Films from Hal Roach's all animal series the Dippy Doo Dads were also occasionally shown.
The series ended production in 1961, but continued to be aired by certain local television stations well into the 1970s, and even during the 80's in Latin America.
Carnival-like music (composed by Jack Saunders) and rather inappropriate sound effects were also added onto the films.
Our Gang members Mickey, Mary, Ernie, Farina, Jackie, and Johnny all had their familiar names retained.
Top billing for the series went to Laurel and Hardy (even though very few of their films as a team were shown), Ben Turpin, Harry Langdon, Billy Bevan, and The Keystone Cops.
Other films shown starred Will Rogers, Charley Chase, Snub Pollard, Billy West, Larry Semon, Clyde Cook, and Mabel Normand, among others.
