Aw Raspberries! :)

hah!!  Disturbing, isn't it?  I loved these when I was young.  Although they didn't show these really old ones too often.

That $100 bill must have been a fortune.

The average wage about 60¢ an hour or $18 a week.

Right I was thinking the same thing.  I was interested so I looked up the young actors as well.  That was 'Spanky's' first appearance - and an early appearance of 'Stymie'.
The 'little baby' was actually quite old.

I saw that one many times growing up.... love the music in the backround.

Yes, many are in the public domain now (the earlier ones) and can be found on youtube.  Love the intro music, and background music.
