Thomas remained in Our Gang when the series changed production from Hal Roach Studios to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1938. The 'Buckwheat' and 'Porky' characters both became known for their collective garbled dialogue, in particular their catchphrase, 'O-tay!' originally uttered by Porky, but soon used by both characters. Thomas had a speech impairment as a young child, as did Lee, who became Thomas's friend both on the set and off. During the first half of his Our Gang tenure, Thomas's Buckwheat character was often paired with Eugene 'Porky' Lee as a tag-along team of 'little kids' rallying against (and often outsmarting) the 'big kids', George 'Spanky' McFarland and Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer. Thomas remained in Our Gang for ten years, appearing in all but one of the shorts, Feed 'em and Weep (due to sickness fellow child actor Philip Hurlic filled in for him), made from Washee Ironee in 1934 through the series' end in 1944.

In his Classic Movie Guide write-up for the film, Leonard Maltin surmises that 'Buckwheat's role as slave in search of a master may displease contemporary audiences.' The reason for the change in appearance was so he could portray, in the 1936 Our Gang feature film General Spanky, a five-year-old slave asking men on a riverboat and, subsequently, shoeshine boy Spanky, 'You be my master?'. This new costuming - overalls, striped shirt, oversized shoes, and a large unkempt Afro - was retained for the series until the end. Дespite the change in the Buckwheat character's sex, Billie Thomas's androgynous costuming was not changed until his appearance in the 1936 film Pay as You Exit. This is similar to the initial handling of another African-American Our Gang member, Allen 'Farina' Hoskins, who worked in the series during the silent and early sound eras. After Stymie's departure from the series later in 1935, the Buckwheat character slowly morphed into a boy, first referred to definitively as a 'he' in 1936's The Pinch Singer. Despite Thomas being a male, the Buckwheat character remained a female-dressed as a Topsy-esque image of the African-American ' pickaninny' stereotype with bowed pigtails, a large hand-me-down sweater and oversized boots. Thomas began appearing as 'Buckwheat' with 1935's Mama's Little Pirate. The 'Buckwheat' character was a female at this time, portrayed by Our Gang kid Matthew 'Stymie' Beard's younger sister Carlena in For Pete's Sake!, and by Willie Mae Walton in three other shorts.

Billie Thomas first appeared in the 1934 Our Gang shorts For Pete's Sake!, The First Round-Up, and Washee Ironee as a background player.
