I remember watching the show as a kid. It was the first cartoon show made especially for children (Saturday TV was either westerns or group shows like “Andy’s Gang” [which I also watched: Sabu!]). Wasn’t Hans Conried also part of the show?

Yes, he was, as Snidely Whiplash. He was also Captain Hook in Disney's Peter Pan, among other voices...Bullwinkle was a Canadian product, and as an adult not only did some things make more sense once I knew that...but, I picked up on the adult humor that was over my head at the time, my dad used to love the show and watched it with us, and I shouldn't realized that...lol
I love punny/silly humor generally...and I think of Wassa Mater U all the time and giggle...while I have the DVD's and collectibles of many cartoon shows , Bullwinkle is my favorite
Oh yes! Fractured Fairytales … I had forgotten. Watching that show as a child made me feel like an adult—all that unchildish humor. It was the only cartoon show watchable. (I also loved “The Cisco Kid”.)
You are a few years older than I am (67), I don't remember The Cisco Kid, but I did like The Jetsons, and The Flintstones when they came around...and Looney Tunes,, and later on Johnny Quest (I had a crush on him and Speed Racer), and later on Scooby Do
Yes. I am soon to be 75. Children’s (black-and-white) television was so different then: no cartoons except WWII vintage Popeye and Looney Tunes; Saturday mornings were all half-hour Westerns (“Cisco Kid” and “Kit Carson” and Roy Rogers), Andy’s Gang (hosted by Andy Devine). The later cartoons - Flintstones, Jetsons - I was “too adult” for … besides, comic books came back in fashion; soul food for a teenage boy.
Hans Conreid also starred in the movie “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T” … which scared me silly. And that Rocky humor! So funny, and so adult—I watched it zealously. (Also Soupy Sales!)

Rocky and Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha, Dudley Dooright and Tess Trueheart … but my favorite was always Mr. Peabody.
And his Boy Sherman...
I liked the Fractured Fairy Godmother, ( I like them all really) and I also loved Peabody and Sherman)
Sherman went back in time in one episode and when he came back to the present he said to Mr Peabody:
“The good old days weren’t so good. In fact they was rotten” Loved that quote.
Yeah...it was a brilliant cartoon
I have a plush version of her ( as I do all of them), and she is just too cute

The old cartoon were better--more frame per second.
And backgrounds that moved instead of remaining static. For the very best in cartoons, check out (or recheck) Betty Boop—extraordinary!
