Alvin and the Chipmunks is a animated comedy that aired on NBC. It was an all-new edition of Ross Bagdasarian's novelty act which previously appeared in cartoon form as The Alvin Show.
Dave Seville is still the harried manager, composer and surrogate father to Alvin, Theodore and Simon, only now they have counterparts--The Chipettes. Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor are three singing girl chipmunks under the management and care of elderly Mrs. Miller. Brittany is the vainglorious diva, Jeanette is shy and rather smart, and Eleanor is the chubby Chipette.
After five seasons, the show was renamed The Chipmunks. Two seasons later, it became The Chipmunks Go to the Movies and was then made by the DiC Animation company.
