18. A good deal of political and social commentary was contained in those shows.
During the atomic age of Plutonium bombs and newly-synthesized heavy metal elements, it was comic relief to watch Rocky and Bullwinkle outwitting their Soviet counterparts, Boris Badinov and Natasha, to secure the aloft "Upsydasium" mountain for our country. Viewers cheered our heroes when they addressed the global crisis wrought by the collection of boxtops and when they unmasked the seemingly imposing "Mr. Big" who demonstrated the power of public scares. Great multi-level entertainment for the entire family.
