The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries recap
Granny, the sweet old lady who owns Tweety in the classic shorts, is now a famous amateur detective who travels the world solving mysteries, with Tweety, Sylvester and her bulldog Hector along for the trip. Each case takes them to a new country, from Europe to Asia and beyond, where Granny is asked to look into a theft, a disappearance or a haunting. While she investigates, Sylvester spends every episode trying to catch and eat Tweety, and Hector, acting as Tweety's bodyguard, flattens him every time. Sylvester often stumbles onto the real clues by accident, but nobody understands him. June Foray voiced Granny, and Joe Alaskey voiced Sylvester and Tweety. The first season told one mystery per half hour; from the second, each episode had two shorter cases. It aired on Kids' WB from 1995 to 2000, for 52 episodes over five seasons.
