The current blanket title was imposed for home video releases over 40 years after the series originally aired and was never used when the show was televised; television airings of the show were broadcast under the titles of Rocky and His Friends from 1959 to 1961, The Bullwinkle Show from 1961 to 1964, and The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (or The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle or The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky) in syndication.

Supporting segments include ' (a parody of old-time melodrama), ' (a dog named Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman traveling through time), and 'Fractured Fairy Tales' (classic retold in comic fashion), among others.Rocky and Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor. Mixing, cultural and topical, and, it appealed to adults as well as children. It was also one of the first cartoons whose animation was outsourced; storyboards were shipped to Gamma Productions, a Mexican studio also employed. The art has a choppy, unpolished look and the animation is extremely limited even by television animation standards at the time, yet the series has long been held in high esteem by those who have seen it; some critics described the series as a well-written radio program with pictures.The show was shuffled around several times (airing in afternoon, and timeslots), but was influential to other animated series from to. Segments from the series were later recycled in the show.There have been numerous feature film adaptations of the series' various segments, such as the 2000 film, which blended live-action and computer animation; and the 1999 live-action film. Both films received poor reviews and were financially unsuccessful.

By contrast, an animated feature film adaptation of the 'Peabody's Improbable History' segment, was released to positive reviews in 2014. A animated series also based on 'Peabody's Improbable History', debuted on in October 2015.Another reboot animated series based on the main segment, premiered on on May 11, 2018.In 2013, Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show were ranked the sixth-greatest TV cartoon of all time. Contents.Background The idea for the series came from and, who previously collaborated on, based upon the original property The Frostbite Falls Revue.

This original show never got beyond the proposal stage. It featured a group of forest animals running a television station. The group included Rocket J. Squirrel (Rocky), Oski Bear, Canadian Moose (Bullwinkle), Sylvester Fox, Blackstone Crow, and Floral Fauna. The show in this form was created by Alex Anderson. Bullwinkle's name came from the name of a car dealership in Berkeley, California, called Bullwinkel Motors.

Anderson changed the spelling of the last two letters of the name and gave it to his moose.Ward wanted to produce the show in Los Angeles; however, Anderson lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and did not want to relocate. As a result, Ward hired as head writer and co-producer at Jay Ward Productions, and he wrote the Rocky and Bullwinkle features. Ward was joined by writers and; the latter eventually became head writer for. In a 1982 interview, Scott said, 'I got a call from Jay asking if I'd be interested in writing another series, an adventure script with a moose and a squirrel.

I said, 'Sure.' I didn't know if I could write an adventure with a moose and a squirrel, but I never turned down a job.' Production The series began with the pilot, Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Production began in February 1958 with the hiring of, Bill Scott,.

Eight months later, signed a deal to sponsor the cartoon program, under the condition that the show be run in a late-afternoon time slot, when it could be targeted toward children. Subsequently, Ward hired the rest of the production staff, including writers and designers. However, no animators were hired. Ad executives at, the advertising agency for General Mills, set up an animation studio in Mexico called S.A.

De C.V., originally known as Val-Mar Animation. This of the animation for the series was considered financially attractive by primary sponsor General Mills, but caused endless production problems. In a 1982 interview by animation historian Jim Korkis, Bill Scott described some of the problems that arose during production of the series:We found out very quickly that we could not depend on Mexican studios to produce anything of quality. They were turning out the work very quickly and there were all kinds of mistakes and flaws and boo-boos. They would never check.

Mustaches popped on and off Boris, Bullwinkle's antlers would change, colors would change, costumes would disappear. By the time we finally saw it, it was on the air. Network television: 1959–1982. See also:The show was broadcast for the first time on November 19, 1959, on the television network under the title Rocky and His Friends twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, following at 5:30 p.m., where it was the highest-rated daytime network program. The show moved to the network starting September 24, 1961, broadcast in color, and first appeared on Sundays at 7:00 p.m., just before. Bullwinkle 's ratings suffered as a result of airing opposite perennial favorite. A potential move to caused NBC to reschedule the show to late Sunday afternoons (5:30 p.m.) and early Saturday afternoons in its final season.

