Talk:Sylvester the Cat

Untitled

I just got a female sylvester cat. Did sylvester ever have a girl friend and what was her name. We are having trouble picking one out.

Sylvester is my hero. He never, ever gives up.

• At least one cartoon shows Sylvestor's family-Mrs. Sylvestor and Sylvestor Jr. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.53.145.170 (talk) 18:38, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Did you notice?

Nobody ever fed that cat, no wonder he always want to eat Tweety Bird...

Another little secret... If he have no other choice,Sylvester would reveal his true idenity- Undercover Operative,who can leave James Bond wa-a-a-y behind - with felloff jaw... He just too stereotype loser,to be who he looks like... he more looks like super- spy, who not wery good playing role of some fool.Plus,he never gives it up,he twin with cat on 311 marine squadron badge,and have detective expirience - just think about it...6tert

Sufferin' Succotash?

"Sylvester's trademark exclamation is "Sufferin’ succotash!", which is said to be a minced oath/euphemism of "Suffering Savior" "

-- I'm not sure about this claim; the exclamation is unlikely to mean anything in particular, other than being an expression of frustration / amusement / excitement. Succotash is a vegetable dish; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succotash . Kostikrus (talk) 11:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

But that's what a minced oath is, a nonsense phrase said in frustration as a substitute for an actually offensive sexual, scatalogkcal or perceived blasphemous phrase. oknazevad (talk) 13:25, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

DVD

Has anyone ever seen a DVD of Looney Tunes cartoons?--andreasegde (talk) 12:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, I found it. --andreasegde (talk) 12:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

FWIW, there are several more such Looney Tunes DVDs — see The Looney Tunes Golden Collection — and so far there are five out right now, with a sixth and final DVD coming out later this fall. After that, there will apparently be more Looney Tunes DVDs released, just under a different series. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 17:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Judy Canova Show reference

I added a line in the article about Blanc doing a character named Sylvester in The Judy Canova Show using the Sylvester voice. This appearance predates the cat's first appearance in the cartoons. My source for the information: a rebroadcast of the September 7, 1943 episode of The Judy Canova Show, as heard on XM Radio's Old Time Radio channel August 13, 2008. I don't know the proper way to include that citation in the article, so I've put the information here and hope that one of you can help out. Rreini (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I've found a way to do the citation, so I've added it. Rreini (talk) 15:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Kudos! Nice work! :) — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 23:36, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Sylvester (Looney Tunes) → Sylvester the Cat – Sylvester is not only in Looney Tunes, but also in Merrie Melodies; the subject of article is often referred to as "Sylvester the Cat"; moreover a name without disamb. is better Ioannes Pragensis (talk) 06:42, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes to first sentence on the lead

TONE-TONE59 has edited the first sentence of the lead to reflect that Sylvester the Cat can also be referred to as Sylvester. I have reverted (as has Binksternet) as I think that this reads rather awkwardly, and is superfluous given that we refer to him in that way throughout the rest of the article - it's self-evident. I'd invite them to explain why they think this is an improvement, and would also welcome others' views. Best GirthSummit _(blether) 20:43, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I think it is redundant. Any person and character with "Sylvester" as the first name can be referred as simply "Sylvester" for short. Dimadick (talk) 21:34, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Jeff Bergman voicing Sylvester in 1993?

I've done my research, and Jeff Bergman has not reportedly voiced Sylvester for anything that premiered in between 1991 and 1997. Brian K. Tyler (talk) 17:36, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
