What a great political satire that show was. Loved it then. Love it now.

Rock and Bullwinkle was not really a kid's show. There were a lot of not so hidden message's in this "cartoon".

That was my favorite cartoon show as a kid. As an old adult now, I have R&B DVD's that I still enjoy. It was a two-level show: the adults enjoyed it on a whole different level that the kids. Great political satire.

I liked Rocky & Bullwinkle up until the 1980's.
There was almost no music in the actual cartoons,
except for the title sequences. I even remember
watching America's Funniest People, the spin-off
to America's Funniest Home Videos, and that show
just happened to be hosted by 2 people who often
immitated Rocky & Bullwinkle, themselves. The
sound effects in the cartoon series were a little
too repetative, though I loved the 11 Road Runner
shorts that used them. I think Warner Bros. should
release them on DVD to remind us of Alexander
Anderson Jr.'s creation of Rocky & Bullwinkle,
and the sounds that came with them all. Ny favorite
1960's Road Runner short is The Solid Tin Coyote.
