This filmography attempts to include all of the films that Hal Roach worked on, including those not made by his studio. It also attempts to include all of the films made by Hal E. Roach Studios, whether or not Roach himself was involved. The filmography is nearly complete up through the mid 1940s, thanks mostly to Rob Stone, who let me utilize his impressive list, and Richard Lewis Ward, who wrote A History Of The Hal Roach Studios, which includes an extensive filmography. I've also received quite a lot of help from Joe Moore, who has filled in some gaps and provided clarification for some of the information. The list below is the most complete that I've seen so far. It should be noted, however, that the TV era (from the late '40s into the early '60s) is far from complete. For some shows, I've been able to find a list of all the episodes, but not for others. Also, it isn't always clear whether a show was actually made by Roach's company, or simply renting studio space. For the purposes of this filmography, rental situations are not included, other than being briefly mentioned when known.

1913

Roach started as an extra with Universal in early 1913. He frequently appeared in westerns starring J. Warren Kerrigan. It was during this period that he met Harold Lloyd.
Realizing that his acting abilities were limited, Roach began to take various non-acting assignments, and eventually served as assistant director on the Jeanie McPherson series of shorts.
Presumably, Roach didn't limit his options to Universal, and turned up at a number of other studios.

unspecified title (technical advisor/extra role): 1913 - Universal; Roach advised on how the game of roulette was played, so as to make it realistic in the film. He remembered this as his first film.

1914

Roach continued to work as an extra for Universal and other studios, as well as occasional work behind the cameras.
On July 23rd, Roach formed the Rolin Film Company with partner Dan Linthicum (combining their names to form the company name), and a third partner, I. H. Nance. Roach was elected president of the company. They hired Harold Lloyd to play the lead in the one-reel Willie Work series, with Jane Novak as his leading lady and Roy Stewart as the heavy. They also filmed two-reel dramas, with Stewart in the lead and Lloyd and Novak in support.
On August 17th, Nance was replaced by Dwight Whiting.
After several films had been made in the late summer and early fall, Lloyd defected to Keystone over a pay dispute. Roach briefly tried another comedian, but production ceased when funds ran dry, with the company still lacking a distributor.
Roach then began directing comedies for Essanay, featuring such players as Bud Jamison and Snub Pollard.

1915

Roach was directing comedies for Essanay when business partner Dwight Whiting succeeded in getting Pathé Exchange interested in distributing the Rolin product. Pathé distributed only one Willie Work short, "Just Nuts," and wanted Rolin to reunite the three principles, but only Harold Lloyd was available. Pathé was able to pick and choose which films they distributed, with Rolin turning over the rest to Motion Picture Specialties Corporation, which found other distribution for a handful of the remaining films.
During the summer, the company leased facilities owned by Norbig Film Manufacturing Company at 1745-51 Alessandro Street in Edendale.
Lloyd developed the Lonesome Luke character during the course of the year, and was joined in July by Bebe Daniels and Snub Pollard.
Dee Lampton joined the Roach stock company late in the year.
In October, Pathé committed to a long-term contract to distribute the Lonesome Luke series. It should be noted that Pathé released four films in 1915, "Lonesome Luke" (June 7), "Once Every Ten Minutes" (July 12), "Soaking The Clothes" (Aug. 9) and "Pressing His Suit" (Aug. 23) that were not made by Rolin Film Company, even though they've been long attributed to the Lonesome Luke series. IMDb corrects this error, but credits Roach as an 'unconfirmed' director.

1916

In March of this year, Rolin moved production to Pacific Laboratories on Santa Monica Boulevard.
In April, Rolin attempted to hire Arnold Novello, better known as Toto, to star in his own series, but he was unavailable.
In June, Rolin launched rotund side player Dee Lampton into his own series, and gave him the ironic nickname Skinny.
In August, the Lonesome Luke series graduated to 2-reel status.
In November, filming on the Skinny series ended, and Lampton returned to the Rolin stock company.
Late in the year, Rolin rented a vacant lot on Olive Street for their location work.
By the end of the year, Rolin had moved their main operation to the Bradbury mansion at 406 Court Street.
IMDb lists three Jimmy Aubrey comedies plus a film called "Jailed" as Rolin and Phunphilm films. All indications are that Aubrey was in New York throughout 1916 and never did a series for Roach.

