Season 5 episodes!
If you have been collecting the seasonal sets 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 like me, then you will want to pass on this.
First a quick word about these later seasons:
SEASON 4 - only 19 new half hour shows were produced. The rest of the season was filled out with re-runs.
SEASON 5 - NO new half hour shows were produced. BUT 66 new 3.5 minute Rocky & Bullwinkle segments were produced to be inserted into older shows, replacing the older Rocky & Bullwinkle segments. Thus 33 half hour shows were created for the 5th season re-using the secondary cartoons from previous seasons.
Each of the three stories starts out with one opening title section from season 2, a brief Rocky & Bullwinkle intro. And then the story chapters, uncut but with out the individual intros. Midway through we break for a Bullwinkle Fan Club or Bullwinkle's Corner segment, then back to the story. At the end of each completed story is a set of end credits based on the second season credits, but...
Three more stories
In all, there were 28 Rocky and Bullwinkle serials, from the 40 episode Jet Fuel Formula to the 4 episode Moosylvania Saved, 326 episodes in all. The three complete seasons available on DVD served up the first 13 serials, a total of 222 episodes. You can pick up one new 4 episode story on The Best of Rocky and Bullwinkle. This DVD contains three serials in 14 chapters, "Pottsylvania Creeper", "Moosylvania", and "Moosylvania Saved". Just 11 more serials (86 episodes) to go.
Classic & sophisticated used-to-be's.
Ah ... Boris & Natasha ...
How clever, how witty are these ' cartoons '! Visuals great for kids with writing & resident witty lines - complete with terrific voices/accents - that tickle the intellect of adults.
As good as cartoons get. Right up there with Mel Blanc/Chuck Jones among the stars of simple, wonderful & pleasant entertainment for anyone !
Too bad these things aren't among us today as commonly as they were back when ... !
