. . . America, in which the entire population live their lives focused on tiny screens. Because this episode takes place during the far Yesteryear period of the 1900's, the ancients depicted here still required metal antennae atop their homes to receive "signals" from a tiny handful of low-powered "network" television stations. Because no one had Dish, streaming services, cell phones, i-pads, smart phones, i-watches, laptops, cable, Fire Sticks, Roku, Chrome-cast, podcasts, You-Tube, Instagram, Tick Talk, Play Station, Game Boy, Nintendo, X-Box, Twitter, Google, Firefox, Wikipedia, DVD's, i-pods, laser discs or CD's, everyone had to make do with two or three TV channels and smoke signals. Just as gorilla fighters could hamstring communication in the 1800's by simply cutting telegraph wires, this picture illustrates how THE MONSTROUS MECHANICAL METAL MUNCHING MOON MICE could take down American civilization simply by biting off all the TV antennae.

The debate has raged for decades as to whom . . .

. . . Bullwinkle J. Moose is attempting to emulate during his Mr. Know-It-All segment, HOW TO BE A HUMAN FLY. During recent years, the Aerial Stunts Society's scholars have been leaning toward Harry Gardener (1871-1956) as the moose's likely role model, though the John Camp fan club has continued to make claims on behalf of their namesake building climber. Gardener, of course, famously quipped that "One hundred and twenty of those who have sought to imitate me in this hazardous profession have fallen to death." U. S. "People's President" Grover Cleveland coined the term "Human Fly" as a nickname for the man rumored to have been beaten to death on the Eiffel Tower in 1933. However, Gardener actually succumbed to natural causes in Washington, DC, on July 28, 1956. In comparison, Camp Anglicized his obscure Italian birth name after Mussolini came to power in his homeland, but reportedly was NOT involved in meat-hooking the dude who got the trains running on time by the end of World War II.

Night of Darkness

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 26 February 2021]

All the people in Frostbite Falls are addicted to TV. Every roof has a unique antenna. One night television disappears. It seems all the antennas have been bitten off. What sort of creature could do such a thing. Bullwinkle is left to observe one night and what he sees is astonishing. We have two extra features. The first is the story of "Leaping Beauty." She is a charming girl whom all the plain people love, but she makes the mistake of stepping on a witch's toe. She is turned into a bore and causes everyone to go to sleep. Peabody and Sherman go back to the early railroad days for the race between the Tom Thumb train and a horse and carriage.