1917

In February of this year, Roach went to New York to film the pilot for a new Toto series starring Arnold Novello.
In May, the Toto series went into regular production in Los Angeles.
In June, the Lonesome Luke series was discontinued in favor of a new Harold Lloyd series in which he wore the lensless glasses with which most people associate him. While the Luke comedies had been two-reelers, this new series tentatively reverted to the one-reel format.
In October, a dispute between Roach and Lloyd resulted in a short being filmed that featured sidekick Snub Pollard.

1918

Early in the year, the Los Angeles Fire Department ordered film production to cease on the vacant lot on Olive Street.
In March, there was another contract dispute between Roach and Lloyd, resulting in Alf Goulding filling in for Lloyd in his latest short.
On April 4th, Dwight Whiting sold his stock in the company to Roach, leaving the latter without a business partner.
In May, the Toto series was discontinued and Stan Laurel was signed on to star in his own series.
In July, the Stan Laurel series was discontinued after doing poorly.

1919

In April of this year, the Harold Lloyd series expanded to a new two-reel format.
In June, Lloyd leading lady Bebe Daniels left the series and was replaced by Mildred Davis.
On August 24th, the Harold Lloyd series came to an abrupt halt when Lloyd suffered a severe injury to his right hand, losing the thumb and forefinger, while posing for photographs with what he thought was an inactive prop bomb.
On August 26th, a new series of one-reelers called Rolin Comedies was inaugurated, if only to keep the staff employed. These comedies initially starred Snub Pollard, but over the years, they included most of the one-reelers made by the company, regardless of the star. Pollard's sidekick in these initial comedies was child actor Ernie "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, who had arrived at the studio shortly before the accident.
On September 1st, Ernie Morrison was signed to a long-term contract. Correspondence between Roach and Pathé executive Fred Quimby during this period reveals that Roach wanted to start a series of 'coon' pictures, no doubt starring Morrison. The head of Pathé in the US, Paul Brunet, vetoed this idea on the premise that 'kid' series were generally not successful. Roach had to content himself with featuring Morrison in the Pollard series, which was advertised as though the two were a comedy team.
On September 2nd, tragedy struck again when Dee Lampton, who had previously starred in his own series, died of a ruptured appendix.
In November, construction began on Hal E. Roach Studios in Culver City. The land was provided for free by Harry Culver, who was trying to attract movie studios to his city. One contemporary publication places the beginning of the Roach studio on November 8th, which may or may not have been the first day of construction.
Harold Lloyd returned to work at the end of the year.

1920

The Harold Lloyd unit resumed production in early January of this year.
Later in January, another series of one-reelers was launched, this one starring Beatrice La Plante. This series was incorporated into the Rolin Comedies.
In February, production units began to use the new Culver City studio, which hadn't reached its completion date.
In April, the Beatrice La Plante series ended.
On April 20th, the Roach studio in Culver City was officially completed.
In June, a series of one-reelers called Vanity Fair Maids went into production. It quickly became Vanity Fair Girls, and starred Eddie Boland. This series was considered separate from the Rolin Comedies.
The July 3rd issue of Motion Picture News announced that a "three cornered deal" was struck between Roach, Pathé and Associated Exhibitors, Inc., whereby Harold Lloyd would make more than a million and a half dollars during the first year. This deal took effect after Lloyd's final release of 1920.
Lloyd's meteoric rise in popularity during this year led to a reissuing of the Lonesome Luke comedies.
On August 16th, Rolin Film Company was officially renamed Hal E. Roach Studios. With this name-change, the one-reelers produced by the company were renamed the Hal Roach Comedies.
IMDb includes "Nomads Of The North" among the films Roach produced during this year, but they simultaneously attribute it to another company, so it's doubtful that Roach was involved.

