Growing up, we enjoyed Tennessee Tuxedo utterly a bit. we desired when Tennessee and Chumley would revisit Mr. Whoopee as we knew I'd learn something engaging as well.
So, when this DVD set was announced, we immediately pre-ordered it.
This set gives we all 70 episodes of Tennessee Tuxedo, as good as some episodes of The King and Odie, Tooter Turtle, Klondike Kat, and The Hunter.
For many fans, this is all we need to know. But for those meddlesome in a notation sum that Amazon's blurbs tend to overlook, greatfully examination on.
While we would contend this is expected a many consummate collection of Tennessee Tuxedo that we'll expected get, there are a array of issues that keep it from being a truly decisive collection fans had prolonged hoped for.
The many apparent change that fans will notice immediately is a thesis strain that a initial partial kicks off to is *not* a strange recording - even nonetheless a visuals are correct.
The strange thesis facilities a voices of Tennessee and Chumley, as good as a carol of masculine singers. The thesis that starts some-more than half of a episodes here sounds like one taken from a children's record, with a womanlike singer, *no* Tennessee & Chumley vocals, and no sound effects to go with a visuals (sound effects a strange opening had).
Thankfully, a strange audio *can* be listened as partial of a collection of bumpers, promos, etc. that is on front three. (This collection of several peculiar and ends is sourced from illicit video tapes, so a peculiarity ranges from common to utterly poor.) (Personally, we consider it would have been good if a producers of this set had total a strange soundtrack audio to a purify visuals and used that to open any partial instead of a non-original theme, that gets aged unequivocally fast...)
The swap opening method (used on about half of a episodes) seems to have a strange audio intact, nonetheless a visuals embody an on-screen "bug" in a top left corner. (A "bug-less" chronicle of this swap opening is on a aforementioned collection of bumpers/promos, nonetheless from a video source.)
The shutting credits method uses a kiddie-record audio (with a womanlike singer), nonetheless a original-audio chronicle (an instrumental) is partial of a promo/bumpers collection.
As for a episodes themselves, many seem to be taken from a strange film masters, nonetheless one brief ("Helecopter Hi-Jinx") was unequivocally sourced from video.
Twelve of a seventy Tennessee Tuxedo episodes are blank their strange pretension cards.
Visually, a cartoons are utterly colorful. However, any and any animation on this set (and a Underdog set too) suffers from unequivocally clumsy use of DVNR (digital video sound reduction).
(For those who don't know what DVNR is, it's a routine companies use to mislay film pellet when they "restore" aged footage. (For some reason, producers contingency consider that film pellet is inherently "bad".))
The problem when DVNR is stale - like it was here - sum and lines (especially black lines on a white background) are mostly obliterated. When shots are over-processed, tiny things (like Chumley's whiskers, or a lines that make adult Tennessee's eyes) are scarcely processed away, and spasmodic whole shots are ruined. (Towards a finish of "Tell-Tale Telegraph" all that's left of a black telegram wires is a array of angled damaged lines.)
In further to a 70 Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons, this set also includes 11 Tooter Turtle episodes, 38 shorts featuring The King and Odie, 35 episodes of The Hunter, and 5 Klondike Kat cartoons. (The ancillary cartoons seem to have all been mastered from film, nonetheless their openings are all mastered from illicit videos (except Tooter Turtle's, nonetheless his shutting shred was sourced from video.)
As with a Underdog set, there are a array of oversights and lapses in peculiarity control that competence be teenager on a surface, nonetheless ones that make we consternation if a producers of this collection unequivocally did all they could to make it a best display possible.
The biggest slip is a fact that a whopping *five* cartoons listed on a cases and in a pamphlet are not included.
In any case, a disclaimer pops adult on a DVD revelation us that a influenced cartoon's audio could not be found after a wrapping had already been printed. (For some reason, a sixth disclaimer also tells adult about an *unlisted* animation being AWOL as well...)
