Production notes

Originally broadcast on the Rocky and His Friends show.

This segment featured dog-genius Mr. Peabody and his "boy" Sherman traveling through history via Peabody's "Wayback Machine." Each episode showed the duo traveling throughout the ages as they helped important historical figures (Columbus, Galileo, Edison, etc.) actually achieve the pivotal discoveries that changed history. Mr. Peabody used his dry wit to end each episode with a pun loosely disguised as a moral for Sherman and the audience to learn from.
