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!
Tennessee Tuxedo does not fail in this DVD!Reviewed by PATRICK J.POWERS, 2009-09-05
This sure bring backs a lot of great memories from over 40 years ago. It's great to see this on DVD to enjoy time and time again. Some of the other reviewers are right...there were more than just 15 episodes made in this cartoon series. For now anyway I will enjoy this collection of Tennessee and Chumley. By the way I wish they would have had some of the bloopers from Don Adams in this. Don Adams will be best remembered for this cartoon and Get Smart! Enjoy!

Tennesse Tuxedo pleases my kids as much as it pleased meReviewed by Daniel P. Binet, 2009-01-07
I always enjoyed these cartoons as a kid. It was nice to find this dvd and share it with my children aged 4 and 5 and find out that they enjoy it as much as any of the current children's cartoons.
I'll Wait For A Box-Set If Ever One Comes Out Or...Reviewed by Trapper60, 2008-10-19
...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
products if they're of quality. But when the corporates figure to
toy with we customers to the point of ripping us off, well, get
with the program you bean counters and give us Americans the
quality of products we want and you'll get your money then. Until
then...
sign me,
One Pissed Off American Customer
