Trivia:

New episodes of The Bullwinkle Show played for three years (1961-1964). Network reruns lasted until 1973, at which time the shows went into syndication.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: In an episode not listed on IMDB, Peabody & Sherman join Cleopatra VII and Gaio Giulio Cesare to wage war against Ptolemy XIII, in "42 BC" according to the Waybac machine's clock. However, that war happened in 48-47 BC, Ptolemy died in a shipping accident on 13 January 47 BC, and Julius was stabbed to death on 15 March 44 BC. Since this erroneous chronology is not revealed in a humorous fashion, it counts as a goof.

Quotes:

[repeated line]
Edgar:That's something you don't see every day, Chauncey.
Chauncey:What's that, Edgar?

One of the funniest shows ever!

This is one of the funniest television shows I have ever seen. The best part is that as I get older, I find it funnier. When i was little, I just laughed at Bullwinkle's voice. But as i get older and older I start to appreciate the satire and humor. Modern sitcoms and cartoons should take a lesson from this show.
