Rocky and Bullwinkle

[PictureGuy]

Are there any Rocky and Bullwinkle fans out there? The original run was from 1959 to 1961, although the show would be franchised for years. It ran under a variety of names: Rocky and His Friends, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Bullwinkle and Rocky, The Bullwinkle Show.

It was the brain child of Jay Ward, assisted closely by Bill Scott. One of them was a die-hard conservative and the other a die-hard liberal. I don't remember who was what. (I heard this years ago at a Jay Ward exhibition.) But together they created some of the best satire in TV history, hidden in a show made for children.

The animation was not that great, and the artwork was terrible. But the writing was first rate comedy. Those bad puns were priceless.

Then there were the voice actors, which included the narration of William Conrad, and character actor Edward Everett Horton reading Fractured Fairy Tales.