1921

In January of this year, the Vanity Fair Girls were retired, and their series became a solo vehicle called the Eddie Boland Comedies.
In February, Charles Parrott (later known as Charley Chase) joined Roach to direct the Snub Pollard series.
On February 28th, Ernie Morrison's contract was renewed.
In March, Gaylord Lloyd (the brother of Harold), was featured in a handful of the Hal Roach Comedies. These were intially meant to be a revival of the Lonesome Luke comedies, and Lloyd's physical appearance in the films bears this out to some extent.
Early in the year, the Harold Lloyd series began to be funded by Associated Exhibitors.
On April 17th, Roach contracted with the Ruth Roland company to make a serial in conjunction with his company.
In August, the Hal Roach Comedies started to feature Paul Parrott (actually Charles' brother, James), who replaced the departing Eddie Boland. There was also a George Rowe pilot produced for this series the same month.
On September 20th, Roach signed a contract with Pathé for the release of a Sunshine Sammy two-reeler that failed to achieve series status.
Late in the year, the Ruth Roland serial "White Eagle" was produced by her own company in conjunction with Roach.
With the release of the Harold Lloyd mini-feature "A Sailor-Made Man," his unit switched exclusively to feature production.
In December, Charles Parrott (aka Chase) was appointed director-general of the studio. This gave him supervisory status over all of the non-Lloyd films.
Special note: In his book, Richard Ward lists a one-reeler entitled "One-Quarter Inch," which was part of the Lloyd reissue series and released on September 11th. This was either a retitled film, a previously unreleased film, or a mistake in the source material.

1922

In January of this year, the first film starring Hal Roach's Rascals was shot and titled "Our Gang," a name that soon became an alternate title for the series.
The January 14th issue of Motion Picture News reported that Roach was in New York visiting the offices of Pathé, along with Mrs. Roach, Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, and Mildred's mother. During this visit, Roach and Pathé signed a new 3-year deal covering all of the Roach product (according to the Feb. 18th issue). They were due to return by February 1st (according to the Jan. 28th issue).
On January 19th, Roach and Pathé signed into a distribution deal for Hal Roach's Rascals.
On January 31st, Harold Lloyd signed a new contract with Pathé.
In March, the Snub Pollard series graduated to 2-reel status, but this turned out to be a bad idea and they soon reverted back to the one-reel format.
A second Ruth Roland serial, entitled "The Timber Queen," was produced this year.
The April 2nd issue of Motion Picture News announced that Roach had given up producing serials and would concentrate solely on comedies going forward.
Towards the end of the year, Jobyna Ralston replaced Mildred Davis as Harold Lloyd's leading lady.
It appears that Charles Parrott (aka Chase) resigned as director-general in December to concentrate on acting.
The Will Rogers films "The Ropin' Fool" and "Fruits Of Faith" are listed in IMDb as Roach films, but were almost certainly produced elsewhere.

