| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales | comment |
Total Television created this Saturday-Morning Cartoon for CBS in 1963 as a response to the famous "vast wasteland" speech given two years earlier by Newton Minow, who was then head of the FCC.Tennessee Tuxedo, a penguin, and his walrus friend, Chumley, sought to improve their lives in the zoo. Despite gaining helpful information from their friend Phineas J. Whoopee, Tennessee and Chumley still ran afoul of zookeeper Stanley Livingston.Supporting segments included The Hunter and Tooter Turtle, both repeated from King Leonardo and His Short Subjects, as well as The World of Commander McBragg. The series' voice talent included Don Adams as Tennessee Tuxedo, Bradley Bolke as Chumley and Larry Storch as Mr. Whoopee.When CBS acquired the broadcast rights to Underdog in 1966, Tennessee moved to ABC, where it aired Sunday afternoons. In syndication, Tennessee Tuxedo ran on its own as a series and as a component of Underdog. | |

Blind Without 'Em | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: Zig-zagged in an episode which had Tennessee competing in a bowling match against Jerboa Jump, who tricks Tennessee into thinking he needs glasses. Jerboa gives him a pair of glasses with bottle caps in place of the lenses, rendering him unable to see. Mr. Whoopee then explains how the human eye functions. | |

Right Behind Me: When Tennessee goes to complain about not getting fresh vegetables, Stanley says he has no time to talk because the Mayor's wife is coming to inspect the zoo, saying that she's a battleaxe. Stanley doesn't realize she was behind him until Tennessee bows to her. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy: No matter how many times Tennessee and Chumley drive Stanley up the wall with their antics, he can't seem to keep an eye on them long enough to prevent them from escaping the zoo again and again. (He does manage to prevent it in a couple episodes.) | |

Senseless Violins: Gangster Rocky Maninoff does this; often when he threatens Tennessee and Chumley, claiming if they fail he will play a tune on his "violin," followed by imitating machine gun noises. In one instance ("Phunnie Munnie") he even takes his machine gun out of his violin case and fires it at the ceiling when threatening the duo! | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: At the end of "Wreck of a Record", Stanley reluctantly lets Tennessee's folk group sing in the stage show. Also, Tennessee and Chumley manage to win the sailboat race in "Sail Ho!" mostly because Jerboa loves cheating so much. The Christmas Episode "Tree Trimmers" has Stanley congratulate Tennessee for his unauthorized Christmas tree since it managed to win over the mayor and his wife for a contest. | |

Afraid of Doctors: Simply saying the word "dentist" to Chumley will make him leap on the chandelier and refuse to come down. An episode where he has a toothache results in this refusal, causing Tennessee to try some rather bizarre ways to extract the tooth before Mr. Whoopee convinces Chumley to see a dentist. | |

Recoil Boost | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_a33efe7c | comment |
Recoil Boost: In one of "The World of Commander McBragg" shorts, McBragg uses the recoil on his high-powered rifle (which was responsible for getting him into this mess in the first place) to propel himself out of the pit he had fallen into. In another tale, he hefts a cannon single-handedly and similarly uses it as a rocket to propel himself out of danger, and get back to his regiment just in time for a spot of tea. One version of the opening theme shows him marching into battle, firing a cannon under his arm, whilst the Bragging Theme Tune sings, "With a cannon in hand, he can lick any man! Or so says the brag of McBragg!" | |

Tall Tale | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_b747dbd8 | comment |
Tall Tale: The World of Commander McBragg consisted of McBragg (loosely based on Baron Munchausen) telling ridiculous tall tales about himself, including how he carved the Grand Canyon, built the Great Pyramid and dug the Panama Canal. One of them is, quite literally, a "Fish Story". Or so says the brag of McBragg. | |

Gentleman Adventurer: Commander McBragg. If his tales are to be believed (and that's a big if), he spent his career as a military officer and explorer. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In 1998, when the Houston Oilers moved to Nashville, Tennessee, ESPN's Chris Berman referred to the team as the Tennessee Tuxedos. A "blooper" on the game show Whew!: The play "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was written by Tennessee Tuxedo. (Correct response: Williams) | |

Warm-Hearted Walrus | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_caa6ae69 | comment |
Warm-Hearted Walrus: Chumley the Walrus is the stalwart sidekick to the motivated penguin Tennessee. Though he speaks with a Simpleton Voice, he's remarkably competent once he's told what to do, and despite being among the largest characters in the series, he's very much a Gentle Giant. | |

| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_d07edd79 | comment |
Thermal Dissident: In the pilot episode, Tennessee, unlike other penguins at the South Pole, does not like the cold. When Stanley Livingston shows up, wanting to put Chumley in the zoo because he's a South Pole walrus and therefore unique, Tennessee insists on being taken along as well. | |

Expy: Commander McBragg displays a great deal of similarity to P.G. Wodehouse's Mr. Mulliner and The Eldest Member. Physically and vocally, he strongly resembles the actor C. Aubrey Smith. | |

Sequel Episode | |

Sequel Episode: One of Tennessee and Chumley's scheme involved the duo trying to start their own coal mine, only to dig under Stanley Livingston's office instead. Several episodes later, that tunnel caused Stanley's office to sink to one side, leading Tennessee to try to fix the foundation. | |

Running Gag | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Every time Mr. Whoopee goes to his badly cluttered closet to get the 3D Blackboard to use as a visual aid, an avalanche of junk falls on him. (In some episodes, Tennessee and Chumley clearly expect this, and cover their ears before the crash.) | |

Real After All | |
| Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales / int_fb724048 | comment |
Real After All: Whilst "The World of Commander McBragg" shorts generally leave the viewer under the impression that McBragg is at least exaggerating, if not making it all up, there is one exception. In the episode The Giant Bird, McBragg claims to have been adopted by an enormous female bird. At the short's end, he offers his companion a lift; when said companion politely refuses and turns away, he is briefly covered by the shadow of a huge bird — and when he looks back, McBragg is gone and a giant bird's feather is drifting in the wind! | |
