== Plot ==
Sylvester, Tweety, and their owner, Granny, along with bulldog Hector, solve mysteries, despite Sylvester still trying to eat Tweety in the middle of their sleuthing. Hector appeared in several classic cartoons alongside Tweety, Sylvester and Granny but in this series he was given a new design similar to that of Marc Anthony. Hector acts as a bodyguard for Tweety, sometimes beating Sylvester up (usually out of shot, but sometimes behind a blind).
Other Looney Tunes characters make cameo appearances, including Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Tasmanian Devil, Pepé Le Pew, Beaky Buzzard, Babbit and Catstello, Hubie and Bertie, Witch Hazel, Michigan J. Frog, Rocky and Mugsy, Marvin the Martian, Hippety Hopper, Gossamer, Count Bloodcount, Cecil Turtle, Nasty Canasta, The Crusher, Pete Puma, Goofy Gophers, and latter-day Warners cartoon stars Cool Cat (who also appears in some form in every episode) and Colonel Rimfire.

== Notes ==
* After cancellation, the final "orphaned" episode, consisting of "The Tail End?" and "This Is the End", did not air on The WB, instead premiering two years later on Cartoon Network. The reason as to why this occurred remains unknown.Erickson, Hal, Television Cartoon Shows: The shows, M-Z, McFarland & Company, 2005
* Despite being heard and seen (probably the voice of Greg Burson or Joe Alaskey) in the WB intro in every episode, Bugs Bunny is never seen physically anywhere else onscreen or mentioned in the entire series, in fact Bugs, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, and Wile E. Coyote are the only most prominent characters to not appear in the series.
