8/10
Out of the Frying Pan
25 February 2016
A great many funny lines accompany this episode. The boys are floating down a river, heading for the open sea. Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha are trying to evade the police. Sitting in the elevator in which they are floating, the coast guard mistakes them for an enemy submarine (Bullwinkle looks like a conning tower). They are fired upon, first with artillery and then with depth charges. This episode has the classic exchange between R & B where Rocky tries to get their minds off the fact that they are going to crash. Bullwinkle plays along by saying, "It looks like an early fall." This is the first of a series of these comments.

In the other features, we start with the Fractured "Pinocchio." As with "Sleeping Beauty" in the last episode, Gepetto decides to exploit the puppet as soon as he gets life, offering him to a producer, but offering him the caveat "Stay Wood!" In the Peabody offering, the Wayback takes them to meet P. T. Barnum who is about to lose his circus to a couple of opportunistic trapeze artists named Hide and Sick. If they can successfully pull off a strike, they will get the deed to the circus.
