Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales - 1965-66

Tennessee, a wise-cracking 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. Once Tennessee had his plan in mind, he was single-minded in his pursuit, exclaiming "Tennessee Tuxedo will not fail!" Once their projects failed- and they always failed- they would consult their educated friend, Phineas J. Whoopie, 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.

Thanks, Cori. I love watching these cartoons from my childhood. Stanley's comb-over is exactly 4 hairs.

[@SteveCarras]

Same from me,Cori. I saw these,too,60s-70s. BTW the last one has TT&Ch's mutua; friend Freddy Cat running away from living in a haunted house and Tennessee pulls the old MGM Droopy bit, what TvTropes.com would call Offscreen Teleportation!

Dudley Doright was the mountie and Nell the girlfriend. And Snydly Whiplash was the bad guy.

[@stevensprunger3422]

I really love, how everything communicated in present day, United States society is all, and nothing else, but an ancient political party's ideals, religion, and politics😁.

Duh! Tennessee!!😮

[@MrBROTHERFELDER]

Mr. Whoopie always slipped in a little education. This was a top notch cartoon!

[@ronjohnson5070]

This music is not what I remember?…

[@dontastodgh1067]

This is a totally different print. The theme song is (supposedly) a prototype version, and the other theme song is an extended version of "Come and See, See, See". The rest of the cartoon plays in European PAL speed as I noticed while watching the cartoons. There are unrestored versions of the cartoon ripped on a VHS recording from WDZL (now WSFL) channel 39, in the early '90s by KZbinr "siresounds".

[@erichb4021]

Cori thank,s for putting these videos on here. I love old cartoons too.

[@dpf5939]

This is not the original theme song.

[@cori1396]

I think they changed it for the DVD set.

[@dpf5939]

Probably. On the original theme they also had voice actors Don Addams and the voice for Chumly. Loved this as a kid.
