I just found out that we are about to celebrate the anniversary of an event that I believe has influenced my life and my personality. I've always been told that I have a strange, sarcastic sense of humor -- this could be the reason.
Rocky and Bullwinkle debuted on Nov. 29, 1959, as Rocky & His Friends, starring Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose.
My favorite character was Mr. Peabody and his WABAC machine. For those of you who don’t remember the show or who were too young to ever experience it, Peabody was a very intelligent talking dog who had a pet boy named Sherman. His segment -- Peabody’s Improbable History -- offered a new look at history and what might have happened if ... And, it always ended with a really bad pun. It always intrigued me that we could go back and witness history -- as comical as his version was.
Rocky was a show that appealed to kids and adults. It was really funny, but offered intelligent humor, too.
I need to go out an buy a DVD of it and relive my youth! And laugh a lot!
