The Bullwinkle Show (TV Series) Boris Badenov and His Friends?/Bars of Steal, or The Hard Cell (1961) User Reviews

Bullwinkle fans have been debating for decades . . .

[pixrox1 · 7/10 · 20 April 2024]

. . . whether or not a question mark belongs at the end of the title for the first part of this episode's BURIED TREASURE story arc, Boris Bad-enough and His Friends. Certainly, when the narrator announces this as the next part of the Picayune Pot Saga at the close of Part 10, he voices this heading in the interrogative tone. Furthermore, Spike, Slug and Three-Finger--the trio comprising Boris' Five Pernicious Pachyderms Minus Two gang--frequently hold him at gunpoint, causing pusillanimous Boris's knees to quiver fearfully, so whether or not they can be considered as allies or friends to their diminutive leader is truly questionable. However, when this chapter's title is printed on-screen, there is no trace of a question mark present. Therefore, the debate rages on.

None of the other commentators have noticed that . . .

. . . when you search this site for the title BORIS BAD ENOUGH, MASTER OF DISGUISE--the fifth of five Bonus Features included on Disc 4 of the 2003 Jay Ward Productions\Sony-Wonder DVD release called "Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends"--the most relevant search result you get is BORIS BAD ENOUGH AND HIS FRIENDS?/BARS OF STEAL or THE HARD CELL from April 2, 1961's Bullwinkle television offering. These parts of the "Buried Treasure" serial, presumably running the standard 7 minutes, 50 seconds, have a longer combined duration than MASTER OF DISGUISE, a fast-moving montage of clips from many previous serial parts, which only lasts 1 minute, 6.57 seconds.

In Case You Need the Case

The boys aren't able to put the money in the bank, so they get Bullwinkle arrested and he is in a jail cell with the loot. Boris has a great idea but it doesn't work and another tunnel is built. This is getting to be along episode. Features: "The Shoemaker and the Elves," where a poor shoemaker insults the king and is never to make another shoe. But the elves come in and make more, setting the guy up for beheading. In another racist Peabody and Sherman, they go back to Kentucky to see Daniel Boone.

The so-called broken fairy tale from this . . .

. . . episode of The Bullwinkle Show has disappeared into the bowels of the Internet as if it had never existed. The on-screen title is given as THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER, but the DVD index calls it THE SHOEMAKER AND THE ELVES #2. At any rate, it is busted bedtime stories' second stab at adapting this classic tale, previously the source for dozens of earlier cartoon variations. The original splintered fairy tale featured a cobbler who doubled as a frustrated artist, saddled with a scheming spouse who ended up cornering the market for high-end footwear. This second, seemingly unavailable, take on the story centers on a three-way conflict between a shoemaker, an unhinged monarch and a rogue band of troublemaking elves. The last line here is "There's no business like s-h-o-e business."

. . . Big Cookies. The monolithic Big Cookie Industry was well on its way to becoming the $20 billion financial juggernaut it's become Today by the time that Bullwinkle's Corner: Fan Club #3 was released in 1961. As mergers, buy-outs and consolidations melded Big Cookies into fewer and fewer corporate packages, a sweets-addicted nation forked over more and more of its rent money, prescription funds and rainy day cash to satisfy its cravings for chocolate chip mini-discs, fudge wafers and corrugated peanut butter circlets. As Fan Club #3 documents, a basically unregulated business is prone to circulating deadly peanuts, bacteria and foreign contaminants. That's how the cookie crumbles.
