 The 
                        first show ever to feature Rocky and Bullwinkle was Jay 
                        Ward Productions' Rocky and His Friends. It ran from September 
                        29, 1959 to September 3, 1961 on ABC and was seen on Saturday 
                        evenings from 6:30 to 7:00. The main plot line featured 
                        Rocky, the flying squirrel, Bullwinkle, his devoted companion, 
                        Mr. Big, the evil midget, and his Pottsylvanian accomplices, 
                        the infamous Boris and Natasha.
 
 Voice talents include June Foray as Rocky, Natasha and 
                        Nell Fenwick; Bill Scott as Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody and 
                        Dudley Do-Right; Paul Frees as Boris; Hans Conreid as 
                        Snidely Whiplash; Walter Tetley as Sherman; Charles Ruggles 
                        as Aesop; William Conrad as the narrator; and Edward Everett 
                        Horton as the narrator of Fractured Fairy Tales. The show 
                        was created by Jay Ward and Alex Anderson and produced 
                        by Bill Scott. In 1961 the show moved to NBC and retitled 
                        The Bullwinkle Show. There it stayed until fall of 1964 
                        when it returned to ABC for nine more years. From then 
                        on, the show has been shown in reruns. There is also a 
                        video series available from Buena Vista.
