Our Gang's lineup changed frequently; as kids left the series or outgrew their roles, new kids were recruited to join the cast.

The groupings are not meant to represent a cast lineup for a particular Our Gang short from the period it represents, but rather a more general listing of the most important members of the cast during the period.
