. . . The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 38 is the Mr. Know-It-All segment, which features a title usually shortened to HOW TO TAKE YOUR COVERED WAGON THROUGH THE WEST. The remainder of a rather long heading includes a noun no longer acceptable in the 21st Century. It promises to depict 2,000 of these covered wagon attackers, but only one is pictured: A mute Boris Bad-Enough dressed up in the minimalist attire once in vogue throughout the American West. Boris is shown firing an anachronistic Gatling gun at the beleaguered moose, an incident prompting Bullwinkle to respond with an equally out-of-place construction crane, automobile and hot air balloon actually held aloft by highly volatile hydrogen gas. Taken together, this constitutes quite an explosive mixture for a kid's film.

. . . American Culture, and the Aesop and Son segment here titled THE FOX AND THE OWL attests to this fact. One of the title characters featured in this picture eradicates the other one with what looks to be a musket. The fact that this off-screen perforation proves fatal to its intended target is verified by the dude narrating this fable. Will young children heed this lesson to grab the nearest Peacemaker and serve as the sole judge, jury and executioner for any stray moocher happening by their domicile? Anyone looking at America's blasting statistics accumulated during the 65 or so years since the release of THE FOX AND THE OWL would be hard-pressed to argue that this is not the case.

Dynamite Fright

The contest for the million dollars in Confederate money continues as Frostbite Falls becomes the holy city. It is subterfuge now because Boris and his gang are digging under the bank so they can rob it. Rocky is thrown in a hole and dynamite is set to go off. The fable is about the Fox and the Owl where the owl seems to have the fox's number. Peabody and Sherman go to visit the inventor of the submarine, Holland.

It's always disturbing to witness civic leaders struggling . . .

. . . with the symptoms of early onset forgetfulness. When Col. Mac Corn Pone, publisher of the Frostbite Falls, MN, Picayune Intelligence daily newspaper, reveals that he cannot remember exactly where he buried a treasure consisting of a million bucks in Confederate dough, it seems to diminish the winds in the sails of Greater Frostbite Falls. This fortune, adjusted for inflation, amounts to more than two bits, double the average annual earnings of a typical Frostbite resident. It is small wonder that virtually the entire city scape has been excavated by rabid treasure seekers. Unfortunately, brain transplants had not yet reached the Golden Gopher State--named for an 1857 Bullwinkle cartoon--by 1961.
