    A classic cartoon!

    I just came across the theme song (we're The Chipmunks ooohhhh!). I started crying when I heard it because it reminded me of a happier time. A time when my entire week was built up toward Saturday morning TV. Once Saturday morning TV was over, a cloud of darkness appeared because I knew that I had school on Monday. This cartoon was one of the classic cartoons of all time. I feel sorry for todays generation, they don't get to experience the Saturday morning TV that my generation got to experience.

    This cartoon is up there with Captain Planet, Thundercats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    Childhood memories...

    Another Saturday morning cartoon I have a soft spot for...I even got a Chipmunks coloring book for Christmas one year! Cute characters and stories, and I thought it was so cool that Alvin, Simon and Theodore sang and did videos to the hot pop songs of the day (Up Where We Belong, Hungry Like The Wolf, etc). OK, it's cheesy now but it was great fun. By the way, has anyone else noticed that the Chipmunks theme song and Van Halen's "Jump" sound awfully similar?

    GREAT SHOW MOSTLY BECAUSE OF SUCH WONDERFUL SINGING

    I have wrote either one or even a couple of reviews for this show. If it weren't for Alvin coming up with a lot of wild ideas or anything like that, perhaps Dave, Simon, and Theodore wouldn't get so upset with him. On the other hand, both the Chipmunks and the Chipettes have even been adorable as babies. I sometimes feel sorry for Alvin, but it has been his own fault that his family, especially Dave gets very angry with him. All the same, the ways that they have sung either offscreen or onscreen are just wonderful. Their songs are very nice. The show deserves at least a "B" or "B+" for effort!!!

    I LOVED this show when I was a kid!!!

    "Alvin and the Chipmunks" was, and is STILL one of my childhood favorites. This show had good story plots, characters, humor, and it was original. The music was great as well. I loved it when Alvin, Simon and Theodore were singing songs from that time, and years earlier. This show is indeed one of the best. P.S. Don't watch the episodes where they lampoon movies. Those ones suck.

    This gets a perfect 10!

    I love the Chipmunks

    I think anything to do with the Chipmunks is AMAZING. I have been a fan of the series ALL the series for years now.

    Since then I've wished to have them at home. The songs are catchy all the movies and series are GREAT if your a real Chipmunks fan you'll appreciate all the series and their cuteness and the fact that they and the Chipette's are so cute.

    The series I would particularly like is "The Chimunks" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks".

    Alvin is cute and a lead singer. He's a babe and a star, Simon is smart back up singer and helps Alvins stay in line, Theodore is little babyish plays the drums loves his brothers and food.

    Brittany is a perfect match for Alvin she's also cute lead singer and very conceited she and Alvin are constantly challenging each other as they are both stubborn. Jeanette isn't so much naturally smart but more so clumsy and a gorgeous dweeb she's interested in the same things as Simon only that she must study to be half his equal. Eleanor and Theodore are a very good match because they share the same interests they both like food and are both chubby and proud except little blonde Eleanor is maternal and not so innocent.

    P.S. Does anyone know where it's possible to buy the series?!! Thanx

    • Trivia
      The complete series was lost media for a while as it's never been officially available on home video, DVD, or streaming, making viewing all episodes virtually impossible. Not to mention, the DVDs that have actually released have only select episodes which are out of order and severely edited from their original state (title cards and bumpers removed as well entire segments completely cut out). Eventually the full series was found and unofficially recovered on Internet Archive.
    • Goofs
      The Chipmunks clearly live in the United States, yet several of their adventures show them as secret agents travelling to "the border" and crossing over into what appears to be an Eastern European country.
    • Quotes

      Alvin Seville, Simon Seville, Theodore Seville: Watch out, 'cause here we come / It's been a while, but we're back with style / So get set to have some fun / We'll bring you action and satisfaction / We're the chipmunks / C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K / We're the chipmunks / Guaranteed to brighten your day / When you feel like a laugh / Give us a call we'll give you our all / And if you feel like a song / Tune in to us and sing right along / We're the chipmunks / Coming on stronger than ever before / We're the chipmunks / Alvin, Simon, Theodore! Do, do, do-do-do-do! Do, do, do-do-do-do!

    • Alternate versions
      In syndication, the first 52 episodes, from when the show was animated by Ruby-Spears Productions, along with the Valentine's and Reunion specials, from 1984 and 1985 respectively were purchased along with the first 11 episodes of season 6. In addition, most of, if not all of the episodes were time-compressed, and resulted in an increase in pitch. All episodes that have been released on VHS and DVD, have the original proper pitch reinstated.
