The Bullwinkle Show (1959 - 1963)

In this comical retelling, the long-haired Rapunzel lets her hair down, but things don’t go quite as planned. As suitors attempt to climb the tower, Rapunzel’s long locks lead to a series of humorous entanglements, giving a playful twist to the classic fairy tale.

Bullwinkle recites Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem The Swing, capturing the joy and thrill of swinging through the air. As Bullwinkle shares the poem, his attempt to demonstrate the fun of swinging leads to a series of amusing mishaps, turning the serene imagery of the poem into a lighthearted adventure.

The origins of Mr. Peabody and the WABAC machine: Mr. Peabody finds Sherman in the street being beaten up by some bigger boys. At first, he doesn't think that he's the right sort of boy- but when he sees how he is treated in the orphanage, Peabody decides to adopt him. At first, there's a problem when they won't let a dog adopt a boy- but he goes to court, and the judge decides that if a boy can have a dog, then a dog can have a boy! Sherman comes to live with Mr. Peabody, who builds him the Wayback Machine in order to keep him busy. They go back in time to Rome, and then to see Ben Franklin.

Because the rocket fuel recipe had been torn apart in the explosion, Bullwinkle knows how much but not what of, so he and Rocky set to work in their government laboratory, while at universities all over the country, cake baking is being added to the scientific curriculum. Meanwhile, after failing in an attempt to time-bomb the Moose, Boris and Natasha do what any intelligent, self-sufficient spy with real initiative would do: They wait for instructions!

Those little green men holding extremely ominous-looking weapons aren't congressmen, as Bullwinkle first surmises--they're Gidney and Cloyd, reluctant visitors from the moon, here to keep an invasion of earth tourists from cluttering up their homeland. Indeed, just to prepare for their visit, the two have had to practice dodging traffic, listening to jukeboxes, filling out forms, and breathing smog! Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha, twelve stories up, with a heavy safe as our heroes stroll by below, finally receive orders from headquarters: KILL MOOSE!

In this humorous retelling, Puss uses his wits and charm to turn his master, a poor miller’s son, into a wealthy noble. However, in this version, Puss faces a series of unexpected obstacles as his clever plans begin to unravel, leading to a series of comical misadventures. The story playfully explores how even the best-laid schemes can go awry, with Puss still managing to come out on top—just not quite as smoothly as planned.

Bullwinkle reads and performs the classic nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffett, with Rocky taking on the role of the spider. As Bullwinkle portrays Miss Muffett sitting on her tuffet, the scene quickly turns into a comical back-and-forth between him and Rocky, with the spider causing far more chaos than fright.

Peabody and Sherman travel to 1810 and meet a frustrated Napoleon, who is missing his royal suspenders, causing chaos in his court. Peabody and Sherman must recover the suspenders from pirates, but upon returning, they find that everyone is secretly pleased with Napoleon being distracted. The episode humorously plays with Napoleon’s famed ego and the unexpected relief of his court when he's preoccupied.

Whoops. The actual orders said, “*DON'T* KILL MOOSE," so Boris races the safe to keep Bullwinkle safe, and it's safe to say that he *almost* makes it. It's back to the laboratory for our heroes, where they turn out acres of cinnamon pizzas and hot fudge strudels, but none of it’s explosive. Just as Rocky's thinking hypnotism might be something to try, Swami Ben Boris and his assistant appear, putting Bullwinkle into a trance and, forthwith, the moose tells *everything* he knows—all about his early years in the Minnesota woods, his days at the Philpott School for Exceptional Children (he was the only student with antlers), his experiences in the army, where for three years, he served as a hat rack in the Officers’ Club—going on for a full twelve hours and boring everyone within hearing distance into dreamland, so that when he finally gets to the part about the recipe, the only ones awake to hear it are the two moon men. Forthwith, Cloyd raises his weapon and scrooches the big moose!

