Actually, this was after the Linus show finished its run of original episodes. Those ran on CBS in the 1964-65 and 65-66 season, while this is a '66 production.
(The other interesting/ironic thing is it wasn't the violence in those episodes that got Linus yanked from Saturday mornings after 1968, it was the federal government via the FCC and the FTC ruling that you couldn't use animated commercial pitchmen and build a show around those same characters, as Post and Graham attempted to do.)
That show was already on the air at the time!! I saw this on CBrubaker's Bakin' the baker blog. I have ALWAYS loved the Ed Graham logo.I note he and Carl Reiner wrote and voiced, with George Shearing doing the music! This is obviously part of a series given the character billing.
Have this on 16mm, in Technicolor (looks like this copy came from a faded print).
Universal Pictures released it.

I didn't laugh much, but this style of animation is underrated.

Ed Graham and Carl Reiner would again work together on "LINUS THE LIONHEARTED" (for General Foods) on CBS.