In some instances, a influenced animation was transposed with an swap title, nonetheless mostly this was not a case. (Here's a list: (disc 1) "Big Birthday Blast" [The Hunter] (replaced with "Raquet Racket"); (disc 2) "Bye Bye Bees" [The King & Odie] (replaced with "Nose For The Noose"); (disc 3) "Record Rocket [The Hunter] (no substitution); (disc 5) "The Unteachables" [Tooter Turtle] (no substitution); (disc 6) "Lincoln Tunnel Caper" [The Hunter] (no substitution); (disc 6) a disclaimer for "Grand Canyon Caper" [The Hunter] not being enclosed pops up, nonetheless this wasn't listed in a initial place (no substitution).)
Lapses in peculiarity control can also be seen with *many* titles being misspelled on a cases and in a booklet, and a few being totally misidentified. (For example, "Teddy Bear Trouble" was identified as "Koala Caper" in a pamphlet and on a DVD case.)
The bottom line is that if we wish any partial of Tennessee Tuxedo, this is a set that we would have to get.
But, a non-original thesis song, overuse of DVNR, AWOL episodes, and lapses in peculiarity control keep it from being a comprehensive greatest collection fans had prolonged hoped for.
(For those people who also buy a Underdog DVD set, here's a total of a TTV cartoons you'll get when total with this one:
Tennessee Tuxedo - all 70 episodes (TT set); Underdog - all 124 episodes (UD set); Go Go Gophers - all 48 episodes (UD set); Commander McBragg - all 48 episodes (UD set); Tooter Turtle - 23 of 39 episodes (12 episodes on UD set, 11 episodes on TT set); The King and Odie - 38 of 104 episodes (TT set); The Hunter - 35 of 65 episodes (35 episodes on TT set (the UD set has dual episodes, nonetheless both are also on a TT set); Klondike Kat - 19 of 26 episodes (14 on UD set, 5 on TT set)

My initial observation of these cartoons were when it was already in syndication as partial of The Underdog Show on Nickelodeon in a 90's, and after on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. we had watched any partial of Underdog several times over, and we creatively suspicion we had seen all of a episodes of Tennessee Tuxedo. Little did we know that there were customarily about 25 or so episodes that were shown with Underdog, while there were indeed 70 combined in total! we had special VHS episodes of Tennessee here and there that had additional episodes not shown in syndication, nonetheless even those customarily got a partial count adult to 30 to 35. we searched and searched for years for other episodes on a internet to no avail. The tangible Tennessee Tuxedo uncover seems to have frequency been shown in a strange form in years, and these other 30 or so episodes seemed mislaid to me.
Needless to say, we preordered both this DVD set and a Underdog set, distributed by Shout Factory. we have nonetheless to watch a whole set, nonetheless i've already spent a final several hours examination these "lost' episodes today. Everything here is of well-developed quality. Unlike prior DVD releases, these episodes come with a strange thesis songs and strange pretension cards. this set also includes several episodes of other TTV creations such as Tooter Turtle and a King Leonardo and Odie, that are dual other hard-to-find cartoons....especially a latter.
As distant as a animation itself, for those that don't know, it's about an anamorphic penguin and walrus that live in a Zoo, and get into all sorts of hijinx, customarily in a march of perplexing to improved their possess lives nonetheless with controversial results. In any episode, they find recommendation about a subject from a male with all a answers, Mr. Whoopie! This is where a animation takes a time to indeed learn a spectator about a topic. Such topics lonesome are how a tellurian heart works, a solar system, metabolism and exercise, how sugar is made, how to build a house, etc. It's a unequivocally fun approach to learn while examination an interesting cartoon. Granted, many of these episodes are old-fashioned when they speak about record given this is a rather aged series, nonetheless it's still educational.
For fans of a array from years ago, collect this set up! we can roughly pledge that even if we have watched these in syndication in a final few years, that over half a episodes on here are ones that we haven't seen before, or havent seen in decades! For newcomers, this uncover will be interesting for both adults and kids alike, and kids will indeed be training as they watch. Many times, sets like these do not have unequivocally prolonged imitation runs, so collect this adult ASAP as this extraordinary cost on Amazon, and while we are during it, go and collect adult a Underdog Complete collection as well! It's a same good peculiarity as this set : )

I've pre-ordered Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog. I'm usually extraordinary if TT will embody The King & Odie, Tooter Turtle and The Hunter or is it all TT?
Update: I've beeen told that this is Tennessee Tuxedo only. Hopefully that means that The King & Odie (along with The Hunter & Tooter Turtle) will get a possess box set.
