A flying squirrel and a talking moose

Yes, before the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, there was the cartoon show.



It ran as Rocky and His Friends, then later as The Bullwinkle Show from 1959 until 1964, then after a hiatus, again until 1974. Though kids were the target audience, the program was laced with political humor and social satire that drew (and continues to draw) plenty of adults. Luckily for us, many episodes are still available for viewing at That's Rentertainment. But if you thirst for more knowledge, you'll find it in The Moose That Roared by Keith Scott, 791.4572Sco84m. Scott is himself a veteran voice artist and animation historian who became friends with his childhood idols Jay Ward and Bill Scott, creators of the Rocky and Bullwinkle legacy. So he's got a special insight into this jewel from the golden age of television.
