Droopy, Master Detective
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Droopy, Master Detective is an animated television series, starring Droopy and his son, Dripple (voiced by Don Messick and Charlie Adler, respectively). It was a spin-off from Tom and Jerry Kids.
The show debuted in 1993, airing on FOX for one season (1993–1994). It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios.
A spoof of detective films and cop shows, Droopy, Master Detective stuck the two dogs on the mean streets of an unnamed big city. Droopy was every bit as talented at catching the crooks as he had been in his theatrical shorts, and his deadpan humor kept the mood light.
Newly-made seven-minute episodes were mixed in with seven-minute reruns from Droopy and Dripple's Tom and Jerry Kids appearances. The rest of the half-hour program was taken up by Screwball Squirrel, another Tex Avery creation from the 1940's. "Screwy" made his home in a public park, making life miserable for hot-headed park attendant Dweeble and his moronic dog Grappley.
