The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries is an animated television series which aired from 1995 to 2000 on Kids' WB! and was later re-run on Cartoon Network. It follows Looney Tunes characters Sylvester and Tweety Bird, and their owner Granny, along with bulldog Hector (who appeared in two 1952 cartoons alongside Tweety, Sylvester and Granny but was in the series given a new design similar to that of Marc Antony), as they solved mysteries, even with Sylvester still trying to eat Tweety in the middle of solving the mysteries, but Hector acted as a bodyguard for Tweety, and would even beat Sylvester up (usually out of shot, but sometimes behind a blind). The series was dedicated to the memory of Friz Freleng, who had just died in 1995. The series successfully attempted to recapture the spirit of the original shorts.
Other Looney Tunes characters make cameo appearances, including Yosemite Sam, Pepe le Pew, Hubie and Bertie, Witch Hazel, Rocky and Mugsy and latter-day Warner cartoon star Cool Cat who appears in some form every episode.
The final episode of the series never aired on Kids' WB!, but did air on Cartoon Network in 2003. [1]
