Tall Tales & Legends (also known as Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends) is an American anthology series created by actress Shelley Duvall, and produced by Fred Fuchs, following her success with her first anthology series, Faerie Tale Theatre. It ran from 1985–1987 on Showtime as well as The Disney Channel and comprised nine episodes, adapted from various American-based folk tales and stories of bravery. The series was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. It itself was followed up by a four-part anthology series, titled Nightmare Classics.
