June Foray & Bill Scott – Rocky & Bullwinkle
An evening pause: For those who grew up in the 1960s. Everyone else is sadly deprived.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

That was fun.
Bought the series (on tape) years ago. Still have it, and still enjoyable.
“For those who grew up in the 1960s. Everyone else is sadly deprived.”
I have had a number of twenty-somethings tell me “Your generation got all the good music.”
Yes. Yes, we did. And TV shows like this.

Also, we should remember Mel Blanc, creator of about 400 distinct carton voices.
Up there with Pau Fries-is Ken Nordine. Word Jazz…
What great characters – Mister Peabody and Sherman, Natasha Fatale, Boris Badenoff, Fearless Leader, Dudley Doright and Nell,, the denizens of Fractured Fairy Tales, Rocky, Bullwinkle – absolute comic genius ! I haven’t seen the show in sixty years and I remember them all. Sitting on the floor in front of the TV and laughing with my mother and father….I even learned something when they would explain an obscure historical character in the Wayback episodes

Wayne: Oh man, I know what I am goin’ be doing at one half hour every day for the next few months. Thank you.
Ref: the link at the Archive I posted above.
A correction: (I spoke too soon) >>”looks to be from the DVD set, with season 3, 4, and 5 uploaded in their entirety.”
Season 1 & 2 are not included, but I will explore deeper.
These will stream via the embedded player, (no sign up or log in required) but if anyone wants these for download, just go to the “download options” box at the listing. These are available in .mp4 and .ogv format.
Wayne: I watched what they labeled as season 1, episode 1 (s1e1) and am firmly convinced that was the first aired episode, based on the material presented (including the story of how Peabody got his boy Sherman).
Mr.. Z.,
OK, yes, you are correct.
Season 1 & 2 are listed in the embedded player, but they are absent in the listing of download files.
