Seasons
Season 1
Jet Fuel Formula is the first and the longest Rocky and Bullwinkle story arc and is the pilot of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. (Jet Fuel Formula covers forty episodes while the average story arc includes approximately sixteen.) It is also noteworthy in that it established most of the characters, themes, running gags, and other elements that would be employed in later stories and that would become so closely identified with the Rocky and Bullwinkle programs in the years since. The first few episodes contained a laugh track, which was removed when the episodes were released as part of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends Complete Season 1. In spite of the title, the story actually concerns the pursuit of a formula for rocket fuel.

Fractured Fairy Tales - Rapunzel
In this comical retelling, the long-haired Rapunzel lets her hair down, but things don’t go quite as planned. As suitors attempt to climb the tower, Rapunzel’s long locks lead to a series of humorous entanglements, giving a playful twist to the classic fairy tale.
Bullwinkle's Corner - The Swing
Bullwinkle recites Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem The Swing, capturing the joy and thrill of swinging through the air. As Bullwinkle shares the poem, his attempt to demonstrate the fun of swinging leads to a series of amusing mishaps, turning the serene imagery of the poem into a lighthearted adventure.
Peabody's Improbable History - Ben Franklin
The origins of Mr. Peabody and the WABAC machine: Mr. Peabody finds Sherman in the street being beaten up by some bigger boys. At first, he doesn't think that he's the right sort of boy- but when he sees how he is treated in the orphanage, Peabody decides to adopt him. At first, there's a problem when they won't let a dog adopt a boy- but he goes to court, and the judge decides that if a boy can have a dog, then a dog can have a boy! Sherman comes to live with Mr. Peabody, who builds him the Wayback Machine in order to keep him busy. They go back in time to Rome, and then to see Ben Franklin.
Jet Fuel Formula (2) - Bullwinkle's Ride or Goodbye, Dollink
Because the rocket fuel recipe had been torn apart in the explosion, Bullwinkle knows how much but not what of, so he and Rocky set to work in their government laboratory, while at universities all over the country, cake baking is being added to the scientific curriculum. Meanwhile, after failing in an attempt to time-bomb the Moose, Boris and Natasha do what any intelligent, self-sufficient spy with real initiative would do: They wait for instructions!
Jet Fuel Formula (3) - Bullseye Bullwinkle or Destination Moose
Those little green men holding extremely ominous-looking weapons aren't congressmen, as Bullwinkle first surmises--they're Gidney and Cloyd, reluctant visitors from the moon, here to keep an invasion of earth tourists from cluttering up their homeland. Indeed, just to prepare for their visit, the two have had to practice dodging traffic, listening to jukeboxes, filling out forms, and breathing smog! Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha, twelve stories up, with a heavy safe as our heroes stroll by below, finally receive orders from headquarters: KILL MOOSE!
Fractured Fairy Tales - Puss and Boots
In this humorous retelling, Puss uses his wits and charm to turn his master, a poor miller’s son, into a wealthy noble. However, in this version, Puss faces a series of unexpected obstacles as his clever plans begin to unravel, leading to a series of comical misadventures. The story playfully explores how even the best-laid schemes can go awry, with Puss still managing to come out on top—just not quite as smoothly as planned.
Bullwinkle's Corner - Little Miss Muffett
Bullwinkle reads and performs the classic nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffett, with Rocky taking on the role of the spider. As Bullwinkle portrays Miss Muffett sitting on her tuffet, the scene quickly turns into a comical back-and-forth between him and Rocky, with the spider causing far more chaos than fright.