1923

In January of this year, the Dippy Doo Dads series went into production independently of the Hal Roach Comedies.
In February, Stan Laurel was added to the Hal Roach Comedies rotation.
In March, Pathé signed a distribution deal with Mack Sennett, which was a great disappointment to Roach.
The March 17th issue of Motion Picture News reported that Roach purchased a "film ranch" for $100,000. Though the details are a little off, other sources verify that this was what became the Hal Roach Ranch on Arnaz Road. The Los Angeles Times of May 13th reported that work was "rapidly being completed" on the ranch facility.
In April, a serial starring Edna Murphy went into production, entitled "Her Dangerous Path."
Also in April, Roach ventured into the field of dramatic features with the filming of "The Call Of The Wild."
On April 29th, a party of fifteen from the Roach studio left for Catalina Island, returning on May 6th.
In May, the two-reel Spat Family series was started.
On May 29th, Roach announced that Warren Doane, Harley M. Walker and Thomas J. Crizer were all made partners in the business, which meant he would be free of participating in active direction of production.
In June, a two-reel series starring Will Rogers began production.
Around this time, Stan Laurel graduated to two-reel status.
In July, Harold Lloyd left the Roach studio to start his own company.
The August 11th issue of Motion Picture News reported the following: "A school that will develop specialists in comedy direction: that's the purpose of a course just established by Hal Roach at the big Roach studios located in Culver City, Cal., according to word from the Pathe home office in New York. Directors who have already won a reputation for proficiency in the comedy field will constitute the faculty of the new school. While the course is designed primarily for the development of the assistant directors on the Hal Roach lot and to advance the standard of comedy direction by collection as well as individualistic effort, it is planned to admit at a later date any one in the organization who shows aptitude and afford the candidates opportunities to demonstrate their fitness for directorial work.
"In a statement from Mr. Roach, who started as an 'extra' and assistant director himself, the reasons for the launching of this innovation are explained as follows: 'The crying need of the comedy producers today is directors. Good directors are as scarce as big stars. While some directors may be "born" that way, we've reached a point in the growing, pressing public demand for first-class comedy where we can't afford to rely on such accidents of birth; we've got to get to work and "make" directors.'
"Classes are now meeting every Monday night. According to Mr. Roach's estimate the loss suffered each year at his studios owing to the scarcity of capable comedy directors, amounts to at least $200,000. On the date of the first session of the Roach school for directors, the statement was made to those assembled that production requirements of the Roach studios offers directorial berths double the number which the management has been able to fill satisfactorily.
"Among the directors who form the 'faculty' of the Roach school are: Bob McGowan, Charles Parrott, Ralph Ceder, George Jeske, J. A. Howe, Percy Pembroke, Fred Jackman, Len Powers, Robin Williamson, Roy Clements and Val Paul.
"'I do not look for the development of a director under our new plan for at least six months,' said Mr. Roach - who gives much of his own time to the school - 'but I feel we have the right idea, and the right instructors.'"
In August, the Edna Murphy serial "Her Dangerous Path" finished production.
Also in August, the Paul Parrott series was retired as Parrott (whose first name was actually James) was moved behind the camera.
Also in August, Charley Chase (aka Parrott) started his own series, which was initially part of the Hal Roach Comedies rotation.
In late August, Roach visited the East Coast to visit with Pathé executives and to tour exchange centers. As quoted in the Sep. 1st issue of Motion Picture News, Roach said: "I believe that we producers do not keep in as close touch with the exhibitors of the country as we ought to and it is the purpose of my tour of the exchange centers to meet as many exhibitors personally as possible, to find out just what they need in the way of short-subject entertainment to meet the demand of their patrons, and to tell them that I shall appreciate any suggestions they may be kind enough to afford me either now or in the future."
In September, the Snub Pollard series was retired.
In October, the first Glenn Tryon feature went into production.
On November 17th, Motion Picture News reported the following: "Hal Roach has something to say upon the question of proper footage for features. As a result of his conferences with exhibitors during a recent jaunt cross-country he has espoused the policy of a maximum of six reels in all his future feature activities. 'I believe there has been a tendency to make features too long,' say Roach. 'I probably will never make another picture of more than six reels. During my recent trip I put the question of length to a group of exhibitors. One man said it made little difference anyhow, as he always cut pictures down to six reels himself before showing them in his theatre. If there are even a few exhibitors who are going to cut pictures that are too long, I would rather apply the scissors at the studios instead of having wholesale chunks taken out where it might destroy the crux of the story.'"
On December 8th, Motion Picture News reported that Garrett Graham had been appointed publicity representative at the Roach studio. Also reported in the same issue was the election of W. B. Frank to the vice-presidency of the company. Frank was put in charge of all business activities in the East, and was due to leave for New York on Dec. 1st, where he would be stationed at the home office building of Pathé.
In December, the short-lived Fite series was launched.

