Spooktober: The Little Rascals in Rascals' Revenge (1982)

 Hanna-Barbera tried to adapt The Little Rascals into an animated series, and recapture the spirit of the classic shorts with Spanky, Alfalfa, and the gang. The series was cancelled after 2 seasons. We discussed previously the reason why. It was not a stand-alone series, instead lumped together with fellow freshman series Pac-Man and 3rd year series Richie Rich.

"Rascals' Revenge" plays as if this was an old short loosely adapted for television. There's also a Pac-Man bumper voiced by Marty Ingels. Spanky (Scott Menville, in one of his first toon jobs) leads us into the show.


Shavar Ross (Buckwheat) was also heard on Mork & Mindy while moonlighting from Diff'rent Strokes.

Rating: B.
