Adam: What a day! My mood is shining and the sun is elevated. Wait. Scratch that...then reverse it. I am one lucky dude. Three great kids, a beautiful wife and gainful employment. Sure. I'm getting older but I'm wiser and more mature. Maturity. That's right. I have responsibilities and I live up to them. Being mature is a sign of personal growth, of recognizing what really matters. Laura: Adam! How many times have I asked you not to leave your Rocky and Bullwinkle DVDs on the stairs!?

Hey people, we’re commenting on a comic/cartoon. Can we really accuse someone of being immature?

Maturity is over rated.
As my dad used to say: “I may grow old, but I’ll never grow up!”

Cartoons or responsibility? I choose cartoons. (life chose responsibility, so I hit the toons when I can.)

One of the most mature Saturday morning cartoons ever produced. Funny for kids and well informed adults. It was very well written for the time, has lost a lot of the edge it had in original context and time.

It wasn’t a Saturday morning show. It originally aired (as “Rocky and His Friends”) Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 PM (Eastern), and then moved to Sundays at 7:30. Adults were always at least PART of its target audience. I don’t know how old I was when I understood the groans occasioned by references to the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam (a jewel-encrusted bathtub toy boat), but I was certainly not a child.
I think it holds up very well, since when it was topical (Cold War themes, other political references) it was so in an oblique way. Interestingly I’ve read that, politically, Jay Ward and Bill Scott (the two men most responsible for the show’s tone) were very much opposites. One was a conservative Republican, and the other was a liberal Democrat (I forget which was which). Fortunately, they had compatible senses of humor, and whenever one would take a (friendly) poke at the one side it would be balanced by a poke at the other.

“If you have no funny comment about the cartoon, please don’t comment unless it’s positive about the people who do.”
So I would be allowed to write “LOL! i agree wtih you paprbuckte!” but not “paperbucket, your comment isn’t funny, isn’t about the cartoon, and is negative about others’ comments, so you’re simultaneously imposing a rule and breaking it”?
Just checking…

I have those too. Bullwinkle was a brilliant production.
