Has anyone ever seen any of these cartoons?. It never surfaced in Britain in the 1960s-70s-80s-90s- but is now available on DVD. Apparently Rocky & Bullwinkle were phenomenally popular on American t.v. in the 1960s with a cult following. I've never seen any of these cartoons......:&
I loved R&B - with their wild narratives always taking the plot in the least predictable direction - and their gentle satire of American society and the Cold War... During much of my childhood it was the only TV I would watch, and after they were pulled off the air I refused to watch any TV at all! Now I am collecting the DVDs and watching them regularly.
There's great political and social humor in those cartoons. Boris built a gun that shot goof gas that made people stupid. He and Natasha went to Washington DC to take over the government and listened for a minute to the politicians wrangling at the Capitol. Natasha said, "Aren't you going to shoot them with the goof gas?" Boris replied, "Why should I. Someone already beat us to it." .
I love this show, truely one of my favorites. My mom used to watch it as a kid. i got some of the dvds. if you haven't seen it, you're missing out..
It was originally the Rocky The Flying Squirrel Show, but Bullwinkle kinda took over.... its a good one, and has alot of great humor! Fractured Fairy Tales, Dudley DoRight, and fame for Wassamatta U owe a debt to this show. I diggit!
