I enjoyed /The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle/ -- once I realized
that it had captured the essence of the show. That is, that it /felt/
like the original. And Boris/Natasha planning to settle down and raise
"the nastiest children in the world" was an unexpected extension of
their characters.

I never liked either "The Flintstones" nor "The Jetsons" TV shows. I
never saw the Flintstones movie (well, certainly not the live-action
one) and am unlikely to see the Jetson's.

But Jim Carrey I have seen, in several films. While I can't say this
is always a good thing to do, several of his films were enjoyable. l
may even have one in my DVD collection, who can say?
