, , , discovered Up-See-Daisy-Yum. SOURDOUGH SQUIRREL reveals that his name is Henry. Just as AQUA-MAN reminds us that Humanity has only begun to plumb the secrets of the ocean deeps, this chronicle of the Deep Earth shows viewers that there likely are many elements, creatures and activities Down There that Science is still trying to discover. We all know that motion pictures beat science to the punch when it comes to powered flight, spacecraft, moon landings, atomic power, nuclear bombs and string theory. It stands to reason that Planet Earth must contain huge quantities of lighter-than-air metals to keep it spinning in Space, rather than falling to the floor of the Universe.

. . . I can honestly say that I do not recall ever seeing a witch living in a Gingerbread Home in or around Hog-Warts. It seems that if anyone would have a hankering for gingerbread, it would be Harry P. Raised by regular humans, gingerbread should have been a regular part of his diet. After all, during this episode of The Bullwinkle Show's fractured tale, HANSEL AND GRETEL are immediately aware that the mid-woods crone's house is made of that confection, implying that it's a staple of their own otherwise meager diet. When I was growing up, a German great grandma fed us a steady diet of mush, dandelion green salads and onion sandwiches whenever she came over to babysit us for a week. Never once did we get gingerbread. We were as deprived as the Hog-Warts students.

Doubtless the portion of this episode sounding . . .

. . . the most alarms for Real Life America is titled FRACTURED FAIRY TALES: HANSEL AND GRETEL. Well before anyone had ever heard of spotted owls, this story pictures a voracious wood-chopper representing Big Lumber who indiscriminately destroys an entire old growth forest without making any effort whatsoever to plant new trees for future generations to "harvest." Once all the trees are gone, this rapacious beast--aka, Hansel and Gretel's dad--begins a crusade to murder all the wildlife where the trees used to be. There is no indication that this slob hunter has obtain legal shooting permits. This brings us to the second big red flag: Over-eating, aka gluttony, as the one-time wood-chopper's spouse packs on at least 300 pounds. Finally, the coming scourge of Space Junk is briefly addressed, as the witch launches herself into a dangerous permanent low orbit of Planet Earth.

Afloat at the Switch

The search continues for the mine Bullwinkle inherited. The boys commandeer a train and while traveling, Peter Peachfuzz tells them the story of Upsidasium. It was discovered in an old western town by a prospector with some pretty incredible results. In the extras we have the Fractured Fairy Tale of "Hansel and Gretel." They have to leave home in search of food because all their woodcutter father can do is cut wood. They are tired of eat roast leg of log. Dudley Do Right goes after Snidely Whiplash, who has foreclosed on all the people in the Canadian north. Not only that, the Mountie camp was lost in a poker game by Inspector Fenwick. There's a really funny scene with Nell Fenwick going shopping. This is a really good Do Right episode.

For those of us who've never been able to run . . .

. . . two miles in less than 8 minutes and 45 seconds, MR. KNOW IT ALL: HOW TO RUN THE FOUR-MINUTE MILE--IN TEN SECONDS will be the most interesting aspect of The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 7. Everyone knows that Glenn Cunningham ran a sub-four time in practice during the 1920's, but ran slower in actual official track meets. However, by 1960 Roger Bannister and dozens of others had accomplished this feat. More recently, American Steve Scott did it 136 times, while New Zealand's John Walker notched 135 sub-Fours. More than 10 U. S. high school boys have "broken" four minutes at least once, and several older guys have done it twice in a row to win two-mile races. As of Today, the one-mile track meet record is recognized as 3:43.13--a clocking obtained more than 24 years ago! A moose's top speed for that distance is much slower than this.
