Oh, this is a wonderful memory. This is about as accurate as I’ve seen such re-creations. Thank you for this. I remember seeing this one first premiered. I definitely did not want to miss an installment each week.
Someone else uploaded this episode from The Bullwinkle Show version that still has the original laugh tracks. Jay Ward got them to quit using laugh tracks after the first few episodes.
If I had access to that I'd have used it, provided the audio quality was good. Originally Paul Frrees was the Narrator, and was replaced by William Conrad. Also, the original Frank Comstock Music Cues had been removed in later issues. I put the originals back in and also added the original sound effects as close as possible. So many making posts of this nature have been lead to think that the forms are the originals because the soundtracks have been altered for rebroadcast and home video due to music rights issues.
This looks great! The first segment of the Rocket Fuel story had real good audio somehow for being made in the late 50s. I hope Dreamworks or Universal does a proper restoration of this show someday. Where did you get the instrumental music track?
Unfortunately, the Bullwinkle's Corner bit still has the Fred Steiner music on it. Here's a copy of it which includes the original Frank Comstock score: ruclips.net/video/0JBWtoy--SA/видео.html
Yeah, I'm aware of it. I could, find it at the time I put this together. The music and sound effects for the interstitial had to be recreated. If I had access to the Comstock cue for The Swing BELIEVE ME, I'd have used it. After all, I saw these when they originally aired, and saw the originals rerun many times before they were altered for The Bullwinkle Show.
Thank you. I was going to do the same thing with HUCKLEBERRY HOUND and that's already been done. I reconstructed the first RUFF N' REDDY broadcast in a sense. This sort of thing could be of interest now.
Very nice reconstruction! The bit at 2:25 where you can briefly see a snippet of the original animation of Rocky about to grab the flag was still there in the revised 1961 version of that opening, with the still shot of the flag reading "The Adventures of BULLWINKLE AND ROCKY" (replaced with the newer series logo for this remaster, later episodes would actually cut that brief snippet of animation to make it less obvious).
@@KokujinYmir Right, that's what they originally said when this show first started in 1959 as "Rocky and His Friends". But when it was reworked into "The Bullwinkle Show" in 1961, that was when they replaced the "Rocky the Flying Squirrel" title shots with a new one reading "The Adventures of BULLWINKLE AND ROCKY", creating a strange case of redundancy when we'd see the "With BULLWINKLE THE MOOSE" title afterward.
Why is it that when Rocky would fly around the flag. They were just cut it off. Same thing he was diving off the diving board. Did they have to remove the animation?
Because in the original cut on ABC, when Rocky flies around the flag, the notice would read, "Rocky the Flying Squirrel", followed by "featuring Bullwinkle The Moose". This occurs on the other openings as well. Then when The Bullwinkle Show premiered on NBC, that notice was replaced with "The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle". Now its been re-replaced with "The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle And Friends". (which explains why Bullwinkle's name appears twice.) Trust me, @alanslattery7602. I watched it when the series first premiered at age 5 and still maintain a good memory. 🙂
Thank goodness the majority of the cartoons were in color. It would have been nice to have the entire General Mills openings an closings in color. So I had to insert those sections from a mediocre black and white source.

@@RayPointerChannelWilliam Conrad is the narrator in today’s episode in 1959.
I sure wish I could find copies of all the episodes with everything intact and unedited. This is a good start tho!
Looks great! Thanks.

True, if only the Comstock music got to be used on the restored versions.

Really excellent job! I was literally just trying to do the same thing!

@@RayPointerChannel I would love to check them out! Using your basic template, I am editing a few more of these early R&B episodes :-)
@@SM7609 Maybe we should get together on this?
@@RayPointerChannel I am 1000% in! I’m pretty sure I can share with you what I’ve done so far!
Very nice reconstruction!

Uh,no,my friend. The original flag noticed, billboard sign, diving board, and snow mountain shots would read: "Rocky The Flying Squirrel". Trust me!

When shown on NBC it was removed because it made reference to the original title
Aired on November 19, 1959.
Something that a Premiere might’ve been good in a Color Restoration.
