it is all true but this "Joe Doakes" should be Ransom E Olds.

Yeah, so true. I used to really enjoy those cartoons of that era. They always seemed to teach honorable moral values, as did the television programs in general. Just think about Andy Griffith, the Rifleman, My Three Sons, Bonanza, etc. I could go on and on and on....

i was heavily influenced by little house on the prairie, waltons, Brady bunch, and definitely dukes of hazard.

sure glad they did not use oldsmobiles in that show. i would not be able to watch them now.

Great nostalgic cartoon that is so true to what's going on.
More people should see it.

Because people are watching, pizzed and actively fighting the "ism"ists. Relaxing is NOT the thing to do.

Yep! I'd hate to say goodbye to the best Olds site (other than a '65-specific!) on the net 'cause people can't separate politics & their personal beliefs from their car (Olds) hobby!
ROP has already seen the last of me!

You don't need a gun to your head to recognize bad taste and poor conduct.
