Grin and Bear It is an episode of The Little Rascals. Written by Doug Booth, it first aired 2 October 1982.
Summary[]
The Rascals are in the woods on a camping trip. Eventually, Porky is kidnapped by a spooky character known as the Phantom Lumberjack. To make matters worse, the gang ends up being lost in the forest, with only Porky's trail of food to follow. When they try to find Porky in the cave of the suspect, they discover bags of money. That suspect was apparently a bank robber disguised as the Phantom. A hungry bear attacked and revealed the robber's face, and the gang manages to capture and tie the robber down, and promised to report him to Officer Ed the next morning to make an arrest.
Trivia[]
- The title of this episode was previously used on The Tom & Jerry Show, but with no title card.
- In one scene, the Rascals are seen running away from the Phantom Lumberjack with a tent covering them, revealing only their feet. This scene may be a shoutout to the Our Gang theatrical short "The First Round Up".
- The Rascals supposedly have lit a campfire without adult supervision, and presumably leave it burning overnight. This practice is strongly discouraged to children in real life.
