RIP 
Watched the show growing up - and it never gets old! 
It was always the best for both the kiddies and adults, just like the best of all animated narratives.
The best were always Rocky and Bullwinkle plus Looney Toons. The rest pale in comparison.
I've loved and admired June Foray's work all my life -- and that's a long time. Her voices ranged from sweet ingenues to lunatic old witches, and everything in between--plus a well-known Russian spy and a flying squirrel. I'm so grateful for her many contributions to the soundscape of my era.
and was absolutely my favorite, at least millions of growing up sat down in front of the tube to watch and learn the intelligent stories that were produced and made you think.....................
RIP
