Abysmal film spin-offs cant diminish the witty charm of Jay Wards satirical animated series starring the plucky flying squirrel and the goofy moose. Theres cliffhanging Cold War antics with no-goodniks Boris and Natasha, nitwit mounty Dudley Do-right and time-travelling dog Mr. Peabodys Improbable History.
While an endearing cultural artefact for Baby Boomers who remember the catchphrases (Fan mail from some flounder?), its still relentlessly silly fun for the younger set.
