Surely BULLWINKLE'S LANDING or . . .

... MUSCLE BEACH--with the M-word misspelled--was inspired by a Real-Life incident that occurred on Elizabeth Lake shortly before this picture was fashioned. The actual Muscle Beach was situated back then on the southeast corner of the lake, which was the part closest to Detroit. On that memorably hot summer day, one of those giant black whale floats drifted away from its moorings on Muscle Beach, and because the intermittent breeze was wafting from the southeast toward the northwest, this odoriferous communal beach toy washed into our neighborhood's tiny swim area, more than a mile away as the crow circles from the high-priced playground of moose and muscle. I can still smell that burning rubberized whale Today, even though I was a full generation away from it.

. . . out of.a souse' beer, but BEAUTY AND HER BEAST tries mighty hard to accomplish this impossible feat. A fractured fairy tale more shattered than most, many viewers will wonder whether they'd be better off investing 338 seconds on this BEAUTY, or slog through the 93-minute 1946 live-action marathon by director Jean C-word. Certainly this BEAUTY features more plot twists per minute than Jean's tedious attention span test. The acting is better here, thanks to a script that does not bog characters down with ludicrous wilted lingo. Better yet, the production design outshines the earlier off-shore version, leaving anyone with an ounce of Common Sense to second-guess those deluded few championing the bloated 1946 BEAST.

Once again, Mr. Know-It-All is the main star . . .

. . . of a Bullwinkle Show episode. His HOW TO AVOID TIPPING THE WAITER is a provocative piece, providing plenty of food for thought. Waiter Boris Bad-Enough epitomizes the Heart of Darkness, constantly demanding ever-increasing bonuses for merely doing his job--in a totally slovenly, disorganized, confrontational, over-the-top manner at that, featuring numerous assaults and blatant battery. Can you imagine a delivery room nurse holding a new-born baby hostage, unless you gave her a series of "tips" amounting to hundreds or thousands of dollars, based upon a "standard" 15% or 20% of the hospital's overall charge? Parents would be screaming "Highway robbery!" Why should waiters be allowed to terrorize anyone who enters a restaurant with their outrageous extortion demands?

Let's Hear It for Boris!

As the King, Rocky, and Bullwinkle go in search of the Oogle Bird, we find out who is responsible for its birdnapping. it's our old friend Boris Badinov who is using the bird to get information to use for his own gains. The boys make their way to Boris's island and are met by gunfire and other surprises. Meanwhile, the Oogle bird is sad and depressed. In other features we have "Beauty and Her Beast." It is the story of an ugly girl with few prospects who becomes beautiful when she rides her magic mule. Dudley Do-Right and Inspector Fenwick are facing extreme Canadian heat. Nell,, who is bored, takes up knitting and knits Snidely Whiplash a bulletproof Snidely Suit. He is invulnerable to bullets. Hilarious from beginning to end. I believe these Dudley Do-Right episodes are the best part of this show.
