Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales is an animated television series that originally aired Saturday mornings on CBS from 1963 to 1966 as one of the earliest Saturday morning cartoons.[1] It was produced by Total Television, the same company that produced the earlier King Leonardo and the later Underdog, and primarily sponsored by General Mills.[2] A co-sponsor was Pillsbury's Funny Face Drinks. (Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales debuted on CBS on the same day that King Leonardo last ran on NBC.[3]) The title is a play on the “tuxedo” dinner jacket worn as formal wear.
New short episodes[4][5] were created for YouTube in 2014 by Chuck Gammage Animation in Toronto, and Cartoon Lagoon Studios in New York. Sponsored by Trix cereal, they resided on[6] sillychannel.com. They feature the voice talent of Chris Phillips, Robb Pruitt and Ashley Albert.