1927

In January of this year, the last Rex the Wonder Horse feature finished filming.
On March 9th, F. Richard Jones resigned, to be replaced as director-general by Leo McCarey.
During the entire month of July, the studio was closed for summer recess.
Roach struggled with Pathé to be released from his contract, which wasn't set to expire until Sep. 1, 1930. In the summer, he sued Pathé over unfair distribution policies and finagled accounts, and the distributor countersued. The case wasn't resolved until 1932, but MGM took over distribution at the beginning of Sep. 1927.

On January 27th of this year, the stars of Hal Roach Studios were featured in a special edition of the radio program "Voices From Filmland" on CBS.

1934

The Our Gang series resumed production at the beginning of this year.
During this year, Roach entered into an agreement to produce some Our Gang films in two-strip Technicolor, but this idea never came to fruition.
The Musical series was retired this year, and the All Star series started to feature Irvin S. Cobb.
In the spring, Roach started another vacation which brought him to Alaska in June.
Included in Richard Lewis Ward's filmography is an MGM Musical Revue called "Jailbirds Of Paradise," which was released either on February 24th or March 10th. Ward includes it as part of Hal Roach's Musical series, but unless there were two films with this title, both released by MGM within a month of each other, then this is an error. The copyright catalogue includes only the MGM production, and the production numbers in Roach's 'M' series are all accounted for.

1935

After the Irvin S. Cobb shorts failed, Roach convinced MGM to distribute an All Star feature film called "Vagabond Lady," which led to more of the same in the future.
An announcement was made on March 16th that the Laurel & Hardy series had been terminated along with Laurel's contract. Due to start production on March 25th was a new series called The Hardy Family, featuring Oliver Hardy, Patsy Kelly and Spanky McFarland, with the first short to be entitled "Their Night Out." This project reached the script stage before Laurel came to terms with the studio on April 8th.
The last Laurel & Hardy shorts were produced early in the year, and they concentrated exclusively on features after that. The studio was now down to three short subject series: Our Gang, Charley Chase, and Thelma Todd & Patsy Kelly.
On June 21st, The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported the following: "The production of full-length comedies will be regularly undertaken by the Hal Roach studios. The announcement was made yesterday by Hal Roach, who took a flying trip to New York for consultation with Nicholas M. Schenck, president of M.G.M. For many years Roach has devoted his facilities to the making of two-reel comedies, with only occasional ventures into the longer form. For this purpose he has assembled a stock company including Charley Chase, Thelma Todd, Patsy Kelly, the Our Gang kids, with Spanky McFarland and Jimmy Finlayson. These will become the basis for his enlarged enterprises. The first feature comedy under this new policy will be 'The Honesty Racket,' written and directed by Mr. Roach."
Between September and November, an unfinished film called "Alone, Alas!" which was soon retitled "Three On A Bench," was in production. Midway through this period, it was assigned the production number F9. Six days of shooting took place in mid-November, with Jimmy Savo starring and the supporting cast including several of the Our Gang kids. Apparently, things weren't working out and filming was halted while the script was reworked for two weeks. Filming was never resumed, however, and the F9 production number was later repurposed for "Mr. Cinderella."
Thelma Todd died on December 16th.

1936

On January 16th of this year, Henry Ginsberg resigned and was replaced as general manager by David Loew.
Pert Kelton was brought into the series with Patsy Kelly, but was quickly replaced by Lyda Roberti.
In the spring, the Patsy Kelly & Lyda Roberti series and the Charley Chase series were retired. The Our Gang series was downsized to one-reel status. Otherwise, the studio concentrated on Laurel & Hardy features, and All Star features.

