TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In the 90’s, the Looney Tunes brand, attempting to maintain relevancy, began creating all manner of strange spin-offs and features. Some of them were kinda bewildering, like the box-office basketball crossover Space Jam as well as Taz-Mania, wherein they give the Tasmanian Devil a job as a bellhop and a family with a father based on Bing Crosby. One of these spin-offs was called The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, which put Sylvester, Tweety, Granny, and Hector the bulldog together solving mysteries around the world for eccentric characters. Granny acted as a sort of Miss Marple-esque investigator, and Sylvester served as the narrator and general focal point of the show.
