So many of the Rocky & Bullwinkle voices were great characters themselves, that era is dying, and the only thing we now hear is screaming. How sad.

The Fractured Fairey Tales are now closer to home, unfortunately.

Sherman, set the wayback machine to 1965. I want to watch cartoons by "Tex" Henson, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Robert Clampett and Jay Ward.
Rest in peace, and thanks for all the laughs.

Here's to Frostbite Falls, George of the Jungle, and all the rest, source of such wonderful puns as "Edifice Wrecks" (a building demolition company) and "Moss O'Leum" (an Irish race car driver).
All the giants are leaving us (remember Chuck Jones?), and we are bereft.

The intelligence and wit in cartoons like Rocky and Bullwinkle and Bugs Bunny and Friends is a thing of the past. Those shows could be enjoyed by both children and their parents. The cartoons made today seem deadly serious, completely devoid of humor. ...A sad state of affairs.

Bullwinke, Rocky, Natasha NoGood, Boris Badenov, Dudley Do-right, Mr. Know-it-all (and Sherman), Snidley Whiplash .....what a great cast of characters.

The kiddos shouldn't even be allowed to watch the tube, but in a few years the ones that did as opposed to the ones who did "chores" and stayed away will be easy to spot.
The ones who "sat and watched all day" will be the ones asking over and over "which way to the food table".
Does the first movie, "The Time Machine" come to mind?

I hear you. Little monsters are being created. ....And humorless ones, to boot.

Sad sad news: but he and his characters will live beyond the grave.
Rest in peace.

I love Moose and Squirrel, I'm so sad. I used to shop at the Dudley Do-right Emporium on Sunset Blvd.

I met him several times (years ago). He seemed like a pleasant man (as was Chuck Jones).
As "Father Geek" (a man I know) says, Tex was always telling stories about his past at the different studios. Those who heard his stories have a way to remember their encounters with Tex. Those who didn't hear his stories have the cartoons to look back on.
June Foray (who worked with both Jay Ward and Chuck Jones) is still with us.
