After a long, long wait, the fourth season of this wild and wacky kids/adult cartoon series is finally available. Anyone who remembers the original broadcasts, with their gawky tongue-in-cheek artwork, their insanely implausible plots and their agonizing puns, will wonder why it took the producers so long to bring out this final collection. At least it is worth the wait. Strangely resembling the peculiar British lunacy of "The Goon Show" and "Monty Python--" although it aired long before either of those had American fans-- Jay Ward's cartoons drew on American popular culture dating from the 1950s all the way back to the 1890s. Some of his outrageous puns and gags might have gone over the heads of the kiddies, but the madcap action kept them happy, while the adults watching (and there were many) chortled over references to "Veronica Lake" (the shapely local pond where the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam was discovered) and Wassamatta U, the struggling institution of lower learning that staved off bankruptcy by recruiting Bullwinkle the Moose as a football quarterback. Still funny after all these years? You betcha. Dated? Not as long as any of its original fans are still around.Read full review
Just as funny and engaging this time around as it was the first time. I remember the humor differently - probably due to my age. Some of the jokes/puns are specific to the time it was created but never takes anything away from today's fun. June Foray is still my favorite voice actor!

I watched Rocky & Bullwinkle as a kid. I still enjoy the humor and animation today. I just need season 5 now to complete my set.
