The cartoon that was banned for 44 years. Some people though it didn't do right.

Just this episode was banned? I watched this cartoon a lot.

I loved the work of Jay Ward, Bill Scott and Ponsonby Britt cartoons. They were edgy and as I grew up, there were some pretty good double entendres.

The voice talent was clasic:

• Alan Reed
• June Foray
• Hans Conried
• Paul Frees
• William Conrad
• Daws Butler

I remember seeing Alan Reed (voice of Fred Flintstone) in an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show ("The Masterpiece") playing the auctioneer. Also, in this episode was Howard Morris (Ernest T Bass and many other voice characters) as the art expert.

Paul Frees had an amazing voice and dubbed voices in movies. You probably remember him in:

• The War of the Worlds - Dictating into a tape recorder as the military prepares the atomic bomb for use against the invading Martians
• The Time Machine - The apocalyptic voice for the "talking rings" in which he explains the ultimate fate of humanity from which the time traveler realizes the origin of the Morlocks and Eloi.

Only this episode of Dudley Do Right was banned. Apparently, the US Forest Service was very offended by Stokey the Bear and threatened legal action. So this episode was removed from that episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and not seen again for 44 years, when a full release of Rocky and Bullwinkle material was done.

Wow! I missed that episode forty plus years ago.
I can imagine Smokey The Bear and the US Forest Services was a little upset with Stokey the Bear.

I believe it was the very first episode of Dudley Do Right ever made.
