A "Super" DVD

""Superstars of Our Gang" continues the line of colorized Little Rascals compilations from Legend Films as its third piece. As I've detailed in my other reviews, these DVDs are an excellent resource for both the casual and hardcore Our Gang fan, because they've cherry-picked the very best episodes from the show's quite broad canon.
In addition to the quality improvements inherent in DVD over pre-existing VHS, Legend has gone the Lucasfilm route and employed its advanced colorization technology to not only add color to existing film, but also to completely re-master the black and whites themselves, dramatically improving the visual quality from tapes you might've seen in childhood. Yes, this disc contains both colorized episodes and black and white episodes, so you're free to take you pick based on personal preference. Judging from my own experience, the younger generation is likely to be more receptive to the colorized episodes than to the black and whites, but at least this disc allows you flexibility either way, for substantially the same price as other Little Rascals incarnations. Additionally, this DVD contains some harder-to-find material that is sure to delight the hardcore Rascals fan, including rare cuts from Rascals' appearances on other contemporary shows."
