Perhaps it appears on cable, occasionally, but I have not had cable in years. Over the last few decades I have thought, many times, that I would love to see Roger Ramjet at least one more time. I just could not believe, for the rest of my life, that I could never find it anywhere on TV again. It was a welcome, very pleasant diversion for me, right before I was whisked off to church by my parents. Eventually it was moved to Sunday mornings. For a long time it came on late afternoons Monday through Friday. I loved the voices and I remember really relishing the story lines back then. All I know, however, is that I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this cartoon at the time. Since I was under 10 years old (when Roger Ramjet re-runs were apparently permanently banished from my area), it is possible that some of the folks, with the more negative reviews, may be correct. It is possible that some of the artists who worked for Jay Ward also worked for Pantomime Pictures (I know that some of Ward's artists had worked for Total Television Cartoons-which brought us Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog). Perhaps part of this was because it reminded me of the animation for Jay Ward cartoons (which I always liked). I think that by 1968 or 1969, it just totally disappeared from the viewing area where I grew up (Southeastern Pennsylvania not far from Philadelphia). I caught it in re-runs one to three years after it debuted. I do not remember this cartoon extremely well. Cadet leadership and participants take every measure to reduce and eliminate dangerous situations. All of these activities have some element of danger, and this risk is increased because of the young age of cadets. None of them were used on Rocky and Bullwinkle. The Cadet Program offers many challenging activities to the Army, Sea and Air Cadets. I also took a gander at the cast of voices. I am reading the "bible" of Jay Ward cartoons right now, "The Moose That Roared" and this book clearly states which cartoons were and were not part of Jay Ward (and this one was not). This was produced by Patomime Pictures, headed up by Fred Crippen.

As far as what this author from my hometown said about Rocky and Bullwinkle and Jay Ward-Roger Ramjet was not produced by Jay Ward and Bill Scott who put together Rocky and Bullwinkle. Very interesting that the author of the commentary at the very top of the page (at least at the top of the page as of late December 2002) is from the same city as I! Equally interesting that none of the commentaries go back any earlier than 2001 or 2002.
