Jay Ward's Dudley Do-Right is a parody of a genre that scarcely needs to be parodied. The style of melodrama it spoofs is so hokey and overblown by modern standards, it gets laughs even when done straight. Even the elements that go beyond the old silent movie serials and the 18th- and 19th-century music hall entertainments they were based on — such as Nell being in love with Dudley's horse — seem almost normal in the context. Dudley was first seen in in 1948, in The Comic Strips of Television, where he was test-marketed along with Crusader Rabbit. His first actual use in a series, however, came in 1961, when Rocky & His Friends switched networks to NBC and changed its name to The Bullwinkle Show. Dudley Do Right (Picture 1).

It was one of the back-up features, along with such holdovers from the original series as Peabody's Improbable History and Fractured Fairy Tales. It proved the most popular of the lot — and the only one to later get a show of its own. Its 39 four-and-a-half-minute episodes were rerun in 1969-70 as the lead feature of ABC's The Dudley Do-Right Show.Or at least, 38 of them were. One episode, "Stokey the Bear", about a bear hypnotized into starting, rather than preventing, forest fires, was pulled from the series after one airing. The U.S. Forestry Service objected to what it saw as degradation of its mascot, Smokey Bear. Dudley Do-Right was originally the creation of co-producer Bill Scott, who also provided the character's voice; but producer Jay Ward also had a hand in development. Dudley Do Right (Picture 1).
