. . . gussied up as "Cousin Amelia," the Drag Queen, exactly 7:46 into this ahead-of-its-time "Our Gang" episode. As the title MAIL AND FEMALE explicitly forewarns, these "Little Rascals" bend over backwards to be LGBT-Q friendly. Some say that Alfalfa is Bi; others contend that he's Undeclared--but the consensus seems to be that the worst "crooner" ever is thoroughly confused. However, it's never been a crime to be Agnostic about sex, and even "Quasimodo" could have at least attracted the goat's gaze with a better chiropractor. During MAIL AND FEMALE "Spanky" might seem to be hung up on spanking, but what else could anyone expect? "Darla" gives her role as "Mata Hari, Jr." her best shot, while "Buckwheat" tackles the chore of being the Red Queen's messenger. MAIL AND FEMALE marks at least the second founding of "The He-Man Woman-Haters' Club," and this organization has certainly popped up gasping for air a third time in Today's DC "Oval Office."
