitting there, shot to death.

Fast forward to trial... Prosecutor, "So, Mr. Blake, what did you go back to the restaurant to retrieve?" Mr. Blake, 'why, I went back for my gun, it must have fallen out in the restaurant booth...'. I don't know, call me cynical, but WTH!

Robert Blake is one stone cold 'little rascal.'

Mrs Crabtree: "Stymie tell us about Washington."

Stymie: "Washington was first in war, first in peace and last in the American League."

I guess I was kinda partial to Sally Starr. All dressed up in her cowgirl outfit and well healed to boot. I can't remember if her show featured the Stooges or Popeye.

It was Popeye.

Here she is with her shootin' irons.

Spanky: Buckwheat why you taking that alarm clock fishing?

Buckwheat: My mama said a worm can only hold its breath for five minutes.

So my wife and I got tired of our 6 year old watching those horrid Disney shows with nothing but smack talking teens...so tonight, I took out the ipad and sat her down with her brother Dino (he's 3) and we watched youtube clips from the our gang series. Well, I never seen her laugh so hard. So did Dino. Of course, she did want to know why some of the kids in the talent show dressed up in black face...that one was a bit harder to explain....

Oh thought you were talking about Dino Danelli and the Young Rascals

My kids were not allowed to sit in front of the TV on Saturday morning after I happened to be working in the house on a Saturday morning on some project that gave me a chance to watch them watch the 'toons' that were the fare for the day. After about three hours of watching them stare at the Saturday nonsense, without so much as a expression change, let alone a laugh, I pulled the plug. Evidently, the toons weren't funny to them but they were still held captive by this nonsense. I agree with those who remember the old entertainment we had, especially the Warner Bros. cartoons. Watching them didn't cause me to do anything violent. And I'm not a raciest because of the content. But I did, and still do laugh at them.

Did she want to know why "Petey" was one of those vicious pit bulls?
