, , , consumers of epic literature and films. One of my favorite parts of Homer's Odyssey is when a Siren sits atop such a volcanic summit, singing a swan song designed to lure the Greek sailors to their doom on the jagged shoals surrounding her peak. In order to resist her mesmerizing tune, Ulysses has to plug the ears of all his rowers with wax. Since he wants to enjoy the death dirge himself, he orders his soon-to-be deafened crew to rope their captain firmly to the ship's mast. This prevents the wicked wench atop the glass from being able to slide into the sea and enjoy sailor stew with her cohorts. Literary sleuths recently discovered that Little Miss Mossback's "tough sit" is actually a glassy pinnacle, and here Bullwinkle's ENCHANTED FROG similarly yearns to ascend to a dame on a seemingly inaccessible butte.

It's the Weather, Stupid
Hitchcoc1 March 2021
In this episode we find Rocky in Washington at the National Weather Bureau. It is being run by Peter Peachfuzz. It turns out he was given this job because of his being wrong all the time. The weather bureau was the perfect place for him. Bullwinkle continues on his journey "somewhere," and Rocky is being pursued by fighter planes. The Enchanted Frog becomes too big for his pond and gets in trouble in the Fractured Fairy Tale, and Dudley Do-Right and the whole gang end up performing on stage. Quite funny.

. . . astounds everyone by accomplishing a difficult task the right way. However, this is exactly what Captain Peter Peach-Fuzz achieves during BURGLED MOOSE or THE MOOSE NAPPERS. More amazing still, Pete scores his big hit in a thoroughly anachronistic manner, dealing with one of Today's biggest problems more than six decades in advance. Under acting American intelligence service chief Peach-Fuzz's command, his agents perforate the High Kangaroo Court building with thousands of rounds, as if it had already been packed by 1960 with sects offenders, gun nuts, Russian agents and totally corrupt oligarchs. Talk about a preemptive strike!
Controversy has dogged this Bullwinkle Show episode.

Probably the most contentious aspect of Season 2, Episode 28 is the bit titled as THE ENCHANTED FROG. This sort of amphibian is not very popular within our American Homeland. Public schools have been notorious for many decades by requiring young students to dissect these green creatures. Kermit tried to stamp out this horrendous atrocity, but how loud can a grown up tadpole clog on a lily pad? At any rate, a lot of teens do not want to be reminded of their roots on Poppy Seed Lane, or whatever. In other words, pictures about amphibian frequently tank at the box office. Even though HOWARD THE DUCK did not spend as much time on land as Kermit, his profits also were considered a dumpster performance. If you're involved in green-lighting flicks, stay away from frogs!
The part of this episode receiving the most flack . . .

. . . is labeled as MR. KNOW-IT-ALL: HOW TO CONQUER YOUR ACROPHOBIA. The title itself seems to assume that all viewers will share a fear of heights. However, many people have a predisposition NOT to shy away from extreme altitudes. Those hailing from multi-generational backgrounds within America's Western pueblos and canyon-face dwellers, such as products of the Mesa Verde, Canyon of Shelly and Have-a-Soupy areas (as this site's spellchecker would have it) are so fearless on precarious perches at great heights that they famously installed the structural steel for many U. S. sky-scrapers and suspension bridges. Furthermore, for individuals with a heritage trending toward acrophobia, it would NOT be helpful to bail out from a plane without a working parachute.
