Peabody's Improbably History is a series of segments in late 50's to early 60's TV shows Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, created by Ted Key and produced by Jay Ward. It follows intelligent dog Mr. Peabody and his "pet boy" Sherman as they travel through time and give new reasons to iconic events in history.

The two main characters were adapted into a CG feature film with alternate plot elements, produced by DreamWorks Animation and titled Mr. Peabody & Sherman in 2014. A TV series based on the film, The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show, was released in 2015.
