Stop That Rocket
The Rocky and Bullwinkle component has to do with Fearless Leader circling the Earth in a missile. R & J are trying to be nice and get him down while Boris wants him to circle for eternity so he can become the Fearless Leader. Extra features include the story of "Little Fred Riding Hood," who is trying to get to Granny's house and keeps getting circumvented by a couple of little elves. Peabody and Sherman go to see the artist who painted the first Indian Head Nickel.
This Bullwinkle Show episode includes a busted . . .
. . . ferry tale about what happens when young ladies neglect their personal pruning responsibilities. Such sorry creatures feel shorn of any social inhibitions and make Life miserable for all around them. The title character of LITTLE FRED RIDING HOOD suffers the mischance of stumbling across two such civic menaces. Soon they transform the unfortunate Fred into their own private version of Frankenstein's monster, capable of collapsing bridges at a single stomp. These malingering miscreants are forced to cough up exorbitant punitive damages when Fred finally is able to unmask their malign masquerade.
It turns out that the Austen family used to stop at a dive . . .
. . . called "Ted's Trailer" on their way home from church in the early 1700's. Therefore, a young Jane seized the opportunity to make the locally notable Singing Waiter of Ted's greasy spoon world famous with her first best-selling hunk of literature, LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER. Bullwinkle J. Moose reenacts Tommy's short-lived career, taking the title role upon himself in this Corner presentation. Music people are seldom appreciated in their original stomping grounds. Michael Jackson was driven from the Motor City to his Hotel California doom. Madonna was expelled from nearby Rochester to not-so-Great Britain and beyond. Even Charles Mar-Cues, the singing hot dog vendor of Detroit, was fired for telling customers that "there's no ketchup in baseball." So, Bullwinkle, Tommy Tucker and Janie Austen all are in good company.
