ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE AND FRIENDS: COMPLETE SEASON 2

Details

• Release Year: 1962
• Genre: Animation, Comedy, Family, Fantasy, Science-Fiction
• Plot: 'Complete Season Two' in original broadcast order - 52 half-hour shows!; ; 'Set your WABAC machine for 1960, and the further misadventures of Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose, the most illustrious citizens of Frostbite Falls, MN (population: 48; and that's during the summer rush). ; ; This four-disc set contains seven full-length serials, several of which loom large in the Rocky & Bullwinkle canon, including ''Upsidasium,'' ''Metal Munching Mice,'' and ''Greenpernt Oogle,'' with the rare, reclusive oogle bird (sorry, you'll have to wait until the release of season 3 for the Kirwood Derby). ; ; Perhaps emboldened by what they were able to get away with in season 1, producer Jay Ward, writer and the voice of Bullwinkle Bill Scott, Queen of Cartoons June Foray, ''and a host of others,'' gleefully further broke with television convention. Rocky & Bullwinkle was at once very silly (for the kids) and slyly satirical (for mom and dad). ; ; Characters broke the fourth wall (''Don't look at me,'' a villain insists at one point, ''I'm not giving up the plot''). Corporate America (television executives in particular) was mocked. In ''Metal Munching Mice,'' news that robotic rodents are devouring television antennae causes panic when it is realized that the public are unable to watch commercials. ; ; And then there are the subversively funny ''Fractured Fairy Tales,'' in which Puss 'n Boots gets skinned, Red Riding Hood is devoured, and no one lives happily ever after, and the time-travel adventures of cultured canine Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman, in which historical figures are revealed to be boobs. ; ; Just for laughs, there is the faux melodrama of forthright Mounty Dudley Do-Right, and the Bullwinkle segments, ''Bullwinkle's Corner'' and ''Mr. Know It All.'' Still crazy after all these years, Rocky & Bullwinklerises like the anti-gravity Upsidasium above mere nostalgia. Like The Simpsons, this series rewards viewers who pay attention, and invites repeat viewings to catch all the jokes you missed.'
