Did you know
- TriviaThe name of Mr. Peabody's time machine is WABAC (pronounced "Way-back"). It resembles a typical computer of the time, which could take up an entire room of the office building. Such computers often had names like ENIAC or UNIVAC, with AC standing for Automatic Computer. Show director Gerard Baldwin stated that WABAC was intended to parody UNIVAC specifically. (In Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014), WABAC's full name was retconned as Wavelength Acceleration Bi-directional Asynchronous Controller.)
- GoofsMany of the depicted historical figures bear little resemblance to the real people. However, Peabody does explain in Show Opening (1959) that WABAC is not really a time machine, but a should-have-been machine. It is a gateway to a sanitized idealistic version of history. E.g., this explains why everybody they meet speaks American English.
- Crazy creditsThere are three different opening titles sequences for Peabody shorts. One is the parade, where Peabody and Sherman ride in a Roman Empire chariot behind elephants, soldiers, and a litter with a beautiful woman relaxing on it. Another is Sherman walking through a museum which displays pictures of Peabody throughout history. Rounding out the list is the one with Peabody and Sherman riding a succession of vehicles into the past.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Murphy Brown: My Dinner with Einstein (1989)
Featured review
. . . the focal point of PEABODY'S IMPROBABLE HISTORY: DON JUAN centers around a common garden vegetable; namely, the lowly onion. These ground appetizers were first discovered by a Greek named Aristotle Plato in 4,926 BC. Legend has it that Arie, as he was known to his fellow farmers, stumbled across a wild onion while cultivating a field for his asparagus crop around 8 AM on a Friday morning Be that as it may, there are seven major species of commercial onions, breaking into 391 distinct varieties when all is said and done. Mr. Peabody does not make it clear to which type of white tuber Mr. Juan becomes addicted. Chances are that it is the Rebel Vidalia product.
