The Wacky World of Tex Avery is a French–American–Canadian animated comedy television series produced by DIC Entertainment and created by Robby London in 1997. The series was named after Tex Avery, a cartoonist who is known for his work at Warner Bros. and MGM. The creator describes the show as "homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era". The series was broadcast as a syndicated series in the United States and was also broadcast in Canada on YTV and Canal Famille, and in France on M6.
The show contains the following short series:
The cartoon stars a goat-riding cowboy named Tex Avery (voiced by Billy West) who saves the day and his girl Chastity Knott (voiced by Kathleen Barr) from his nemesis Sagebrush Sid (voiced by Billy West). Based on Bob Clampett's (a fellow animator at Warner Bros Studios in the 1930s) "Red Hot Ryder" from "Buckaroo Bugs" (WB 1944).
An obnoxious fly named Freddy (voiced by Billy West) bugs an obese billionaire named Amanda Banshee (voiced by Scott McNeil), whose continuous attempts to get rid of him often involve the most extreme of ways. Freddy is loosely based on one of Tex Avery's earlier characters, Homer the Homeless Flea from "What Price Fleadom" (MGM 1948).
A normal dog (voiced by Phil Hayes) gained superpowers after licking a superhero's shoe and became a superhero himself. Along with his blue cat sidekick Little Buddy (voiced by ), Power Pooch fights the crime in his town which usually involved him fighting Dr. Hydrant (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) and his bone-shaped henchman Boney.
