TCM Schedule for Tuesday, January 4th: Hal Roach Studios: Our Gang

[CBHagman]

Listen up, all you members of the He-Man Woman-Haters Club and its distaff equivalent! :popcorn: Get some popcorn and candy and hit the couch for one huge Our Gang festival. A great many of us likely grew up without knowing all the titles of the shorts, so this is a perfect opportunity for a refresher course -- and a lot of laughter. :rofl:

And it looks as though TCM is also observing Jane Wyman's birthday -- one day early. :shrug:
