It aired from [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation October to December 1993]] on Creator/FoxKids, and lasted for 13 episodes, with ThreeShorts to each episode. The show heavily parodies detective films, with Droopy and Dripple as the main characters. It also brought back Screwy Squirrel, now called "Screwball Squirrel," in his own shorts in between. Along wtih containing shorts that featured characters from ''Tom and Jerry Kids'', some shorts also introduced original characters that have not been featured in previous works.

* ScrewySquirrel: Guess who? Screwball's shorts had him antagonize Dweeble and Rumpley at every turn. Whether or not it was karmic depended on the given story. Some shorts did have one-off antagonists that did deserve the torment Screwball that dished out.
