National Telefilm Associates, later renamed Republic Pictures, purchased Blackhawk in 1983, and continued the catalogue releases while also making "The Little Rascals" available on retail home video collections in 1984. 30 "Little Rascals" shorts were released in a set of five VHS compilations, with six shorts to a volume: "Little Rascals Comedy Classics 1", "Little Rascals Comedy Classics 2", "Best of the Little Rascals", "Little Rascals on Parade", and "Adventures of Little Rascals". Each of these tapes contained two volumes of the 1983 catalogue releases, making each tape contain six episodes. In addition, Republic made the first two catalogue volumes available for retail.