NBC canceled the show in the summer of 1964. It was shopped to ABC, but they were not interested. However, reruns of episodes were aired on ABC's Sunday morning schedule at 11:00 a.m. Until 1973, at which time the series went into syndication. An abbreviated fifteen-minute version of the series ran in syndication in the 1960s under the title The Rocky Show.

This version was sometimes shown in conjunction with The King and Odie, a fifteen-minute version of Total Television's. The King and Odie was similar to Rocky and Bullwinkle in that it was sponsored by General Mills and animated by Gamma Productions. NBC later aired Bullwinkle Show reruns at 12:30 p.m. ET Saturday afternoons during the 1981–1982 television season.On cable, the series had extended runs on (1992–1996), (1996–2002) and (early 2010s). Since the late 2000s, The Program Exchange has typically only licensed the series for short-term runs; nationally, the series has seen limited airings on (2009), (2012) and Boomerang (2013).Syndicated package.

The underlying rights are now owned by, which holds the library of predecessor companies and, and who in turn with copyright holder Ward Productions forms the joint venture Bullwinkle Studios, which manages the Rocky and Bullwinkle properties; Universal's purchase of Classic Media coincided with The Program Exchange's shutdown.Sponsor retained all United States television rights to the series. Two packages, each containing different episodes, are available. The syndicated version of The Bullwinkle Show contains 98 half-hour shows (#801–898).

The first 78 comprise the Rocky & Bullwinkle story lines from the first two seasons of the original series (these segments originally aired under the Rocky and His Friends title). Other elements in the half-hour shows (, of the Mounties, and short cartoons including and ) sometimes appear out of the original broadcast sequence. The final 20 syndicated Bullwinkle Show episodes feature later Rocky & Bullwinkle story lines (from 'Bumbling Bros.

Circus' through the end of the series, minus 'Moosylvania') along with Fractured Fairy Tales, Bullwinkle's Corner, and Mr. Know-It-All segments repeated from earlier in the syndicated episode cycle. Originally, many syndicated shows included segments of Total Television's The World of, but these cartoons were replaced with other segments when the shows were remastered in the early 1990s.

A package, promoted under the Rocky and His Friends name but utilizing The Rocky Show titles, features story lines not included in the syndicated Bullwinkle Show series.The most recently syndicated Rocky and His Friends package retains the 15-minute format, consisting of 156 individual episodes, but like The Bullwinkle Show, the content differs from the versions syndicated in the 1960s. The various supporting segments, including Fractured Fairy Tales (91), Peabody's Improbable History (91), and Aesop and Son (39) segments are syndicated as part of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, and 38 of the 39 Dudley Do-Right cartoons are syndicated as part of Dudley Do Right (sic) and Friends. Syndicated versions of the shows distributed outside of the United States and Canada combine the various segments under the package title Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends; it is this version of the show that is represented on official releases through DreamWorks Classics and the official online version sold at websites such as.Characters. From left to right: Rocky, Bullwinkle, and Captain Peter 'Wrongway' PeachfuzzThe lead characters and heroes of the series were, a flying squirrel, and his best friend, a dim-witted but good-natured moose. Both characters lived in the fictional town of Frostbite Falls, which was purportedly based on the real city of. The scheming villains in most episodes were the fiendish spies (a pun on ) and (a pun on ), forever attempting to 'catch Moose and Squirrel'. Other characters included, the dictator of the fictitious nation of and Boris and Natasha's superior, little green men from the Moon who were armed with scrooch guns;, the captain of the S.S.

Andalusia; various U.S. Government bureaucrats and politicians (such as Senator Fussmussen, a recurring character who opposed admitting and to the Union on the grounds of his own ); and the inevitable onlookers, Edgar and Chauncy. Structure When first shown on NBC, the cartoons were introduced by a Bullwinkle puppet, voiced by Bill Scott, who would often lampoon celebrities, current events, and especially, whose program was next on the schedule. Compared with the dim-witted and lovable moose that most fans of the series would grow up with, in this short-lived version Bullwinkle was portrayed as a sarcastic smart-aleck. On one occasion, 'Bullwinkle' encouraged children to pull the tuning knobs off their TV sets. ('It's loads of fun, and that way, you'll be sure to be with us next week!'

