I just got to thinking...
Sid and Marty Krofft were celebrated earlier this year, not only because of the Land of the Lost movie, but 1969 kicked off their legacy of large-headed, acid-trippy puppets with high-concept television shows, beginning with H.R. Pufnstuf.
And of course, Sesame Street is celebrated right now, as it's been on the air for 40 years, and made a big difference in children's education.
But it just now occured to me... Rocky and Bullwinkle aren't getting any love this year... this year marks their 50th anniversary, TV Guide not only named them one of the greatest animated shows of all time, but the duo also made number three in TV Guide's Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of all time. So, with them being so great an all, how come nobody is recognizing their anniversary as well?
EDIT: Well, I forgot WGN America DID add them to their Saturday night lineup for a few weeks, but still...
