An American animated television series, The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, ran from November19,1959, through June27,1964, on ABC and NBC. Anthomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky, created by Jay Ward Productions, star in their own variety program with their own serialized adventures. Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale are the two most common foes they face in most of their missions. Dudley Do-Right, Peabody's Improbable History, and Fractured Fairy Tales are among the supporting features. Aside from their caustic comedy, Rocky and Bullwinkle are noted for their high-quality writing. Poking fun at popular culture and current events, it appealed to both adults and children. For the first time, animation was outsourced; the storyboards were sent to a Mexican studio employed by the same company as Total Television (Gamma Productions). Artwork and animation are both lacking in quality, even by the standards of today's popular television shows. Those who have seen the show have long held it in high regard; some commentators have described the show as a well-written radio program with pictures.
