Anyone remember "Underdog", "Tennessee Tuxedo", and the various segments that ran inbetween the shows?

They were products of Total TeleVision in New York. They are often mistaken as Jay Ward's products, primarily because both studios had their shows animated in Mexico at Gamma (not to mention they were both owned by General Mills), although TTV's writing style and voice acting is different.

While Ward's stuff is funnier, TTV have their own charm, with appealing characters, great voice acting, funny character designs, and nice storytelling (if formulaic).

There's a book out that's all about TTV, which I hear is pretty good (I just purchased it from Amazon yesterday).

Any thoughts about their shows?
