The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (TV series)The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (known as Rocky and His Friends during the first two seasons and as The Bullwinkle Show for the last three seasons)[7] is an American animated television series that originally aired from November 1. June 2. 7, 1. 96. ABC and NBC television networks. Produced by Jay Ward Productions, the series is structured as a variety show, with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters, the anthropomorphicmoose.

Rocky. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the two Russian- like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments include Dudley Do- Right (a parody of old- time melodrama), Peabody's Improbable History (a dog named Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman traveling through time), and Fractured Fairy Tales (classic fairy tales retold in comic fashion), among others.[8]Rocky and Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor. Mixing puns, cultural and topical satire, and self- referential humor, it appealed to adults as well as children.[8] It was also one of the first cartoons whose animation was outsourced; storyboards were shipped to Gamma Productions, a Mexican studio also employed by Total Television. 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.[9]The show was shuffled around several times (airing in afternoon, prime time, and Saturday morning timeslots), but was influential to other animated series from The Simpsons to Rocko's Modern Life.[1.
Segments from the series were later recycled in the Hoppity Hooper show. There have been numerous feature film adaptations of the series' various segments, such as the 2. The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle which blended live- action and computer animation[1. Dudley Do- Right,[1. By contrast, an animated feature film adaptation of the "Peabody's Improbable History" segment, Mr.

The show in this form was created by Alex Anderson.[1. Bullwinkle's name came from the name of a car dealership in Berkeley, California, called Bullwinkel Motors. Anderson changed the spelling of the name and gave it to his moose, and a cartoons character was born.[1.
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 Bill Scott as head writer and co- producer at Jay Ward Productions, and he wrote the Rocky and Bullwinkle features. Ward was joined by writers Chris Hayward[1. Allan Burns; the latter eventually became head writer for MTM Enterprises. In a 1. 98. 2 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."[1. Production[edit]The series began with the pilot, Rocky the Flying Squirrel.
Production began in February 1. June Foray, Paul Frees, Bill Scott, and William Conrad. Eight months later, General Mills 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 Dancer, Fitzgerald, & Sample — the advertising agency for General Mills — set up an animation studio in Mexico called Gamma Productions S. A. de C. V., originally known as Val- Mar Animation. This outsourcing of the animation for the series was considered financially attractive by primary sponsor General Mills, but caused endless production problems. In a 1. 98. 2 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.[2. Network television: 1.

This version was sometimes shown in conjunction with The King and Odie, a fifteen- minute version of Total Television's King Leonardo and His Short Subjects.