The scrooch gun has frozen Bullwinkle solid, and Cloyd and Gidney start off with their moosesicle as a trophy of their visit to a small planet, but Boris comes to in time to con them into leaving Moose for him, while they get Squirrel, the brains of the operation. While the moon men are telling Rocky they can't remember if they've scrooched Bullwinkle for eight hours or eight years...WHISK! Eight hours later, Bullwinkle thaws out in Boris's laboratory, where every word he says is monitored in another country by a faraway band of ominous spies.

A little fisherman goes out to fish and nets a mermaid. After the man gives in to her pleas to be let go, the mermaid is willing to grant him wishes for his kindness. After she mends his net, he tells his wife about it all. The fisherman's wife asks him to ask the mermaid for a new apron. This then snowballs into grander wishes till his wife attains Queen-like status. Overcome with power, she demands that her husband wish her to be a goddess. Upon meeting the mermaid again, she asks if he himself has any wish of his own. His one wish is that his wife be happy. His last wish spent, he returns to his ordinary little home and lives happily ever after.

Bullwinkle recites the poem about the little boy who blew his horn, but his telling is filled with humorous misinterpretations and unexpected mishaps.

With the battle looming, Peabody steps in to help Lord Nelson solve the dilemma and get his fleet ready for action, ensuring that history stays on course.

Every move the moose makes is duplicated in the faraway spy lab. Bullwinkle cooks up some tasty chocolate pan dowdy that blows up when the spies try it, and when Rocky smells the delicious aroma, it leads him right to Bullwinkle, but Boris is ready with a helpful trapdoor that sends the plucky squirrel falling into another stew!

Rocky's blown away all right, out to sea in a leaky hot air balloon courtesy of Boris Badenov. Meanwhile, an anxious nation and two anxious moon men are searching for the missing moose, who's still baking away in Boris's secret laboratory. By going door-to-door to every house in the country, Gidney and Cloyd eventually turn up there, so Boris and Natasha quickly throw them a surprise party complete with knockout punch, while back out over the stormy seas, lightning strikes Rocky's balloon, sending it plunging.

In this amusing version, Goldilocks learns the hard way about the consequences of misusing other people's property. As she tries out the bears' porridge, chairs, and beds, things quickly go awry, leading to a comical series of events that ultimately teach her a valuable lesson about respecting others' belongings.

Bullwinkle recites the classic poem about boats, but adds his own spin by telling a humorous story about his experience riding on a boat. His version, filled with whimsical mishaps and unexpected turns, turns the serene journey into a comical adventure on the water.

Peabody and Sherman travel to Dodge City, where famed sheriff Wyatt Earp is unable to face the outlaw "Aces Wilde" in a gun showdown due to a string of bad luck and a leg injury. With Earp out of commission, Peabody steps in to take on the outlaw, using his intelligence and quick thinking to settle the showdown and restore order in the Wild West.

Fortunately, Bullwinkle offers the wrong toast—"To crime!"—and Boris and Natasha, official bad guys that they are, are obliged to drink up, gulping down their own knockout punch; meanwhile, the flying squirrel is being used for target practice by the U. S. Navy, until quick-witted Rocky uses the smoke from the aircraft fire to spell out the phrase "U. S. Taxpayer" and, of course, the Navy needs every one of those that it can get. Soon Rocky finds Bullwinkle, and just as our heroes are about to leave with the moon men, a grateful U. S. government responds by arresting them!

Yes, the government agents who've arrested our heroes are waiting for two spies. If it's not Rocky and Bullwinkle, it must be those two funny-looking green guys, reasons Special Agent Iris T. Upthecreek, but when he tries to take the moon men into custody, he's scrooched...for a full fifty years, which creates a tiny problem until Rocket J. hits upon the idea of putting the scrooched agent on a pedestal, right in front of the National Security Building, while he slowly thaws. Meanwhile, the moon men have become media darlings, with pointed heads all the rage, and they're even given the keys to the city (they're delicious). Cloyd and Gidney respond to all this flattering attention by heading back to their spaceship for a little peace and quiet, but ensuring that same peace and quiet on the moon means keeping Grandma Moose's recipe out of earthling hands, so it looks as if our heroes are going to be forced to go lunar themselves.