) The network received complaints from parents of an estimated 20,000 child viewers who apparently did just that. Bullwinkle told the children the following week to put the knobs back on with glue 'and make it stick!' The puppet sequence was dropped altogether. Scott later re-used the puppet for a segment called 'Dear Bullwinkle,' where letters written for the show were read and answered humorously. Four episodes of 'Dear Bullwinkle' are on the Season 1 DVD.Each episode is composed of two Rocky & Bullwinkle shorts that stylistically emulated early. The plots of these shorts would combine into spanning numerous episodes.

The first and longest story arc was consisting of 40 shorts (20 episodes). Stories ranged from seeking the missing ingredient for a rocket fuel formula, to tracking the monstrous whale Maybe Dick, to an attempt to prevent mechanical, metal-munching, moon mice from devouring the nation's television antennas. Rocky and Bullwinkle frequently encounter the two Pottsylvanian nogoodniks, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale.At the end of most episodes, the narrator, would announce two humorous titles for the next episode that typically were puns of each other (and usually related more to the current predicament than to the plot of the next episode). For example, during an adventure taking place in a, the narrator would state, 'Be with us next time for ' Is Better Than None,' or 'Snow's Your Old Man.' ' Such a 'This,' or 'That' title announcement was borrowed from radio shows produced in 1946–1950. The narrator frequently spoke with the characters, thus breaking the.Episodes were introduced with one of four opening sequences:. Rocky flies about snow-covered mountains.

Below him, hiking on a snowy trail, Bullwinkle is distracted by a billboard featuring his name, and walks off a ledge. He becomes a large snowball as he rolls downhill. Rocky flies to him and pushes against the snowball, slowing it to a halt at the edge of another cliff.

Bullwinkle pops out of the snowball to catch the teetering squirrel at the cliff edge. In a circus, Rocky is preparing to jump from a high diving board into a tub of water tended by Bullwinkle. However, when Rocky jumps, he ends up flying around the circus tent, while Bullwinkle chases after him carrying the tub.

As Rocky lands safely, Bullwinkle tumbles into the tub. This was the same intro used for the Buena Vista VHS series in the early 1990s. Rocky is flying acrobatically about a city landscape. Bullwinkle is high atop a flagpole painting, and is knocked from his perch as the squirrel flies. Rocky attempts to catch the plummeting moose with a butterfly net, but the moose falls through. Rocky then flies lower to find his friend suspended from a clothesline, having fallen into a pair of.

Similar to the previous opening, Rocky is again flying about the city. Bullwinkle is suspended from a safety harness posting a sign on a large billboard. He loses his balance as the squirrel zooms past him and tumbles off the platform. The moose lands on a banner pole mounted on the side of a building, and the recoil springs him back into the air. He lands on a store awning, slides down, and drops a few feet to a bench on which Rocky is seated. The impact launches the squirrel off the bench, and Bullwinkle nonchalantly catches him in his left hand to end the sequence.Episodes ended with a sequence in which a violent lightning storm destroys the landscape, appearing to engulf Rocky and Bullwinkle in the destruction and accompanied by dramatic piano music. The music would become more lighthearted, and the ground would scroll upward while the outlines of the heroes gradually appeared.

We then see a smiling sun overlooking a barren field which rapidly fills with until Rocky and Bullwinkle finally sprout from the ground. Supporting features The Rocky & Bullwinkle shorts serve as 'bookends' for popular supporting features, including:. ' ', a parody of early-20th-century and of the. Dudley Do-Right is a in constant pursuit of his nemesis, who sports the standard 'villain' attire of black top hat, cape, and large. This is one of the few Jay Ward cartoons to feature a background music track. As is standard in Ward's cartoons, jokes often have more than one meaning. A standard gag is to introduce characters in an irised close-up with the name of the 'actor' displayed in a caption below, a convention seen in some early silent films.

However, the comic twist is using the captions to present silly names or subtle puns. Occasionally, even the scenery is introduced in this manner, as when 'Dead Man's Gulch' is identified as being portrayed by 'Gorgeous Gorge,' a reference to professional wrestler. ' Peabody's Improbable History' features a genius talking dog named who has a pet boy named Sherman. Peabody and Sherman use Peabody's ' (pronounced 'way-back', spelled WAYBAC in season 1, episode 4, and partially a play on names of early computers such as and ) to go back in time to discover the real story behind historical events, and in many cases, intervene with uncooperative historical figures to ensure that events transpire as history has recorded. The term 'Wayback Machine' is used to this day in Internet applications such as Wikipedia and the to refer to the ability to see or revert to older content. These segments are famous for including a pun at the end. For example, when going back to the time of Pancho Villa, they show Pancho a photo of a woman and he promptly feels the urge to take a nap.

