Description:
Voiced by the late-great Don Addams (who portrayed Maxwell Smart on Get Smart, and later voiced Inspector Gadget), educated as well as entertained youngsters.
Tennessee, a wisecracking penguin, and his dim-witted pal, Chumley, resided in the Megalopolis Zoo. They were constantly scheming against zookeeper Stanley Livingston and his assistant Flunky, in an attempt to raise the quality of zoo-life. Their projects required the assistance of their educated friend, Phineas J. Wheepee (voiced by Larry Storch), and his 3-D BB (a three dimensional blackboard). The 3-D BB helped demonstrate basic scientific principles through the use of instructional film clips (a technique also used that year by Ken Snyder's syndicated Funny Company cartoons).
15 of the greatest episodes are here for all to enjoy the Penguin paranoia!

...perhaps I'll look for a pirate version that has the complete series available. I hate doing that but my money is valuable to me and how and what I spend it one better be of real quality. I'm tired of corporate bean counters dictating to me what they will deign to throw at we Americans rather than pleasing the customer as businesses once did in this country, a long time ago now.
I was forced to buy a pirate version of another series, Batman the '60s TV series, as it seems there is no release going to be made for this show at all, not merely any time soon, but at all. I did my research on this and found a site from a guy who worked on the series intimately and he said there is likely never to be a release of the Batman television series.
But there was someone online who made very good quality home recorded DVDs of it. So, if the corporate fascists won't take care of us customers then we'll take care of ourselves.
You greedy corporate thieves want my and other Americans' money? Then you all better damned well come across with what we want and in a quality form in all things. Wall Street crashing recently and how angry We, The People are with all you greedy thieves should tell you all something.
Back to Tennessee Tuxedo. I'll give the corporate brains six months from the date of this post to come out with a full series package. Then if nothing happens, I'll see what other avenues on the net avails me of what I want. I have no problem in buying legitimate ... Read More

My Mom really enjoyed reminiscing over her childhood with this cartoon! She was quite happy with this as a "no special occasion" gift!
Rating: - Timeless animated classic - 'sort of' DVD
I never even heard of 1940s cartoon show "Tennessee Tuxedo" until shortly before I got myself this DVD. And boy do I love it. From Total Television ("Underdog"), this show follows the adventures of suave, optimistic penguin Tennessee Tuxedo and his dimwitted walrus pal Chumley as they try to improve life in Megopolis Zoo. This involves everything from installing light bulbs to deep-sea diving. To assist them in accomplishing their goals, Tennessee and Chumley have the help of Phineas J. Whoopee and his three-dimensional blackboard (the 3DBB for short). To make matters more difficult are oppressive zookeeper Stanley Livingston as well as an assortment of unpleasant characters. But whether Tennessee or Chumley succeed, their adventures always have a distinct, laid-back charm to them.
"Tennessee Tuxedo" debuted on "The Underdog Show", and has an animation style similar to that wave of animation which was popular in the 1940s. There is something really nice about the atmosphere of this show. It has a kind of early-morning, drinking-your-coffee feeling about it. Not to mention is it really educating for many adults, since explanations as to how things like the telephone, light bulb, telegraph and more function are very clear and interestingly presented. And the adventures themselves are often deceptively profound, with Tennessee and Chumley always trying to improve their lives and often others', but meeting nothing but heavy opposition because they're a penguin and a walrus. Especially Chumley the ... Read More

They don't make cartoons like this anymore. Sure, the graphics are much better today, but the stories are not as compelling. Adults can enjoy Tennessee and his friends with as much glee as children, although they might have to keep it a dirty little secret from others who might not understand.
In addition, the talented Ben Stern can be heard coaxing a wonderful performance from the vocalists as they render the famous theme song in one of the extras available on the DVD.

You can here Howard Stern's Dad "Ben" on the outtakes.
You should buy this now and "don't be stupid you moron".
The cartoon itself is as I remembered it. Very enjoyable and representative of simpler times. The bonus features aren't that great but it's great to see T.T. again!
"Thank You"
