As with so many TV shows and movies from my childhood, my appreciation has deepened as I age.

Somehow I don't see this happening to my kids, as they fondly recall Beavis and Butthead. South Park, maybe.

This was such a great show. I remember my dad explaining to us the stuff that went over our heads.

I can still get a laugh from Mr. Sphinx by saying, "Moose and Squirrel" in my best Russian accent.

I remember the whole variety show, but Rocky & Bullwinkle was the indispensable component.

I think I remember that article (or others like it) from when June Foray died a few years ago.