When Sherman asks why this is so, Peabody says that the woman's name is Esther, and whenever you 'see Esther' (siesta) you fall asleep. Peabody is named after a dog belonging to Scott's son John. Sherman is named after UPA director Sherman Glas.

' Fractured Fairy Tales' presented familiar fairy tales and children's stories, but with altered, modernized storylines for humorous, satirical effect. This segment was narrated by;, Bill Scott, Paul Frees, and an uncredited often supplied the voices. A typical example was their spin on 'Sleeping Beauty.'

In this version, the prince (a caricature of Walt Disney) doesn't wake up Sleeping Beauty; instead, he builds a theme-park around her ('Sleeping Beautyland'), and gets headlines in Variety magazine ('Doze Doll Duz Wiz Biz'). ' Aesop & Son' is similar to 'Fractured Fairy Tales', complete with the same theme music, except it deals with instead of fairy tales. The typical structure consists of Aesop attempting to teach a lesson to his son using a fable. After hearing the story, the son subverts the fable's moral with a pun. This structure was also suggested by the feature's opening titles, which showed Aesop painstakingly carving his name in marble using a mallet and chisel and then his son, with a jackhammer and raising a cloud of dust, appending 'And Son.' Aesop was voiced (uncredited) by actor and the son, Junior, was voiced by Daws Butler.

' Bullwinkle's Corner' features the dimwitted moose attempting to introduce culture into the proceedings by reciting (and acting out) poems and, inadvertently and humorously butchering them. Poems subjected to this treatment include several by ('My Shadow', 'The Swing', and 'Where Go the Boats'); 's; ', ', and '; 's '; and 'The Queen of Hearts'. Is performed with Boris as the pie man, but as a variation of the famous routine '. ' ' again features Bullwinkle posing as an authority on any topic. Disaster inevitably ensues.

' The Bullwinkle and Rocky Fan Club', a series of abortive attempts by Rocky and Bullwinkle to conduct club business. The fan club consists only of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, and Captain Peter 'Wrongway' Peachfuzz. These shorts portray the characters as somewhat out of character. ' ', short features on revisionist history as the title character would have imagined it; this was actually prepared for (and later shown on ).

Although the shorts were animated by the same animation company, Gamma Productions, they were produced for Total Television, rather than Ward Productions. These segments were packaged with pre-1990 syndicated versions of The Bullwinkle Show and appear in syndicated episodes of The Underdog Show, Dudley Do Right and Friends, and Uncle Waldo's Cartoon Show.Voices The following table summarizes which characters were voiced by which actor, as documented in the Frostbite Falls Field Guide and June Foray interview in the Complete Series boxed set, as well as Rocky and Bullwinkle-related sub-articles here on Wikipedia.ActorCharacter(s) voicedBullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, Fearless Leader, Mr. Peabody, Gidney, Mr.

Who would have ever thought, when this show came out, in 1959, that between this cartoon, and its successor, The Bullwinkle Show, that these cartoon characters would have five years of episodes?.kind of modelled in the old radio episodic format, I would say. I wonder if Jay Ward would have also been surprised that his creation had lasted that long. He had done Crusader Rabbit, back in 1949-TV's first animated show ever-but certainly that cartoon could not hold a candle to this one. From what I have read, there were no other cartoon TV series, up until this point, which had lasted 5 years (shortly AFTER this series began, The Flintstones ran 6 years-1960-1966). After Rocky, Bullwinkle (and Hanna Barbera's Flinstones) I think that it was EXTREMELY RARE that any animated series lasted 5 or more years.Until The Simpsons came along!.

The story that I have read, as to why Jay Ward switched the name, from Rocky and His Friends, to The Bullwinkle Show, is very simple. In 1961 the show switched networks. The new station would only pick the series up if Ward renamed it The Bullwinkle Show (for what reason, I will never know). The rest is history.
