I was already an avid 'Rocky and Bullwinkle' fan when Hoppity Hooper hit the screen. My love of Jay Ward Productions continued throughout their many years as the reining producers of Saturday morning TV. And memories of their punny, witty plots continue to give me a smile and a laugh.

Hoppity Hooper could've been a rabbit's name, but to avoid a spot-on parallel to Brer Rabbit, they made the main character a frog.<br /><br />Now, did any of the satirical themes in the Brer Rabbit stories show up in Hoppity Hooper?<br /><br />BTW, I used to think that Waldo Wigglesworth was a wolf.
