The Bullwinkle Show (1959)

Season 1: Episode 100

With Alaskans, Hawaiians, and even Californians claiming to be U.S. citizens, Senator Fussmussen of the Congressional Citizenship Committee takes a stand! So our heroes bring out their entire library — The Farmer’s Almanac, The Bouncy Twins at Camp Wahoo, and even Bullwinkle’s personal volume of Ghastly Comix—to help the moon men pass the citizenship test. Unfortunately, Rocky and Bullwinkle’s ideas of what the moon men need to learn turn out to be along the lines of how many days in September (eighty!) and how do you make fire without matches (Rub two Scouts—that is, two sticks—together!). In fact, so badly do Gidney and Cloyd do on the test that the senator orders them deported...back to the moon! All official Washington turns out to watch the departure, but when Bullwinkle accidentally catches Senator Fussmussen’s jacket when he slams closed the spaceship hatch, the President has no choice but to appoint the senator the first interplanetary ambassador!
