The Alvin Show is a short-lived primetime animated series from the early 1960s, based on the highly successful "David Seville and the Chipmunks" records by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., produced in association Format Films for Bagdasarian Film Corporation. It is the first animated series to feature Alvin and the Chipmunks.It follows the lives and shenanigans of the Chipmunks (in this series, they were further developed as a trio of rambunctious kids) as they often cause mischief towards their high-tempered human father figure and manager Dave Seville, who was based on the series' creator, Ross Bagdasarian, (Sr.)note Also known as "David Seville", a name he originally used when he recorded his hit song Witch Doctor, which the Chipmunks perform (with Dave) in one episode, as well as other songs.. Bagdasarian provided the speaking and singing voiced the three rodents as well as voicing the hapless bachelor Dave.Aside from the seven-minute Chipmunk segments, the show also had segments featuring the misadventures of bumbling inventor Clyde Crashcup voiced by Shepard Menken who essentially re-invented various items and took credit for dreaming it up in the first place. His “creationsâ€� often backfired on him until his silent, hyper competent assistant Leonardo saves him from any further self-destruction.Twenty six episodes were produced for the "Chipmunks" and "Clyde Crashcup" segments along with fifty-two musical segments. It used a Three Shorts format with the "Clyde Crashcup" segments sandwiched in between.Despite being drawn in color, the show was played in black-and-white format in primetime against the hit Wagon Train though it didn't fare well in prime time and was cancelled after the first season. However, the characters themselves proved to be enormously popular with young viewers — the show popped in in repeats on CBS Saturday morning in 1962, airing to widespread success for three seasons.The series later was revived on NBC-TV, being promoted under the title Alvin and the Chipmunks Saturday morning between March 10, 1979 and September 1, 1979.Viacom Enterprises distributed reruns of The Alvin Show to local stations to coincide with its successor, Alvin and the Chipmunks.Nickelodeon picked up broadcast rights for the show in 1994 and ran the episodes daily until early 1995. During that time as well as sometime afterwards, the individual cartoons and musical segments were inserted into episodes of Weinerville. After this run on Nickelodeon, the show vanished from the airways, never to be seen again…NOTE: Tropes under here are specifically for the '60s cartoon series. Tropes exclusive to the whole franchise go in Franchise.Alvin and the Chipmunks; Tropes exclusive to the '80s cartoon series go in WesternAnimation.Alvin and the Chipmunks; Tropes exclusive to the 1987 animated film go in The Chipmunk Adventure; Tropes exclusive to the Direct to Video movies go either in:invoked Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein; Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman; Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks; Tropes exclusive to the live action/CGI movies go in Film.Alvin and the Chipmunks; Tropes exclusive to the 2015 cartoon series go in ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks. | |

Totem Pole Trench: Seen in "Disk Jockey," when the Chipmunks do this to try and get a radio station to play their new record (wearing a long coat, with Alvin on top wearing a hat and wig), and they probably would have succeeded if Theodore hadn't poked his head out of the disguise and said, "You're welcome!" among being thanked by the DJ. | |

Laugh Track: Averted. Bagdasarian insisted that the show skip the addition of a laugh track, against the wishes of the network. Though there was the sound of clapping that could be from a machine in "Wild, Irish Rose", when Alvin mentions to Dave that the audience wants to see Dave have a haircut. | |

Out of Character: In-Universe at the beginning of "Lovesick Dave", where Alvin breaks the lamp with his paddle ball and shatters it. Instead of yelling at Alvin, Dave asks if he's all right. Dave doesn't even yell at Theodore when zooming by him wearing roller skates or at Simon when he tripped over the bespectacled chipmunks' ball, which the Chipmunks to suspect something is up, though it appeared Simon noticed Dave's strange behavior before the episode started. | |

Actor Allusion: In the "Witch Doctor" musical segment of The Alvin Show, Dave exclaims "I made that record once!" in regards to the Chipmunks wanting to sing the song. This is because Ross Bagdasarian didn't consider "Witch Doctor" to technically be a Chipmunks song, the first true song by the Chipmunk Trio being "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)." | |

Book Ends: The "Witch Doctor" song segment, opening with an Ominous Owl flying and perching onto a branch and hooting at night, to which it pans to the Chipmunks' ranch house for the segment to begin. Then at the end, after Dave and the Chipmunks (unintentionally) scare the neighbors with their witch doctor masks, we cut back to the tree where the same owl flies off the branch and into the camera. | |

My New Gift Is Lame | |
| The Alvin Show / int_630e5e56 | comment |
My New Gift Is Lame: A musical segment based around "Christmas Don't Be Late" sees Alvin searching under the tree for a hula hoop and finding instead, to his chagrin, such gifts as a necktie and poetry book. Subverted when he finds a framed photo of Dave with a hand-written dedication, which gift Alvin quietly hugs to himself as he continues his search. | |

Oh, Crap!: In the episode, "Stanley the Eagle", when Dave finally sees the eagle* either the Chipmunks named him Stanley or he already had that name, it's never really specified, he starts freaking out. At the end of "Yankee Doodle" musical segment, Alvin sends a whole bunch of bowling balls that substituted as canons toward Dave, who's in the orchestra pit. Dave probably had to be in the hospital for... at least 100 days. Midway toward the end of "Working on the Railroad" musical segment, Dave is pushing the tram on the train tracks the boys are on, trying to out run the train. Turns out it was just a prop and the four are actually on a set, filming. At the end of "Lovesick Dave", the boys do a double take after Dave just cancelled about constructing a pool in the backyard for them. | |

Show Within a Show At one point, the Chipmunks are watching a Clyde Crashcup segment. The chipmunks appeared in some parody reality show in the "Chipmunk Fun" musical segment. In "Ostrich", Dave tells the boys there will be no TV for two weeks unless they remove the ostrich from the top of their car (which the ostrich thinks is an egg): | |

Irony | |
| The Alvin Show / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: When driving to the Chesley Estate Dave inherited in "Haunted House", he describes the old place as "Magnificent structure, those stately white pillars, that beautiful landscaping, those formal garden..." When we the viewer see the place, it's anything but that. The house is in shambles both inside and out, the garden is a sight for sore eyes... well he got the white pillars right... In "Sam Valiant Real Estate", after seeing a vulture perch itself on a sign reading "Vachaua (?) Estates", which Sam Valiant called "Bird of Paradise", he says "Look at the enjoyed faces of those youngsters!" We cut to Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who were previously outside standing next to Dave, peeping out of the window inside the car looking anything but enjoyed. | |

Cassandra Truth: Dave called the cops about Stanley the Eagle. When the cops arrived, Stanley isn't there but high above the air, flying in circle and the cops (who think Dave spends too much time composing music) drag him to jail or wherever. | |
