"And now, here's something we hope you'll really like!"
I loved that line -- every time poor Bullwinkle failed to pull that darned rabbit out of the top hat he would say it and I would smile.
Bullwinkle Moose was such a good soul, but he was such a doofus. But, my childhood Saturday mornings wouldn't have been the same without him.
A Brief Glance At Bullwinkle
Bullwinkle J. Moose is a fictional character in the 1959?1964 animated television series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, often collectively referred to as Rocky and Bullwinkle, produced by Jay Ward and Bill Scott. When the show changed networks from ABC to NBC, its name was changed to The Bullwinkle Show, reflecting the popularity of Bullwinkle.

Bullwinkle's Best Friend -- Rocky The Squirrel
Rocket J. ("Rocky") Squirrel is Bullwinkle's best friend and sidekick. Rocky is a really good guy, if a bit naive, and he is really really smart. He can usually come up with a creative solution to get himself and Bullwinkle out of a jam. Besides his cleverness, Rocky also has the ability to fly (sometimes you'd swear you heard a jet engine when he takes off!). Rocky and Bullwinkle share a house in Frostbite Falls, MN.

The Other Cartoon Parts Of Bullwinkle's Universe~~
The "Rocky & Bullwinkle" cartoons served as "bookends" for several other popular supporting features, including:- Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties: A parody of early 20th century melodrama and silent film serials of the Northern genre. Dudley Do-Right was a Canadian Mountie in constant pursuit of his nemesis, Snidely Whiplash, who sported the standard "villain" attire of black top hat, cape, and over-sized mustache.
- Peabody's Improbable History: Featured a talking dog genius named Mister Peabody who had a pet boy named Sherman. Sherman and Peabody would use Peabody's "WABAC machine" (pronounced "way-back", and partially a play on early computer brands such as UNIVAC and ENIAC) to go back in time to discover the real story behind historical events, and in many cases, intervene with uncooperative historical figures to ensure that events actually transpire as history has recorded.
- Fractured Fairy Tales: Presented familiar fairy tales and children's stories, but with story lines altered and modernized for humorous effect.
- Aesop & Son: Similar to "Fractured Fairy Tales", except it dealt with fables instead of fairy tales. The typical structure consisted of Aesop attempting to teach a lesson to his son using a fable. After hearing the story, the son would erode the fable's moral with a pun.
- Bullwinkle's Corner: Featured Bullwinkle attempting to inject culture into the proceedings by reciting poems and nursery rhymes -- inadvertently and humorously butchering them. Poems subjected to this treatment include several by Robert Louis Stevenson ("My Shadow", "The Swing" and "Where Go the Boats"), William Wordsworth's "Daffodils", "Little Miss Muffet", "Little Jack Horner", and "Wee Willie Winkie", J. G. Whittier's "Barbara Frietchie", and "The Queen of Hearts" by Charles Lamb.
- Mr. Know-It-All: Again featured Bullwinkle posing as an authority on various topics. Disaster invariably ensued.
- Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club: A series of abortive attempts by Rocky and Bullwinkle to conduct the club's business. The fan club consisted only of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, and Captain Peter Peachfuzz. Notably, these shorts seemingly break the fourth wall by showing these characters "out of character," as opposed to their portrayals in the 'regular' Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes.
- The World of Commander McBragg: Short features on revisionist history as the title character would have imagined it; this was actually prepared for Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales (and later shown on The Underdog Show).
