    I ordered both Blu-ray volumes from ClassicFlix. My copy of Volume 2 arrived three days ago, but I haven't watched it yet. However, it has that great, what I call trilogy with Miss Crabtree (June Marlowe): Teacher's Pet, School's Out, and Love Business. Jackie Cooper did such a great acting job in Teacher's Pet, which helped him get the roles in Skippy (he was nominated for an Oscar for that film) and The Champ.

    Dorothy DeBorba Haberreiter lived in the San Francisco Bay Area following her acting career. Back in the 1970's, she was a secretary in the Cal Berkeley Journalism department. I met her briefly at a Hollywood Collectibles and Autograph show in the Bay Area in 2000. I understand she would appear at the local Sons of the Desert (Laurel and Hardy group) gatherings. At the 2000 Collectibles etc. show, she autographed for me a copy of a photo with her and the other Little Rascals from approx. 1931.

    I ordered an additional copy of Vol2 as thank you gift for a colleague/friend, it arrived near totally destroyed. Wrote to classicflix, next day the owner contacted me and they are sending a replacement without making me go through the hassle of shipping it back. Makes me feel good about buying direct from them rather contributing strictly to Amazon's bottom line. I do hope classicflix succeeds for many decades to come

    BTW I high recommend their "Africa Screams" Abbott and Costello Blu-ray along with Marx Brothers "Night in Casablanca" Blu-ray and especially the "The Complete Hal Roach Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly Comedy Collection" DVD. Thelma was smokin' hot in any year or era.

    I forgot to mention Abbott & Costello's Noose Hangs High was a really nice restoration + transfer as well.

    Coming soon a restored Blu-ray of Abbott and Costello TV Show Season 1! Those who know how bad the previous prints used for home video were will appreciated what Classicflix and Bob Furmanek are doing :)

    yea, I bought that set twice on DVD promising restored PQ! WELL, each one sucked worst than the other...I wonder if any of the content on those mishaps will be relevant after the BD sets?

    any idea when we will be seeing the A&C show Season 1 blu-ray?

    I read that December is the target date for the A&C Show. It looks like it will have some great extras. Looking forward to the Gilbert Gottfried commentary.

    I'm on my 2nd viewing. I turned the subtitles on to see what I may have missed the first time thru.

    September - 2021 Update:


    ClassicFlix has posted a restoration comparison for their upcoming release
    The Little Rascals - The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 3 to give Our Gang fans a glimpse of what they can expect.

    With better elements than Volume 1 & 2, it will be the best volume yet! ENJOY!

    Pre-order now Volume 3 Blu-Ray from ClassicFlix out soon... October 19, 2021.
