Production notes

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. Once Tennessee had his plan in mind, he was single-minded in his pursuit, exclaiming "Tennessee Tuxedo will not fail!" Once their projects failed- and they always failed- they would consult their educated friend, Phineas J. Whoopie, 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.
