Carl Switzer had the potential of being a great clown when he portrayed Alfalfa in the Our Gang comedies. I liked the episode where Alfie vowed to be a woman hater, but the moment he saw Darla, he couldn't control himself. That cowlick was something else; he called it his personality, and went nuts (I'm ruined!) when Spanky cut it off to use for a mustache. However, when he screeches, the volume on my set almost always goes down. Overall, the Alfalfa character was a great contribution to Roach's Rascals.