1937

Stan Laurel spent most of this year refusing to re-sign with Roach, and meanwhile formed his own company.
On March 4th, "Bored Of Education" won the Academy Award for Best One-Reel Short Subject of 1936.
On September 17th, it was announced that Roach was forming a new company with Vittorio Mussolini, son of the Italian dictator, to be called RAM (Roach and Mussolini). Controversy surrounding this venture brought about its premature end.
On October 8th, Roach signed a four-picture deal with Stan Laurel Productions, which brought about the reunion of Laurel & Hardy.
Also during this year, a Cinecolor short entitled "Daily Beauty Rituals" was filmed at the Roach studio, presumably by an independent company renting studio space.

On May 16th of this year, Roach signed a distribution deal with United Artists and by the end of the month, had sold the Our Gang property to MGM.

1941

After numerous flops in the feature market, Roach invented a new concept this year called the 'streamliner,' a cross between a feature and a short subject, which UA could market as the lower half of a double bill.
Roach also began to regularly rent out studio space to other producers at this time, a practice that would continue for the remainder of the studio's existence.
The studio also produced three training films for the Army during this year.

During this year, Roach was discharged from service, but couldn't initially start up any new productions, since the Army Air Force didn't vacate his studio until the end of the year. In the meantime, he made plans to produce new films the following year.

1946

On April 11th of this year, Roach started production on a new series of streamliners, but ran out of money in the early fall after completing just four of them.
Film Classics began to release a series of compilations entitled "Funz-A-Poppin' Comedy Carnival," which was made up of old Hal Roach shorts.

1947

On May 2nd of this year, Roach signed a new distribution deal with United Artists.

Hal Roach Comedy Carnival (executive producer): part 1: Curley; part 2: The Fabulous Joe; Aug. 23, 1947 - Roach/UA - 112 min. - Cinecolor - prod. F-54/56 - streamliner package; ©Aug. 29, 1947. Starring Frances Rafferty, Larry Olsen, Walter Abel, Margot Grahame. Part 1 went into production on Apr. 11, 1946, and is 6 reels. The two halves were subsequently released separately. "Curly" was combined with "Who Killed Doc Robbin" in the '80s to create two new films: The Adventures Of Curly And His Gang and Curley And His Gang In The Haunted Mansion.

1948

Roach and UA agreed to terminate their contract during this year. Shortly thereafter, Roach signed a 6-picture distribution deal with MGM, which was soon terminated. Ward stated that this happened when Roach couldn't raise money to produce films. The Associated Press in 1948, however, described it as Roach terminating the contract because he had decided to get into television.
At this point, the studio was still leasing its facilities to other production companies, which made up for the vast majority of production there. Among these companies this year was Sierra Pictures, which rented space at the Roach studio to film "Joan Of Arc." The only productions coming from the Roach company itself were occasional training or industrial films.
The November issue of Billboard reported a Roach pilot starring Stu Erwin, which eventually got sold as "The Stu Erwin Show" in 1950.
On December 22nd, the Associated Press reported that Roach was going to henceforth produce only for television, having given up the production of theatrical releases.

Superman (archival): Jan. 5, 1948 - Columbia - 2 reels - 15-chapter serial; ©July 15 to Oct. 5, 1948. This serial used some of the volcano footage from "One Million B.C."
Lafftime (executive producer): part 1: Here Comes Trouble; part 2: Who Killed Doc Robbin?; Mar. 15, 1948 - Roach/UA - 110 min. - Cinecolor - prod. F-55/57 - streamliner package; ©Apr. 9, 1948. Starring William Tracy, Joe Sawyer. The two halves were subsequently released separately. Part 1 is 6 reels. "Who Killed Doc Robbin" was combined with "Curly" in the '80s to create two new films: The Adventures Of Curly And His Gang and Curley And His Gang In The Haunted Mansion.

