Droopy: Master Detective (TV Series)

Droopy, Master Detective was an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera. The show is a spin-off from Tom and Jerry Kids, the only other H-B show to air in first-run on the Fox Kids lineup on Fox. Droopy, Master Detective is a spoof of detective films and cop shows, featuring Droopy and his son, Dripple, as detectives on the mean streets of a big city. Newly-made seven-minute episodes were mixed in with seven-minute reruns from Droopy and Dripple's Tom and Jerry Kids appearances. The rest of the half-hour program was taken up by Screwball Squirrel, another Tex Avery creation from the 1940s. In these new cartoons, Screwy made his home in a public park, making life miserable for hot-headed park attendant Dweeble and his dog Rumpley — both, rather typical Hanna-Barbera comedy foes rather than Avery-inspired characters.
