What happens

Tooter Turtle is an American animated television series about a turtle which first appeared on TV in 1960, as a segment of the King Leonardo and His Short Subjects program. Tooter Turtle debuted on NBC, on Saturday, October 15, 1960, and ran for 39 original episodes through July 22, 1961. These episodes were later rerun as backups on other cartoon shows, but no more original episodes were made. The main premise is that Mr. Wizard will use his magic to send Tooter Turtle into time traveling adventures. At the end of each episode after Tooter is saved, Mr Wizard repeats the moral, "Be just what you is, not what you is not!" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
