The Best of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales

Good quality of DVD and good packaging.Watching this cartoon was time traveling for me. I went far away to my childhood. I won't comeback.

I bought this for my kids (OK and for me too) as many of the lessons from this show that I learned as a kid still stay with me. I know the basic idea behind an internal combustion engine and the light bulb thanks to Mr. Whoopee.The quality of the video transfer is excellent. However, all the bumpers on either end of each episode are gone. It makes the episodes seem a bit disjointed. Also, the theme song ("Come on and see, see, see, Tennessee Tuxedo...) has been re-recorded by someone. Why didn't they use the recording of the original singers? Of course my kids don't know the difference, but for me it was grating.All-in-all, this is still a must-have collection. The printing on the DVD itself, has Mr. Whoopee explaining how a DVD works. My kids (7 & 9) LOVE the antics of Tennessee and Chumley and are getting smarter with every episode they watch. I just wish the producers had kept more of the lead-ins and the original song.

I'm in my mid 40's and I watched Tennessee Tuxedo in its original form on a thirteen inch black and white Zenith TV back in the mid 1960's. I am thrilled just to see Tennessee and his friends in color (I didn't know they were in color) and in a high quality reproduction on a modern TV.That said, there's something very sterile about this approach to packaging these old cartoons. It's really not like watching those great old shows I remember over again because what you have here is fifteen or so Tennessee segments (many more episodes were produced) cut out of their original context and presented pure, alone, and rather clinically at that. (And with a weird and totally out-of-context promo for a Casper the Ghost show that you have to view every time you put in the DVD.)There's a certain fun factor that's been removed. It's like an exhibit in a futuristic museum of 1960's kids TV. You can see, but you can't really experience the subject matter.I just wish more of these cartoons would be released like the Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons have been: seasonal box sets with the original stuff all there.

Awesome show for kids and adults wanting to relive the 1960's cartoons. Great buy.

Tennessee Tuxedo is a completely goofy show about a penguin who wants to prove that he is as good as a man, and his walrus friend, Chumbley.In the course of the stories Tenn. always runs into torouble and runs to consult Mr. Whoopee, the man who knows everything. Mr. Whoopee uses the 3-d B.B. to explain bridge building, electricity, sculpture, physics, and more. The education is intertwined so well in the story that my children have no idea they are learning anything.

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!

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.

Did a great job! Order arrived promptly and as advertised. Thank You
