Smart Cartoons

[Brandyman]

Just saw a Rocky & Bullwinkle (1964-ish). In Season 2, episode 21 (I think), our nation is being ridded of its citizens so that "Boris Badenov" & Co. (the Russians, or Communists) can take over. This is done by first getting control of American television -- every set in every home! The bad guys send these robot mice to chew up all TV antennas on rooftops everywhere, and so, presumably now bereft of suitable entertainment, all citizens are being propagandized to leave the country for other countries where the pleasures of TV are still to be had. So now...mice? Commies? 1964? Control over TV/advertising? Hmm...
