was changed to The Bullwinkle Show, reflecting the popularity of Bullwinkle.

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is the collective name for two separate American
television animated series: Rocky and His Friends (1959 – 1961) and The
Bullwinkle Show (1961 – 1964). Rocky & Bullwinkle enjoyed great popularity
during the 1960s. Much of this success was a result of it being targeted
towards both children and adults. The zany(adj.愚蠢滑稽的) characters and
absurd plots would draw in children, while the clever usage of puns and
topical references appealed to the adult demographic. Furthermore, the
strengths of the series helped it overcome the fact that it had
choppy(adj.起伏不定的), limited animation; in fact, some critics described the
series as a well-written radio program with pictures.

weren’t there”.

Peeps are small marshmallow candies, sold in the , which are shaped into baby
chickens, rabbits, and other animals. There are also different shapes used for
various holidays. Peeps are primarily used to fill Easter baskets, although
the Just Born company is trying to change that by introducing new shapes and
advertising “Peeps - Always in Season”. They are made from marshmallow, sugar,
gelatin(n.凝胶), and carnauba(n.<植>巴西棕榈) wax. Peeps are produced by Just
Born, a candy manufacturer based in . Just Born claims Peeps were introduced in
1953, but most aficionados(n.<西>疯狂粉丝) say that Peeps were originally
manufactured by Rodda Candy Company starting in the 1920s. When Just Born
acquired Rodda Candy Company in 1953, they automated the process (originally
the chicks were formed by hand) and mass-marketed them. The yellow chicks were
the original form of the candy — hence their name — but then the company
introduced other colors and, eventually, the myriad(adj.无数的) shapes in which
they are now produced.
