Derek03

I watched this show as a kid.I really liked it for the first few seasons,when Derek,J.T. and Freddy were on it.It was much funnier when Ricky was younger and his dad had that train running through the living room.I think the funniest episode was when Ricky owed Derek for saving his life and couldn't find him a date for their party.So Derek makes Ricky dress up as a girl to be his date!It was really funny and Ricky really looked like a girl. Later on as Rick got older and they changed some of the characters on the show it really went down hill.

Hi'-Neighbor is probably the best rascals short of all.The gang's determination and imagination in building their own fire engine is great!Spanky and Stymies interactions are great!Scotty and Spanky are always good together.Wally is bound and determined to show up Jerry and win Jane back.Everybody likes to see the rich snob get what's coming to them.The scene where Jerry tries to show Jane the gang doesn't have a fire engine is great.He winds up getting his pants ripped off and running away!Only to later be defeated in a race after the gang's brakes,break!This one is hilarious!!!

Another of my personal favorites.Free Wheelin' makes you laugh.Stymie is the voices on the taxi-cab radio,as well as the floating power!Spanky shakes down an organ grinder's monkey for cab fare,and Dickie's stiff neck gets cured!All thanks to a wild down hill ride that provides plenty of excitement!Stymie and Spanky are exceptionally good in this one,as they often were.
