Awesome thanks for posting.  The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was one of my favorites as a kid.  Nothing will ever beat Speed Racer though in my mind.   O0

I can think of 5 anime shows from back then that were better.  ;)

From 1959?

Considering when it aired the Rocky&Bullwinkle had many culturally subversive elements to it (allusions to psychedelics, fourth-wall transgressions, etc) and influenced a lot of creative cartoonists who followed. I think that the show's producers deliberately went for a lo-fi animation look to contrast with the layered writing, kind of like the original Simpsons short segments.

Do tell!  I'm always looking for good old stuff to watch on YouTube.   :)

I was always more into Bugs Bunny and the Loony Tunes gang. Somehow Rocky and Bullwinkle never quite captured my imagination. As an adult though, it was eye opening to see how much material in both series was directed at adults! Not to mention the total lack of political correctness you see, especially in the Loony Tunes cartoons. It's definitely different to watch these shows as a grown up. And pretty much still fun  8)

Speed Racer came out in Japan in the late 60s and in Murica' (fuck ya!) in the 70s.  at the time you had stuff like Star Blazers and Captain Harlock to watch.

Thanks for posting the link, besilarius. I remember watching the Rocky and Bullwinkle show every weekend in the early '60s. Dudley Do-Right was probably my favorite character of that series.

Peabody and Sherman using the Wayback Machine and messing with history was always good for a laugh.

Yes, they were.

Oh yeah!  Star Blazers and Force Five were definitely awesome.  I need to check out Captain Harlock because I've never heard of that one before.  Thanks!

Speed Racer must have come out in the US in the late 60's as well. After emigrating I lived in California from 66 to 70 and I remember watching Speed Racer while still there.
