''Dog City'' was an animated/Muppet series based on a half-hour segment in ''[[The Jim Henson Hour (TV)|The Jim Henson Hour]]''. The original "Dog City" was about an anthropomorphic German Shepherd named Ace Yu, facing bulldog gangster Bugsy Them (the Dogfather) in a ''film noir'' environment. The segment was just recently released on DVD from Lionsgate, excluding the Jim Henson Hour part.
 
In the series, Ace became private eye Ace Hart, and Bugsy became Bugsy Vile. They also became cartoon characters, with the original puppet versions becoming Eliot Shag, the cartoonist, and Bruno, the super of his apartment building. Other characters from the special were transplanted similarly; the character appeared in the cartoon, and the puppet appeared as someone in Eliot's building, supposedly inspiring him to create the animated version. Ace and Eliot would also have conversations with each other about the progress of the stories and how Eliot uses what he draws in the cartoon to solve problems in his real life.

* [[Rubber Band History]]: Baron goes back to the time the pilgrims purchased the new world from the natives and made a better offer: squeak toys. This created a Bad Future where he rules. Somehow, Ace and Eddie had [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]] and, after visiting a timeline where Eddie ruled, went back to the past and made an even better offer: a technologically advanced (even for present time standards) fire hydrant the heroes took from the Eddie-ruled timeline.
* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]]: "Comedy of Horrors", featuring blink-and-you'll-miss-them cameos of other characters, up until Ace and [[Card-Carrying Villain|Baron]] [[Gratuitous German|von Rottweiler]] crash.
