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 ... Read More
Rating:  - This was a great gift!!!
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 ... 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.
Rating: - BEN STERN IS ON THIS!@#
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"
