It seemed as though Total Television was content with just having Klondike arrest Savoir in every episode, rather than find other miscreants for him to track down. As I said, this was meant to be a parody, but the joke got old real quick.
Worse, each short, including intro, lasted barely 5 minutes. Today, cable networks waste as much as 5:00 on repetitive commercials while editing classic toons to death. A revival now would require Klondike needing to find other, more dangerous crooks, and using his wits.

Yeah I remember this. It was ok, but as you mentioned, it was a one trick pony and the entire affair being boring. The best part though was it encouraged me to take French in JR High.
I was going to take French myself, since I'm 1/4 French on my late father's side of the family, but then I transferred to a private academy before my freshman year, and that went out the door.
It's exhibit A on how not to do a parody.
