Aesop did not tell 'fairy tales', he told 'fables'. While there are
similarities, fables are short stories (usually) that may sound like
simple fairy tales, but that are meant to teach a valuable lesson.

I believe the person who said 'Aesop' would be proud was not
referring to you, and implying that you were telling a fairy tale,
but rather to the person who created the Detective Columbo fable -
and the lesson one is to learn from that.

JMO,

Kilroy,

That is how I read it on my pixels.

But didn't Mr. Peabody and Sherman mix this one up too on Rocky and
Bulwinkle? Or was that another segment?

Replying in brief: The show skewered both fairy tales and fables ...
the former in the "Fractured ..." segment, the latter in the "Aesop &
Son" segment.

And the day they make "Rocky & Bluewinkle" available on DVD is
the day I'll be first in line @BJs. Same goes for "Get Smart"!
