>>Always reminds me of certain zoners

there are many

that was my nickname

There was a time in my 20's when I thought of changing my name to Rocket J. Squirrel; I gave it up since the hassle was bigger than my commitment to the name.

Oh, that Rocky....what an actor!

Used to faithfully watch as many episodes as possible when I was 3-8 years old.  There were always 'cliffhangers' but the TV station did not always play the episodes in sequence.  Fortunately I acquired a batch of VHS episodes just a few years back.

Amazing the amount of wry humour that went over my head as a kid.  Sherms & the Professor are great also.

Some of the R&B plots are quite elaborate and intricate, although absurd.  I think that the main scriptwriter must have been from Jerseyland.  There's always references to obscure Jerseyland towns in there.
