The show centers on two characters: Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. But when the episodes were being produced, I guessed they were meant to focus slightly more on Rocky. That explains why the title of the show in earlier seasons was called Rocky and His Friends. But somehow Rocky faded overtime, and Bullwinkle began to shine, thus the show in later seasons went by the title The Bullwinkle Show.How on Earth did the cute Rocky eventually lost the spotlight to the moose? Fans are likely to come up with one theory or another. But in my view, the problem occurred during the show's pre-production period. Too bad whoever chosen the cast didn't see it happened.When trying to decide who should play a young male character, a child actor would be the best option. But in Rocky's case, they selected an old tomboy to do his words. If they can't find a child actor, they could have choose that baby-faced Walter Tetley, who played Sherman, to be that flying squirrel. But instead they choose an old tomboy. Because of that, viewers find it nauseating they way Rocky is performed and therefore eventually turning their attention to Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle may not be cute but his comical naivette makes him fun to watch.

I always have loved animated shows and cartoons, and I find The Rocky and Bullwinkle/The Bullwinkle Show one of the best there was. The animation is a tad on the primitive side, but it can have an appealing look to it. What makes the show are the characters and the writing. The characters are timeless, not just Rocky and Bullwinkle, Rocky being adorable and Bullwinkle hilarious, but support characters like Boris and Natasha. The writing is superb, with a satirical edge that is both sarcastic and subtle while managing to be laugh-out-loud funny. The episode ideas were original and interesting. Rocky and Bullwinkle's are wonderful, as well as Dudley Doright, Peabody and Fractured Fairy tales. Aesop's Fables weren't quite on the same level but had some good moments. The voice work from June Foray, Paul Frees, William Conrad and Bill Scott is to me some of the best of any cartoon show. Overall, a classic cartoon series and one of the best. 10/10 Bethany Cox

When I was growing up,I used to run like the wind the catch the next episode of what the moose and squirrel were up to next. Indeed,and American classic in the utmost sense of the word. Boris and Natasha were the true villains in there ever loving quest to get rid of Rocky and Bullwinkle any way they knew how. What I like about the first episode is that of the narration. William Conrad was a pure genius at his craft. He kept the story going each time with one cliffhanger after another. Still,I get a good laugh each time it comes on because it was a kids show for a adult perspective:children's type humor with adult jokes and that premise doesn't work in this age and time today as it did back then,but you can have a good time with the adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle-Real American Heroes!!!!

Rocky and Bullwinkle are historical characters. Not because they killed anybody or they were an official. They are 2 animated characters who teach children not to take everything seriously, just the cold war (Boris and Natasha are a example of this). This show is fun, funny and cool. The usual squirell and moose may seem outdated, kids and parents today will like this show and I recomend it to them and for anyone looking for old animation. Very well. A+
