THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWINKLE AND ROCKY AND FRIENDS

Bullwinkle J. Mooose 

and Rocket "Rocky" J. Squirrel, 

(the J. being for J. Ward collaboration, who also did Crusader Rabbit). Living in Frostbite Falls MN (FICTIONAL) Whose rather laughable adventures dealth with them out-witting a pair of spies from Pottsylvania, Boris Badenov and the sulty co-spy Natasha Fatale

who took orders from the dictator of Pottsylvania, Fearless Leader

The cool and often missed underlying tone, that still had appeal to both young and old, was the cold wars references, the poking fun at celebrities and current even and even Disney. While the show was a variety show showcasing other truly nonsensical truly goofy characters on their episodes

Dudley Do-Right(of the Mounties)
 was a Canadian Mounties, quite cheerful, but not the sharpest nail in the shed.

 Dudley nemisis was Snidley Whiplash, who was always putting in harms way, Dudley's true Love, 

Nell Fenwick, Dudley's bosses daughter, Inspector Fenwick, from harrowing 'damsel in distress" situation time and time again. Sadly for Dudly, its seemed Nell did not share his infatuation and was enamored with Dudley's hore, 

Horse. Horse generals helps Dudley suceed in saving Nell or just sheer luch, with little attributed to poor Dudley.  Also famous for riding his Horse  backwards in the opening intro.

Peabody's Improbable History, a classic dance with world history, with a genius dog who


 incidentally talks and has the guardianship of Sherman,

 whom he looks upon as his son. The series center how Dr. Peabody has created a time machine and went back in history to see the history of that time and to help make sure history happened as in history books.

Aesop and Son, another series, that seemed to show the old way and the new way of thinking. Like Fractured Fairy Tales except these are fables instead. Aesop tried to make parables with a lesson using fables, Aesops son used a clever play on words to contradict his father who lesson. The beginning shows basically the concept of the show with Aesop carefully carving his name in marble and his son, using a jackhammer bring about a huge cloud of dust, adds and son.

Fractured Fairy Tales, a classic in its own right as a cartoon. Taking both children's stories and fairy tales and giving them a twist of a modernized version leaving plenty of room for a comical outcome! And always the Fractured Fairy!

The World of Commander McBragg, series shorts. In short, were the revisionist history that Commander McBragg envisioned a reality.

And of course, Bullwinkle has little shorts appearing now and then in an episode.

Bullwinkles Mr. Know-It-All

Bullwinkle's Corner

Needless to say this added to the fun insanity in the show, with Bullwinkle trying to be the culture beacon, and taking nursery rhythms and poems and in his own contorted way acting them out and in the process, altho innocently, totally upending and twisted them with that classic humor abounding.

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club. Self-explanatory with the added caveat that conducting club business always ends up in a zany fiasco-here we are introduced to Captain Peter "wrong-way" Peachfuzz 

And of course, Gidney and Cloyd, the two little green moon men who use a scrootch gun to freeze a person for an allotted amount of time

The Flintstones was the first primetime animated show on Television, predating The Simpsons by close to 30 years. Helping establish Hanna-Barbera  at that juncture, as the largest producer of animated films. Oddly the original name wasn't the Flintstones, but the Flagstones, but changed when it was realized there was a comic strip with the same name.
WARNER BROS STUDIO STORE FRED FLINTSTONE

Bedrock, with a population of (2,500) the equivalent of a suburban prehistoric setting, the proverbial modern Stone Age family even with the inventive but primitive technology, but it made the series more realistic and fun with the variations on the simple technology that maybe not as sophisticated but as effective. The Flintstones were Fred and Wilma, and as time went on, a daughter, Pebbles. The date, 10,000 B.C. Fred worked at the quarry, Slate Rock and Gravel Company.

, not as a totally happy camper, with his neighbor Barney Rubble.
It was noticed that Bedrock

 was a mirroring of the suburban sprawl for the 2 decades of the postwar era. The stone homes had that ticky-tacky and they all looked the same cookie-cutter look.
The appliances which like in the 50-60's we milestones in setting up one's household, with the caveat that they were all thru a Rube Goldberg method, run by animals.  and foot structure
One of the designers said he had given the characters a more caveman look, unkept, shabby hair, long beards and with hunched over shapes. Barbera nixed this and made them more "civilized".
WARNER BROS STUDIO STORE WILMA FLINTSTONE

Wilma, his striking wife did challenge Fred on things that Fred said that was "sketchy".
much more level-headed and with a much more developed IQ than Fred. Wilma did love spending money, many times with Barney's wife Betty, also brighter than Barney and her famous spending cheerleading phrase, "Da-da-da-duh da-da CHARGE IT!!!",

HOPPY-THE HOPPAROO

There are other characters who may have a toy made of them, but are rare or non-existant.
Mr. Slate, of the Slate Rock and Gravel Company, the gravel pit boss, of Fred and Barney who temper is a big button sticking out waiting to be pushed. Fred get fired every so often and then gets his job back at the conclusion of the day. A running witticism was to have Mr. Slates name be used occasionally but a different name each time.
MR SLATE-FRED AND BARNEY'S BOSS

Arnold, the Flintstones paper boy, who Fred has no love for, one for unintentionally throwing the paper in Freds face. And add in Arnold's ability to outsmart Fred at various tasks only adding more fuel to Fred's dislike of Arnold.

As was not too hidden, The Flintstones was loosely based on the Honeymooners. The creator of The Honeymooners Jackie Gleason had intended to sue Hanna-Barbera Productions, but then reasoned he didn't want the reputation as "the guy who yanked Fred Flintstone off the air".


In the era making cigarette commercials was a thing to do:
