And, of course, my 2 fav heroes, Rocky & Bullwinkle! (I've always hated Boris & Natasha, and here we are... )

(68,657 posts)... we got see all the classic cartoons, even all the ones that are now considered politically incorrect. Penny showed the Three Stooges and almost got them banned until he agreed to say "We laugh at them, we laugh with them, but we don't do as they do.", at each showing. Cleveland moms really united against poking each others eyes and slapping. He realized how strong they were and started ending his shows with "You can fool some of the people all of the time, All of the people some of the time, but you can't fool mom!"
Loved Rocky and Bullwinkle, loved Beanie and Cecil. The writing for both was brilliant and if a kid listened, they could learn how to speak publicly. I learned my love of puns and wordplay from them.

(68,657 posts)... I used to cater Seder dinners at a synagogue in the Water Tower bldg in Chicago. One event I did was during Purim. The Rabbi and his eight year old son came as Rocky and Bullwinkle. With and eye-pencil mustache, the kid had a double breasted jacket and pulled off a good Boris. His dad had a great Bullwinkle costume. I think mom was an excellent seamstress.
