The Bullwinkle Show (1959)
Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends
Original title: Rocky and His Friends
I grew up on these presentations and am still growing upon them. There are no more children’s stories like “Alice in Wonderland”. What child knows of the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam? Or Apple Pandowdy. Many other references are over one's head as a child, but still just as much fun to watch.
The show follows a simple formula that starts with a series of cliffhangers starring Rocky and Bullwinkle. You are required not to miss any of the installments to keep track of what is going on.
Next in the formula, “Fractured Fairy Tales,” I am afraid that this is where I acquired my classical background. Many of the fairy tales have alternate endings. The narrator of the tales is Edward Everett Horton (Mr. Witherspoon) in “A-r-s-e-n-i-c and Old Lace.
Then we come to “Bullwinkle’s Poetry Corner” or “Mr. Know-it-All,” where he meets with many slapstick situations. Again, this is where I picked up my poetic background.
Then there is the hat trick (wrong hat), “Peabody’s Improbable Histories,” “Dudley Do-Right,” or “Aesop’s and Son.” Wrapped all up in 22 minutes with a concluding cliffhanger.
There are more characters in the shows than I can mention in the review, but they add to the viewers’ enjoyment, yet Gidney and Cloyd come to mind.
