Obviously, the best cartoon series were Jay Ward's ROCKY & BULLWINKLE and GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE and all their various permutations and repertoire of characters within those shows. I used to have a T-shirt bought at the Dudley Do-Right Emporium on Sunset Blvd. with the slogan from Super-Chicken, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred!" I also remember fondly, Crusader Rabbit, Beany & Cecil, & Tom Terrific (and his dog, Mighty Manfred). There was nothing better than the Bugs Bunny show, but it was, of course, recycled movie cartoons...not ones made specially for TV.
Of the newer breed, The Simpson is consistently brilliant and SOUTH PARK is the most hysterically funny,dead-on, incisive satire on TV...and timely, this past week they were doing a satire on the whole right-to-die thing and bringing up the question that no one bother to bring up during the Shivao incident...If the question of life and death is in God's hands, then aren't tubes and machines keeping a person alive artificially that God wants dead. If an animal in the wild can't feed itself, it dies. Nature's way. So instead of erring on the side of life; shouldn't we be erring on the side of nature and letting it take its course?
