Wow!

Tennessee Tuxedo, Chumley, and Baldy appear in a commerical for General Mills' Frosty-Os Cereal which originally appeared during an episode of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, which aired at the time over CBS television.  This commercial was from the 1964-65 season.  It was back in the days when stars appeared in integrated commercials that appeared during their respective shows.  General Mills sponsored (and owned) Tennessee Tuxedo.

While Bradley Bolke (as Chumley) and Kenny "Senator Claghorn" Delmar (as Baldy) appeared in this ad, Don Adams, who starred as Tennessee's voice, did not appear.  Mort Marshall, who played the voice of Tennessee's nemesis, Megopolis Zoo manager Stanley Livingston, filled in.
