The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special is an animated television special starring Bugs Bunny and characters from the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies theatrical shorts. It was broadcast on October 26, 1980 on CBS. It was written by Jack Enyart and Hal Geer, and directed by Gerry Chiniquy.
Presented as an Alfred Hitchcock-style whodunit, the program focuses on Inspector Elmer Fudd, who is mistakenly arrested by Bugs for the bank robber known as "the tall, dark, stranger".
Like most Looney Tunes specials of the time, it consists of clips from classic cartoons linked with new original animation.
