Loved that show. Rocky, Bullwinkle, Peabody, Boris, Natasha, Sherman,..

Crazy idea for a show, but she was hooked "after the second martini".
Very talented lady.

You don't want to be anywhere around when a bull tinkles.

On a bit more reflection, "Bulltinkle" sound a bit like something someone would say when when they want to swear without actually swearing: "Oh Bulltinkle!"
