The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show is an American animated television series that originally aired from November 19, 1959 to June 27, 1964 on the ABC and NBC television networks. Produced by Jay Ward Productions, the series is structured as a variety show, with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters, the anthropomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the Russian-like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments include Dudley Do-Right , Peabody & Sherman , and Fractured... Fairy Tales , among others. Rocky & Bullwinkle were conceived in the late 1940s by Jay Ward and his partner Alex Anderson, creators of Crusader Rabbit, the first animated program made specifically for television. An unused show idea called The Frostbite Falls Revue featured early versions of the moose and squirrel.