1949

By the beginning of this year, Roach was starting production on six television pilots. There were another 12 shows in the planning stages, but it isn't clear if any shooting took place for these. Roach was still trying to sell these pilots in 1952.
During this year, the Roach studio started renting studio space to television producers, including those that produced "Fireside Theatre," "The Lone Ranger" and "You Bet Your Life."

Sadie And Sally (producer/director): unaired - Roach - 30 min. - TV pilot; Apparently produced in 1949, but also listed for 1948. However, it appears that this pilot was still in the planning stages at the end of 1948. This show, starring Joi Lansing and Lois Hall, was basically a rehash of the Pitts-Todd and Todd-Kelly series. This film reportedly only took one day to shoot.
The Brown Family (producer): unaired - Roach - TV pilot; Produced in 1949. This was a sitcom (presumably 30 minutes) starring John Eldredge, Ann Doran, Carol Brannon and Billy Gray.
Botsford's Beanery episode: Botsford Wakes Up (producer): unaired - Roach - 26 min. - TV pilot; Produced in 1949. This was described as a slapstick comedy. Starring Don Barclay, Ann Triola and Candy Candido. Later aired as an episode of Hal Roach Studios Presents.
Foo Young (producer): unaired - Roach - TV pilot; Produced in 1949. Presumably 30 minutes, this was described as a Chinese comedy whodunit. It appears that this pilot finally aired on the ABC series Summer Theatre on July 10, 1953, and starred Iris Adrian, Edward Gargan and Richard Loo. Common threads are the description of the episode as a "comedy mystery,"and the presence of Gargan, who also appeared in "Puddle Patch Club," another of the 1949 pilots.
Puddle Patch Club episode: The Initiation (producer): unaired - Roach - 24 min. - TV pilot; Produced in 1949. This was an attempt to revive the Our Gang idea. The kids are Pinky (played by Billy Gray), Wheezer, Tubby, Drooper (played by Jackie Coogan, Jr.) and The Dude, and the dog's name is Pete. Edward Gargan played Officer Clancey, a sort of updated Edgar Kennedy. It appears that this was later aired as an episode of Hal Roach Studios Presents.
Our Main Street (producer): unaired - Roach - TV pilot; Produced in 1949. Presumably 30 minutes, this was a sitcom.
Two Knights In Brooklyn (executive producer): part 1: The McGuerins From Brooklyn; part 2: Taxi Mister; 1949 - Roach/Favorite - 75 min. - prod. F-47/51 - streamliner reissue package; Starring William Bendix, Joe Sawyer.

1950

At this time, the Roach studio was still mainly renting studio space to independent producers. Shows produced at the studio on a rental basis included "Beulah," and two shows produced by Hal Roach, Jr., "The Stu Erwin Show" and "Racket Squad." The Hal Roach company itself produced television commercials and industrial public relations films until late in the year when the "Magnavox Theater" films were made.

Union Oil (producer): 1950 - Roach - television commercial; Featuring Marilyn Monroe.
The Lost Volcano (archival): June 25, 1950 - Monogram - 67 min. - Bomba feature; ©June 25, 1950. This film used some of the volcano footage from "One Million B.C."
The Costume Designer (archival): July 13, 1950 - AMPAS/RKO - 9 min. - documentary; ©Dec. 31, 1949. This film used footage from "One Million B.C."
Magnavox Theater episode: The Three Musketeers: Nov. 24, 1950 - Roach/CBS - 60 min. - TV anthology episode; Filmed in the late summer or early fall of 1950. Featuring Robert Clarke, John Hubbard, Marjorie Lord. According to CBS, this was the first hour-long Hollywood film made for TV. Later shown in syndication and released to theaters in Sep. 1953 under the title The Sword Of D'Artagnan.
Magnavox Theater episode: Hurricane At Pilgrim Hill: Dec. 8, 1950 - Roach/CBS - 51 min. - TV anthology episode; Filmed in the late summer or early fall of 1950. Later shown in syndication and released to theaters in 1954 by Howco Productions.

