Does Anyone Remember When Boxtops Were Important

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 25 February 2016]

The conclusion of this episode involves the boys getting freed by the Coast Guard. Unfortunately, the police bumble things up and even though the Boxtops are destroyed, Boris and Natasha are able to go right back to work, printing four million more. As luck would have it, things end up in our heroes' favor. Once again, Bullwinkle's stupidity reigns supreme. I the fairy tale, Red Riding Hood works for an upscale furrier and needs a wolf pelt. It involves some classic role reversal, as she is relentless in her pursuit of a wolf and his grandma. Peabody and Sherman visit Stanley and Livingston who are arguing about who found whom. They are captured by some political incorrect cannibals and must use their wits to get free of them. This is the end of a fun session and I look forward to the next.

When it comes to product placement . . .

. . . it's hard to best the BOX TOP ROBBERY serial. TV shows, of course, were created for the sole purpose of product placement, so what happens during The Bullwinkle Show and every other episode of all other entertainment, news and sports programming from the 1900's is NOT as sneaky as the plugs for beer, soda, vehicles and computers constantly adding up to subversive subliminal brain-washing and mind control even in this our supposedly up-to-date modern 21st Century. However, the Box Top Robbery serial probably was more effective than most if not all of Today's product shilling. Contemporary records indicate that cereal sales soared 316% thanks to the spotlight provided by Rocky and Bullwinkle here.

Naturally, the most interesting portion of . . .

. . . The Bullwinkle Show: Season 1, Episode 26 is called MR. KNOW-IT-ALL: HOW TO TURN A BEASTLY FAILURE INTO A MONSTROUS SUCCESS. This segment includes a recipe for fashioning Frankenstein's, which it turns out are made, not born. Given the bizarre growths protruding from the top of his head, Bullwinkle comes off looking pretty beastly himself. No wonder the best job his professional network can offer to Bullwinkle's monster is a spot on a bomb-making assembly line. Since Lurch is not hired on Bring-Your-Creator-to-Work Day, Bullwinkle's brain-challenged protegee decides to bring his work home with him. It's like BOOM! Without a Sonic.

Doubtless the best retelling ever done about . . .

. . . LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, this Fractured Fairy Tale--included on the Season 1, Episode 26 airing of The Bullwinkle Show on Friday, May 12, 1960--blows the whistle on its title character, revealing her as the twisted tramp, vicious vixen, tarnished tart, warped witch, vicious vampire, wicked wretch, rotten rodent, deviant devil, sponging strumpet and belligerent bawd she was in Real Life. "Red" will do anything to make a quick buck, even if it means throwing her own grandmother to the wolves. When a fabulously wealthy potential customer walks into her hood shop, Red offers to sell this malignant bastion of ill-gotten loot the pelt of a young Third World male. How gross can you get?
