Dudley Do Right: Stokey the Bear

Dudley Do Right: Stokey the Bear Dudley was first seen in in 1948, in The Comic Strips of Television, where he was test-marketed along with Crusader Rabbit. His first actual use in a series, however, came in 1961, when Rocky & His Friends switched networks to NBC and changed its name to The Bullwinkle Show. It was one of the back-up features, along with such holdovers from the original series as Peabody's Improbable History and Fractured Fairy Tales. It proved the most popular of the lot and the only one to later get a show of its own. Its 39 four-and-a-half-minute episodes were rerun in 1969-70 as the lead feature of ABC's The Dudley Do-Right Show. Or at least, 38 of them were. One episode, Stokey the Bear, about a bear hypnotized into starting, rather than preventing, forest fires, was pulled from the series (never to be broadcast again) after one airing. The U.S. Forestry Service objected to what it saw as degradation of its mascot, Smokey the Bear. Dec 28, 2008 6:32 AM
