64 years ago today, November 19, 1959, The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show premiered. (known as Rocky & His Friends during the first two seasons and as The Bullwinkle Show for the last three seasons) It originally aired from November 19, 1959, to June 27, 1964, on the ABC and NBC television networks. Produced by Jay Ward Productions, the series is structured as a variety show, with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters, the anthropomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the Russian-like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments include Dudley Do-Right (a parody of old-time melodrama), Peabody's Improbable History (a dog and his pet boy Sherman traveling through time), and Fractured Fairy Tales (classic fairy tales retold in comic fashion), among others.
Rocky & Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor. Mixing puns, cultural and topical satire, and self-referential humor, it appealed to adults as well as children. It was also one of the first cartoons whose animation was outsourced; storyboards were shipped to Gamma Productions, a Mexican studio also employed by Total Television. The art has a choppy, unpolished look and the animation is extremely limited even by television animation standards at the time. Yet the series has long been held in high esteem by those who have seen it; some critics described the series as a well-written radio program with pictures.
The show was shuffled around several times (airing in afternoon, prime time, and Saturday morning time slots), but was influential to other animated series from The Simpsons to Rocko's Modern Life. Segments from the series were later recycled in the Hoppity Hooper show.
There have been numerous feature film adaptations of the series' various segments, such as the 2000 film The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle which blended live-action and computer animation and the 1999 live-action film Dudley Do-Right, which both received poor reviews and were financially unsuccessful. By contrast, an animated feature film adaptation of the "Peabody's Improbable History" segment, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, was released to good reviews in 2014.
Mr. Peabody will star in a new reboot series picked up for 13-episodes.
In 2013, Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show were ranked the sixth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time by TV Guide.

Yesterday TJR had a chance to stroll the Chicago Auto Show.
Here's a few pics.
The show is in both halls this year. If you're so inclined go and take a stroll.
No Audi display which was disappointing.
Thx again to the media team for making this happen.
The entire TJR team wants to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanza and a Happy, Safe and Healthy New Year.

While it's always great to get a sneak peek at the Chicago Auto Show, this year was a bit of a disappointment. Many manufacturers are just not comfortable exhibiting their cars and supply chain issues still remain.
Only 1 side of the convention hall in McCormick Place is open for this show.
The organizers did add some space but it still seemed small. There are a few tracks for participants to enjoy, Dodge, Jeep to name a few but they take up a lot of floor space as well.
No Audi, Porsche, Mercedes Benz.
Here's a few pics of cars that caught our eye.
If any of our followers take in the show pls post your reviews as well.
The TJR crew will be heading to the Chicago Auto Show this week for a sneak peek. Stay tuned for our report.
All of us at Team Janica Racing want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you had a great day with family and friends.
