Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends: Canoe Who?ABC

Welcome to the 1960s, even if it doesn't yet feel like it. We'll be here much longer than the '50s. This episode has B & N, disguised as Indians, paddling a canoe back to Washington, D.C., while R & B follow on a boat made of the crashed plane, with half a tree for a mast. More memorable is the Fractured Fairytale with a Phil-Silvers-sounding agent and a beatnik-sounding town cryer, although unfortunately the characterizations are not carried over to the animation, which seems to be getting shoddier as time goes on. (Like the moment when Queen Elizabeth is on her throne and a puddle briefly appears beneath her.)
