I am a Rocky and Bullwinkle fan and Jay Ward was an expert of skating them past the censors.

Rocky and Bullwinkle - how many kids cartoons can pull off deadpan jokes about the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám? Only one.


It's been years since I watched it, but I really loved the Banana Formula episodes.

Edited to add: I can't think of any kids shows that slipped more past the censors than the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon Rocko's Modern Life. Just constant masturbation references. A lot of the stuff was cut out when it was released on dvd.

Chokey Chicken??? Now who would think....

Curly Howard story is even worse. He had a series of strokes at the height of his and the 3 stooges popularity. Moe always blamed Harry Cohen for making Curly come back to work after the first strike too early. He was in a nursing home while Shemp and the Stooges were one of the hottest acts in the world.

Where my ‘Shemp’ fans at?

The thinking man's stooge. I think he gets a bad rap. I think it's important to consider that by the time Shemp rejoined the Stooges, the budgets had been cut quite a bit from the early days. They were always done on the cheap, but in the early days you at least had out door scenes. There was a lot more reliance on reused scripts and footage, too. The overall quality of the shorts had diminished which makes Shemp's performances all the more impressive to me. Especially considering that he was in his 50s when he rejoined. It can't be easy doing pratfalls at that age.


p.s. the real question is, are there any Joe Besser fans out there? I have my doubts.

Hehe. Can’t say I liked him too much. There was another guy too when they went to color movies, just looked it up. The clips I saw he was fairly horrible. They worked a long time. Until 1970!

They never fully explained why Curly wasn't there anymore and people didn't think he was as funny. Which was true anyway.
