Obviously, these shorts have achieved much popularity, second only to the [[Bugs Bunny|big]] [[Daffy Duck|three]] [[Porky Pig|stars]] of [[Looney Tunes]]. One version of the classic series ''[[The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show|The Bugs Bunny Show]]'' even gave Tweety Bird top billing along with Bugs in "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". They were even popular enough to get their own TV [[Spin-Off]], ''[[The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries (Animation)|The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries]]''. Tweety also recieved his own [[Direct to Video]] movie, ''Tweety's High Flying Adventure''.

Nowadays, the characters aren't quite as active, but are still a central part of the Looney Tunes cast, currently making appearances in [[The Looney Tunes Show]].
