Inside the auditorium the theater was dark and all of the seats were empty. And then a beam of light split the darkness and the movie projector turned on and an old cartoon flickered on the big screen. A moose! A squirrel! A dog! A boy! The famous Rocky and Bullwinkle! And the famous friends Mr. Peabody and Sherman! And me the famous Narrator! The sound of my voice filled the theater. Now in our last episode our four heroes had set off on a camping trip in the middle of the woods outside of Rocky and Bullwinkle's hometown Frostbite Falls Minnesota.
Rocky: Nice day to go camping isn't it Bullwinkle?
Bullwinkle: Sure is Rock. And the great outdoors is so wonderful.
Mr. Peabody: And the weather is perfect being at a perfect 64 degrease Fahrenheit with perfect sunny weather.
Sherman: Nice day to do some fishing. Want to do fishing with me Bullwinkle?
Bullwinkle: Gee Sherman i would like that.
So Bullwinkle and Sherman were just settling down to fish when suddenly our heroes three arch rivals appeared: the villains Boris Badanov and Natasha Fatale and their fearless leader Fearless Leader who are disguised as park rangers. As Bullwinkle and Sherman started fishing with Rocky and Mr. Peabody coming to help them the rangers came over.
Boris: Welcome visitors to the middle of the woods!
Rocky: Hokey smoke who are you?
Boris: Allow me to introduce myself I am Fish and Game Warden Forrest De Spoiler. And this is my lovely associate Lotta Chicanery. And our delightful helper Frances Lipper
Natasha: The pleasure is all yours dollink.
Fearless Leader: Agreed.
Rocky: Haven't i seen your face somewhere before?
Boris: Yes you have seen me on my employe of the month awards in my camping schools. And i got you a new fishing rod which will get you a new fish.
Bullwinkle: Wow! I would love to have one. How much is it?
Boris: It's for free!
Bullwinkle: Okay. So what kind of fish can i get to use with this?
Boris: It gives you biggest fish ever!
And there was a big fish that was underwater. But it turns out to be a metal fish filled with 26 sticks of dynamite. And Boris had a control that will make a match light the fuses and it's going to kill our heroes.
Boris: Soon when Moose gets big metal fish he and his friends will be dead!
Natasha: Except there is one wrong thing Boris.
Boris: What is that?
Natasha: Fish are not made of metal.
Boris: Silly girl. It is made of steelhead. Then I press the button on this remote the match inside the fish lights and fuses go on and Moose gets it and it explodes and we've killed them!
Rocky: This fishing pole looks like it's made out of nuts and volts! Are you sure this will let us catch a fish?
Boris: Correction! Is broke trout!
Rocky: I think you're making this all up!
Boris: Listen Buddy. Am i trying to tell the truth?
Rocky: Well i guess so.
Immediately Boris pressed the button the match inside the metal fish lit all the fuses of dynamite and Bullwinkle flicked a switch on the fishing pole and the metal fish was coming right to Bullwinkle's new fishing rod. Soon Mr. Peabody and Sherman came over.
Mr. Peabody: Do you guys need some help to get the fish?
Sherman: Yes we'd be delighted to help you both.
Mr. Peabody: After all a man named Adam was the first man to do fishing didn't know anything about it. But another man named Dr. George Gamow from George Washington University explained the actual nucleus is three feet that nobody understood. And fishing is styled as a contemplation to man's reaction and science is a more contemplation to man's reaction.
Anyway the fish was getting closer and closer and Bullwinkle was getting even more excited then ever.
Bullwinkle: I can hardly taste that fish now!
And Bullwinkle's hand went to the hook. Expecting an explosion the three wardens reared back ready to take off. But just as Bullwinkle was about to pull the hook and blow him Rocky Mr. Peabody and Sherman to smithereens a force outside their cartoon world stepped in and stopped everything.
Force: The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is now officially canceled!
Then everyone's jaw dropped.
All: Canceled?! But the cartoon isn't even over yet!
The cartoon sun went down behind them like a lead balloon throwing the entire theater into darkness.
Rocky: Hey who turned out the lights?
Bullwinkle: I can't even see my hand in front of my own face!
Mr. Peabody: Well as It's really explained darkness means it's a symbol of evil and fear. But this isn't your average normal everyday darkness. This is actually advanced darkness.
Sherman: Well if it's dark it's not well we can't see. Since Mr. Peabody and I wear glasses.
Mr. Peabody: No Sherman the narrator means darkness which is an area of limited light sources making things hard to see.
Sherman: Oh.
They were canceled for the second time! It was 1964 all over again which was the year when The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show disappeared from network television forever! That was the year when Boris Natasha and Fearless Leader went back to Pottsylvania and when Mr. Peabody and Sherman went back to their penthouse apartment in New York City and Our heroes Rocky and Bullwinkle went back to their house in Frostbite Falls Minnesota. What would things be like for our heroes? Well find out soon in our next part Canceled Observable or My Show's a failure.
