When Froggy discovers the fabulous salaries paid to radio stars, he gets the idea that the gang should be in on the action. But success in radio requires a sponsor.

Anecdotes

Radio Bugs is a 1944 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Cyril Endfield. It was the 218th Our Gang short to be released.

Production notes

Radio Bugs was the third-to-last Our Gang shorts produced. It marks the directorial debut Cyril Endfield. The three Endfield-directed shorts — Radio Bugs, Dancing Romeo and Tale of a Dog — were all shot in late 1943, and released within two weeks of each other in April 1944. As with several other Our Gang films of this period, Radio Bugs lost money upon its original theatrical release.

The real Red Skelton provides the voiceover for the radio show Froggy's family enjoys during the first scenes of the film. One of the bit players in this short is Mickey Rooney's father Joe Yule, who portrays one of the pained dental patients.
