The Little Rascals is an American animated comedy television series produced Hanna-Barbera, in association with King World Productions, for ABC's Saturday morning children's programming, and ran from 1982 to 1983, airing 22 episodes in total that spanned two seasons. Before being its own independent series, its first and second seasons were shown as part of The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show and The Monchhichis/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show, respectively. It was based on the Our Gang live-action theatrical short films of the 1920s and 1940s.

On April 23, 2016, Warner Archive announced on Facebook in a now deleted post that the series will not receive a DVD release due to reasons beyond their control.
