Rocky and Bullwinkle Madness

When I watched this show as a kid, I thought it was the most boring cartoon ever...I didn't care for it. Maybe I wasn't paying attention to the story or anything.

The only thing I could remember from this show was the magic hat gag where Bullwinkle is trying to pull a rabbit out of his hat and either gets a tiger,rhino, or a lion. One time he pulled out Rocky!


I apologize for the bad sound quality in this video. This is the only one I can find.

Yesturday, I was watching a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode because I was bored and... oh boy! that was some kind of craziness I missed out! The stories are random and it didn't really make much sense! It was so crazy I actually laughed from watching! This is what I get from watching that show, ignoring it, then turning on a simpsons episode and start thinking it was the greatest thing ever. Nowadays, that show plus others are boring! Most of the stories are the same thing, nothing is exaggerated, theres more seriousness than fun(Family Guy is an exception to all this), and most dissapointing...nothing exciting ever happends!

One shock that came up to me is that June Foray and Bill Scott did most of the voices of the show! I wonder how it would of looked if Mel Blanc got in the act?


It's always a blast to watch real voice talents go at it in a cartoon show than watching some random bum go on it and ruin the fun. Which is also a quality to cartoons nowadays. They are just taking their normal voice and putting it on a cartoon character. When I see an actual voice talent, I feel like I'm looking at the character, but, when im looking at somebody else, I think of the guy who will put on a mcgruff costume and start yelling "hey kids! Im that Mcgruff guy!" You get the point, right?
