The very first 'Gang' in 1922 consisted of Allen "Farina" Hoskins (the black kid), Mickey Daniels (all-American freckle-faced boy), Joe Cobb (the fat kid), Mary Kornman (the pretty girl), and Pete the dog (with a thick, black circle painted around his right eye).
As the kids grew up they were replaced by a younger crop, including: Jean Darling, Jackie Cooper, Tommy "Butch" Bond, Darla Hood, Darwood "Waldo" Kaye, Robert "Wheezer" Hutchins, Mary Ann Jackson, George "Spanky"
McFarland, Dickie Moore, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, Norman "Chubby" Chaney, William "Buckwheat" Thomas, Matthew "Stymie" Beard, and Mickey Gubitossi (aka Robert Blake) among many others.
Viewed from the perspective of today's over-indulgent parents and their ridiculously pampered offspring, these films take on a whole other layer of humor.
