Back in the 60's, when people started worrying about cartoon violence, Hanna-Barbera started putting out cartoons that were supposed to teach something (usually with a NWO theme). I HATED those shows! Give me my anvils and wild takes!

Please. Hanna-Barbera lost it after the Magilla Gorilla/Peter Potamus shows' cartoons. (I'm surprised the anti-gun nuts haven't started beating on the tom toms to ban Ricochet Rabbit and his sneaky bullets - you know, the ones that would stop in front of the bad guys and display anything from oversized mallets to lariats to drill bits and saw blades - or Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse.) Though I still think the funniest H-B 'toon of them all was Top Cat.

I'll take my Acme Hours any old time. One Chuck Jones is worth a thousand Hanna-Barberas and as many Rocky and Bullwinkles.

You dare to say this about Rocky and Bullwinkle? Go wash your mouth out with soap!

I respectfully disagree. I'm a great fan of the Warners Brothers cartoons (Bugs is my all-time favorite cartoon character), but you are so wrong when you state that every one of their toons is superior to Rocky and Bullwinkle. Artistically and laughwise yes...but they were never as intelligent or witty as moose and squirrel.
