Here’s a local TV trivia question from the early 60s:
Whose voice was used for the ghoulish introduction and eerie laugh to KCPX’s Friday evening Nightmare Theater program?

Fireman Frank, of course. (i’ll admit I’m a little disturbed to see how easily and vividly I remember these things that I haven’t thought about for literally decades.)

How about Bullwinkle’s middle name?

The same name (or initial - I’m not sure which) as Rocky the Squirrel.

I have to admit that I’m a little alarmed at how much of this sort of worthless trivia from 50+ years ago I remember also. Here’s the thing, it’s OK as long as you can still remember what happened yesterday… when all we can remember is what happened 50+ years ago, well, we’ll be in a memory care uinit somewhere

Fireman Frank is one of my very earliest memories from 69 onward until Hotel Balderdash, which I never really got into,

At the time I was watching Rocky and Bullwinkle I didn’t grasp the significanceof the cold war going on. Only years later could I realize how clever it was to have two characters named Boris Badanof and Natasha Fatale. From a place called Pottsylvania. Gentle, clever, parody.
From the Web:
Boris Badenov Quotes:
-
“Phooey! Foiled again!”
-
“It’s good to be bad!”
-
“Look, it’s his show. If he wants to be hard to kill, let him.” (Responding to Natasha noting Bullwinkle was supposedly killed in a previous episode.
-
“Sharrup you mouth, Natasha.”
-
“Those pigs! They took my dynamite.”
Natasha Fatale Quotes
-
“Don’t you mean, ‘Curses! Foiled again!’?”
-
“Boris, dahlink, throw the medal overboard!”
-
“You are so bad, you’re good!”

-
“Don’t be sourball, Boris.”

I allways loved Natasha’s voice. So deliciously over the top. She was a lot of familiar voices, including Cindy Lou Who. Her proffesional story is compelling too. A class act.

As a half aslep teenager many years ago I mistakenly put Brylcreem on my toothbrush one morning. It woke me up pretty quickly. That stuff was nasty!

I just noticed the can in that picture is “king sized”. I can’t imagine buying deoderant whose size is compared to a Snickers bar.
