The Little Rascals is one of my favorite classics. It’s kids just being kids. The producer, Hal Roach, looked out his studio window, after auditioning some children for his new series and found something he liked better — kids, not trying to act, but kids in action, doing things when no adult is around — like picking up sticks and sparring. It was a glimpse of the first reality TV show. And Hal Roach brought it all together in his production of “The Little Rascals”. The series was syndicated by TV and pretty soon America got a taste of reality too. This first clip is when the kids won’t drink their milk, ‘cuz it’s spoiled.
