    Productions, or Total Television or simply shortened to "TTV", was an American animation studio founded in 1959 by Buck Biggers, Chester "Chet" Stover, Joe Harris, and Treadwell D. Covington. They were executives in the advertising agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample who had the account for General Mills, from there, TTV was formed to create mascot characters for General Mills and their cereal brands.

    In 1960, TTV moved on to produce their first animated series: King Leonardo and His Short Subjects, which debuted for NBC's 1960 Saturday morning lineup and involved a set of four cartoons in one half hour show. Following the success of that series, TTV went on to produce a series of other shows and cartoons the rest of the 1960's decade, arguably the most iconic being The Underdog Show in 1964. The animation work for these animated series were done by Gamma Productions, who did most of the animation for Jay Ward's own shows such as Rocky and Bullwinkle. Even though Ward and TTV weren't related, it wasn't uncommon for their two works to be mistakenly grouped together due to their similarities.
