The Snoop Sisters is an American mystery television show that aired on NBC during the 1973–1974 season.

The show stars Hollywood film legends Helen Hayes and Mildred Natwick as two elderly sisters who routinely stumbled across mysteries which they solved. It may have been inspired by the 1971 ABC television movie Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate, which also starred Hayes and Natwick working together as amateur sleuths.
Both Natwick and Hayes were nominated for an Emmy award for their work on the program; Natwick won. Only four 90-minute episodes of the series were ever produced. The series aired on a monthly rotation (referred to as a "wheel") as part of the NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie, trading timeslots with Banacek, Tenafly, and Faraday and Company. Of these series, only Banacek demonstrated any longevity.
Although the series did not last it made an attempt to cover timely material by featuring musician Alice Cooper, essentially as himself, but called "Prince", in an episode entitled The Devil Made Me Do It which aired March 5, 1974.[1]
