Template:Infobox Series The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, produced by Warner Bros. Animation, is an animated television series which aired from 1995 to 2000 on Kids' WB!, and was later re-run on Cartoon Network. The first season was dedicated to the memory of Friz Freleng who had died three months before the series premiere.

The series returned on reruns for the Pet of the Week promotion, but hasn't been reran since.

Plot

The show follows Looney Tunes characters Sylvester, Tweety Bird, and their owner, Granny, along with bulldog Hector, as they 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, Pepe 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.
