The Resume

    (September 24, 1961-September 1, 1973)
    Originally aired on ABC
    Created by Jay Ward
    Features heroes Rocky and Bullwinkle outwitting foreign spies Boris and Natasha
    Other segments are 'Fractured Fairy Tales,' 'Peabody's Improbable History,' 'The Adventures of Dudley Doright,' and 'Aesop and Son'

Why The Bullwinkle Show might be annoying:

    Voice actors would sometimes flub lines, and due to a tight production budget and time restraints, it was included in the cartoon.
    The humor has aged, with many references to the Cold War.
    The animation was done for the most part in Mexico.
    It had to abandon a storyline where Boris planned to control the world's economy by counterfeiting box tops because of objections from their sponsor General Mills.
    It has been the subject of two bad movie spin-offs.

Why The Bullwinkle Show might not be annoying:

    It is one of the longest-running cartoons ever made.
    It had an epic multi-part storyline about the moose and squirrel's search for the Kirwood Derby, a play on Durward Kirby's name.
    When Kirby threatened a lawsuit, producer Jay Ward responded that Kirby could name any hat of his choosing after any character in his show.
    It featured Boris and Natasha as the first evil communist cartoon duo and often the show used their characters to indirectly mock the Soviet Union.
    It is the only cartoon (other than 'The Simpsons) to appear on the list of TV Guide's '50 Best Shows of All Time' (2002).
    It was a show that both kids and adults could enjoy.
