| Additional Information | The 1-2-3 Go Club is a reference to a club created in the third season of the television program Our Gang which aired in 1941. Our Gang featured a cast of rambunctious children also were known by and had films under the titles The Little Rascals. Our Gang began as a series of silent films with piano accompaniment in 1922. Created by Hal Roach, the series of short silent films became popular and drew audiences to the theaters. The characters continued on into the "talkies" (films with sound), and eventually television. The 1-2-3 Go Club was featured in an episode that focused on traffic safety and care in crossing the street, after a member of the gang was struck by a car. |
