On November 19, 1959, "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" premiered on ABC. The show was created by Jay Ward, who worked from a studio in Hollywood. The show was ostensibly for children but contained Cold War satire, puns, and references that flew over children's heads. Bullwinkle's hometown was Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. The show's villains were Boris and Natasha, who were clearly Soviet. The fact that a cartoon about a moose and a squirrel was also a commentary on geopolitics is the most American thing.
