Listen to me on TV CONFIDENTIAL:
As always, the further we go back in Hollywood history, the more that fact and legend become intertwined. It's hard to say where the truth really lies.

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show Premieres Jet Fuel
Formula.
The
Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is the
collective name for two separate animated series:
Rocky and His Friends
(1959 – 1961) and The Bullwinkle
Show (1961 – 1964). Rocky & Bullwinkle enjoyed great
popularity during the 1960s. Much of this success was a result of it being
targeted towards both children and adults. The zany characters and absurd plots
would draw in children, while the clever usage of puns and topical references
appealed to the adult demographic. Furthermore, the strengths of the series helped it
overcome the fact that it had choppy, limited animation; in fact, some critics described the series as a well-written radio program
with pictures.
