WHISTLER'S MOOSE
Boris and Natasha are angling for Bullwinkle's claim to the uninhabited domain of Moosylvania, prompting a devious contest challenging entrants to prove just how evil they can be--a gambit that unleashes some reliably silly examples of greed run amok before carrying us to a climax involving a booby-trapped set of the Encylopedia Badenov (watch out for Volume 7) and a triple-cross disguising Butte, Montana, as our nation's capit...maybe. In keeping with creator Jay Ward's kitchen-sink style of pop satire, the story slips in breezy digs at political lobbying, sweepstakes fever, and the villains' own cheerfully inverted value system. During its original network run, Rocky and Bullwinkle achieved a glorious, cheerfully subversive spirit that could be savored simply for its crudely rendered but deftly timed animated slapstick while injecting giddy jolts of social satire and wonderful, groanworthy puns to keep moms and dads giggling while their offspring laughed at the proceedings. This episode of what amounted to a comedic magazine series includes some worthwhile nonsense with Dudley Do-Right that illustrates his oblivious rectitude through nemesis Snidely Whiplash's addiction to tying innocent maidens to railroad tracks, while an episode of Mr. Know-It-All skewers Hollywood in a bit describing a self-satisfied director's (Bullwinkle, of course) proclamations of his skill at handling talent (a rogue's gallery of spoiled star archetypes all "played" by none other than Boris Badenov, he of the pencil-thin moustache and broad Pottsylvanian accent). Along with a reliably warped Fractured Fairy Tale, a visit to Bullwinkle's Corner, and a pun-driven Aesop and Son not-quite-fable, the show reminds us of just how much fun Ward and his inspired asylum perpetrated on a grateful audience during the show's halcyon '60s run.LA GRANDE MOOSE