In this comical version, the forgetful Giant can’t remember his famous saying, which allows Jack to outsmart him and make his escape. The Giant's constant memory lapses lead to a series of humorous situations, turning the classic tale into a lighthearted and amusing adventure.

Bullwinkle recites the classic poem My Shadow, but things take an unexpected turn when his shadow comes to life and begins to cause trouble. Instead of quietly following him around, Bullwinkle's shadow starts a comical fight, leading to a chaotic and amusing battle between Bullwinkle and his mischievous shadow.

Peabody and Sherman arrive in King Arthur's kingdom to find things in disarray, as a dragon is terrorizing the land and the knights are too weak to fight. With no traditional solution in sight, Peabody devises a clever new strategy using Sherman's bubble gum to outwit the dragon and restore peace to the kingdom.

Up and up they go, and then down and down: Cloyd and Gidney are out of fuel, or is that fudge cake? Because Boris and Natasha have absconded with their last fuel tank, the moon men have no choice but to tell Rocky the recipe, and they're just one ingredient short: mooseberry juice, which grows in only one place in the entire nation, and that hard-to-find spot just happens to be Rocky and Bullwinkle's hometown, *Frostbite Falls, Minnesota* (population twenty-three). Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha, those two creeps in the deep, board a midget submarine.

Boris has plenty of medals—for burning down orphanages, for kicking small dogs, for taking candy from babies—so why isn't he happier? He's forgotten something, he's certain, but can't remember what it is until he gets his orders: KILL MOOSE! So, of course, he and Natasha put the sub on autopilot, slip into breathing apparatus, and swim straight back to the U. S. of A. Meanwhile, our heroes are finding it tough to get to Frostbite Falls, so they head off to the nearest airfield to rent a cut-rate private plane, where they immediately find Ace Ricken-Boris, whose motto is *Fly Now, Pray Later.* Rocky wants to do some square business, but all Ace Ricken-Boris is offering are round trips for eighty-five cents per, which just happens to be all the money Rocky and Bullwinkle have. Is Ace really wild about flying them to Frostbite Falls, dollink, or is that vaguely familiar, vampy stewardess strapping our heroes into a flying casket?

In this playful retelling, the Beast is under a spell that can only be broken by a kiss from a beauty. However, finding someone willing to kiss the Beast proves to be more difficult than expected, leading to a series of humorous and unexpected situations as the Beast tries to break the curse.

The auto-controlled spy sub goes slightly out of control, blowing up an entire foreign port. Meanwhile, after fastening Rocky and Bullwinkle into one-way seatbelts, stewardess Natasha bails out, while Boris gleefully smashes instruments in the pilot's compartment. It looks like a smash landing ahead.

A last-second reconsideration of orders from headquarters (the message didn't say KILL MOOSE; it actually read DON'T KILL MOOSE) means Boris has to save Rocky and Bullwinkle, whose brilliant idea to retrieve the last mooseberry bush on Mooseberry Island (SWIM THE RIVER!) has one tiny flaw (Bullwinkle doesn't know how to swim!).

As a result, they assign him the daunting task of confronting real giants, leading to a series of comedic and absurd misadventures as the clever but reluctant tailor tries to live up to his exaggerated reputation.

Bullwinkle recites the poem "Taffy." However, in the telling of the story, Boris (in the role of Taffy) begins to "bend and ad-lib" his parts. For example, instead of stealing "a piece of beef," Taffy steals a whole cow. Bullwinkle gets upset as the poem is changed, and he thinks that he's got Boris with the last line of the poem. ("I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed. I took a marrow bone and hit him on the head.") However, upon arriving, Boris takes the marrow bone and hits Bullwinkle in the head, giving the story an unhappy ending, much to Boris' delight.

