BULLWINKLE SHOW, THE - Aesop and Son: The Fox and the Minks
| Air Date/Released | Monday, July 9, 1962 |
|---|---|
| Station/Studio | NBC / Jay Ward Productions |
| Host/Star | Rocky & Bullwinkle |
The off-the-wall, satirical, pun-filled, animated adventures of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose, foiling the evil schemes of foreign spies Boris Badenov and Natasha. The series had several title and network incarnations, beginning in 1959 on ABC Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS. It moved to NBC's Sunday primetime schedule in 1961 as THE BULLWINKLE SHOW, and then back to ABC on Sunday afternoons for its final (1964-1965) season. Each episode featured two serialized installments of Rocky and Bullwinkle's latest storyline, and two cartoons from the recurring features "Aesop and Son," "Fractured Fairy Tales," "Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties" and "Mr. Peabody's Improbable History." Between the toons were interstatial gags starring Bullwinkle and Rocky in "Mr. Know-It-All," "Bullwinkle's Corner" and others.
In the "Aesop and Son" fable "The Fox and the Minks," Aesop teaches his son about teamwork in the tale of three minks who outwit a fox hunting them for their pelts. The three minks are loosely based on The Three Stooges, engaging in slaps and bonks, and a derby-wearing mink who laughs with a "n'yuk, n'yuk." This "Aesop" toon was again featured in the BULLWINKLE episode that aired on 2/22/1965 on ABC.