1951

Film Classics' reissues of Roach product ceased during this year when the company went out of business.
Roach sold the television rights to his Our Gang backlog during this year.
Roach production was limited to television commercials and the syndicated series "The Children's Hour." Otherwise, most of the production at the studio was by independent companies renting studio space. Among the shows made by independent companies were "The Amos And Andy Show" and "The Abbott And Costello Show." Abbott and Costello also made a theatrical feature at the Roach studio entitled "Jack And The Beanstalk."

Two Lost Worlds (archival): Jan. 5, 1951 - Sterling/Eagle-Lion - 61 min.; ©Oct. 29, 1950. This film used footage from "One Million B.C."
Tales Of Robin Hood (producer): May 1, 1951 - Roach/Lippert - 60 min. - TV movie; ©Dec. 26, 1951. Filmed in the late summer or early fall of 1950. Previously shown in television syndication.
Jungle Manhunt (archival): Oct. 4, 1951 - Columbia - 66 min. - Jungle Jim feature; ©Sep. 24, 1951. This film used footage from "One Million B.C."
The Children's Hour (producer): 1951 - Roach - 60 min. - TV pilot; This was divided into four parts: The Clown, Hal Roach's Rascals, The Little People and a Bible story called The Stray Lamb. This was reported as being in production at the end of the year in Broadcasting Telecasting, so it may have debuted in 1952, or perhaps never aired. There's some indication that this became a syndicated TV series, but details are lacking.

1952

During this year, the Roach company began production on the TV series "My Little Margie." A radio version started in December, with different episodes, and lasted until the end of the TV run.
Roach was still trying to sell the six pilots he had made in 1949, along with a TV version of "Myrt And Marge," through the International News Services television department.

Myrt And Marge (producer): Early 1950s - Roach - TV pilot; This was among the pilots Roach was peddling during 1952.

1953

In January of this year, Hal Roach Studios formed a partnership with Harry Allen, resulting in Guild International Films, which was later renamed Guild Films, a company that was mainly involved in movie and TV distribution, but also did some limited production.
Roach Jr. started a company called Lincoln Productions, which was headquartered at the Roach studio. Plans for extensive feature film production resulted in only one film, "Captain Scarface."
Series filmed at the Roach studio by other companies included "I Am The Law," "Topper," "The Life Of Riley" and "You Are There."
Roach, Jr., owned a 50 percent share in the company producing "Duffy's Tavern," a TV series shot at the Roach studio. Since Hal Roach Studios are listed as the copyright holders, I've listed the copyrighted episodes (for early 1954).

1955

In February of this year, Hal Roach Studios was officially dissolved, with all of its assets purchased by Hal Roach Jr., who absorbed them into his own company, Hal Roach Enterprises.
In April, Hal Roach Enterprises changed its name to Hal Roach Studios.
Early in the year, Laurel & Hardy were signed up to do a series of four one-hour TV specials called "Laurel And Hardy's Fabulous Fables." This idea never reached production.
Apparently during this year, World Wide Trade Xchange distributed a TV show called Hal Roach Studios Presents, which finally aired at least some of the pilots made back in 1949.
Around this time, Roach was in negotiations to produce a new Little Rascals feature film with Allied Artists, but this never reached the filming stages.
Among the series produced by other companies renting space at the studio were "Where Were You?" and "So This Is Hollywood."

It was produced from 1954 to 1956, and first released into syndication in early 1955. There had also been a three-reeler with this title produced by the same company and copyrighted on May 11, 1954.

1956

A TV series called "Telephone Time" began to appear early this year, and is identified as a Roach production. However, the Copyright Catalog credits Passing Parade Films, Inc. with production for the earliest episodes, with the Roach company not taking credit until 1957. Because of this, I've only included the later episodes in this filmography. There is a good chance that the earlier episodes were filmed at the studio on a rental basis.