Despite going over Thundering Falls, Bullwinkle, by remaining cuke as a coolcumber, manages to snatch the last available mooseberry bush in the entire country, but a federal plant inspector with a familiar accent turns up, spraying the precious bush for blight, and forthwith, he and the bush disappear behind the huge cloud.

From Frostbite Falls, it's across a couple of the Great Lakes and portage through downtown Chicago, as the Great Canoe and Leaky Retrofitted Airplane Race is on! It's stroke-stroke-stroke and bail-bail-bail as the pursuit continues down ever more tiny waterways! And finally on one foggy evening, as they approach Washington, D.C., the two competing vessels are so close that—stroke-bail, bail-stroke—their echoes are even writing their own dialogue! But our heroes, prompted by some dastardly sign rewriting, take the wrong turn, heading toward the hideously whirling blade of a sawmill just ahead. Will it be Two for the Ripsaw, or, is it Good-bye, Mister Chips?

It's getting choppy out there all right, but even though the whirling blade cuts their little vessel in two, our heroes escape unscathed because...they're sitting on opposite sides of the craft! Rocky and Bullwinkle return to their laboratory in something less than triumph, booed by the fickle citizenry just because they've lost the mooseberry bush, while Boris and Natasha get ready to set sail for their homeland.

Aesop tells the classic fable of the lion who spares a mouse, only to be saved by the tiny creature later. As always, Aesop's son questions the moral, leading to a witty and humorous exchange.

If only they knew the whereabouts of another mooseberry bush! Perhaps the moon men will tell them, but when our heroes go to New York to call on Gidney and Cloyd, all they find is a theatrical newspaper with the headline: MOON MEN SOCKO IN LOS WAGES! BOFFO B.O.! Sure enough, Bullwinkle baby, the moon men have gone Hollywood, but they take time out from taking bows to take a long-distance call backstage and clue the moose in: There's a mooseberry bush to be found in Pottsylvania, a menacing little land that just happens to be where Boris and Natasha are from!

Andalusia,* plowing her way through the seas to Pottsylvania, Bullwinkle sits basking on the deck next to a taciturn old gentleman, Sir Thomas Lipen-Boris—Uncle Chumley, actually—the purloined mooseberry bush in disguise! Meanwhile, Boris is boring...holes in a lifeboat, that is.

Tricked by a fake lifeboat drill called by Boris Badenov, that dastardly USC graduate (that is, the Ukrainian Safecracking College, dollink), into a leaky lifeboat—Moose overboard!—our heroes are all at sea and lost in a fog. But little does Boris know that Moose and Squirrel have courteously taken along that old and taciturn (and red and green and spotted) gentleman, Uncle Chumley, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain mooseberry bush.

Andalusia*—commanded by none other than Captain Peter "Wrong Way" Peachfuzz, recipient of a plethora of medals, all of them bestowed by the enemy—bears directly down on our heroes! Will it be the Deep Six, or, is it The Old Moose and the Sea?

There's nothing but splinters left of the little lifeboat, but mighty Bullwinkle has managed to grab ahold of the passing anchor, and Rocky has ahold of him, and when Boris looks out of his porthole and sees that they have ahold of Uncle Chumley, he has no choice but to grab ahold of our heroes and haul them in. At that moment Captain Peachfuzz veers off again, traveling more miles and getting to fewer places than any other vessel on Earth. The Captain's outrageous all right, and what's more, the food's almost gone.

A fisherman and his wife are very poor, and he is happy. The wife, however, is unhappy, and wishes that he would catch more fish in order to make a better living.

It looks like Bullwinkle Makes a Hit, or, Will I Get a Bang Out of You?

It’s good news/bad news for Bullwinkle: fortunately, he’s fallen directly into the ship’s pool; unfortunately, he can’t swim and there’s...AN EXPLOSION!

Andalusia and Sir Thomas Lippen-Boris, who yet again is under orders to RETURN MOOSE!
