Absolutely! Rocky and Bullwinkle was brilliant. The whole thing taking place with the cold war/Spy vs. Spy underpinnings allowed them to, as you say, slide in enough adults humour to keep everyone happy. I still love watching it to this day. Mind you, it wasn't just the Cold War references that were hilarious to adults, as Mr. Peabody and Sherman and Fractured Fairy Tales were equally funny... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
