What have we got here? What have we got?From Uncle Grandpa storyboard artist and Channel 101 veteran Myke Chilian comes Tig 'n Seek, a Cartoon Network animated series streaming on HBO Max.Set in Wee Gee City, the show follows the adventures of eager young sleuth Tiggy von Tigglewinks (voiced by Chilian) and his Gadgeteer Genius cat Gweeseek as they solve cases and retrieve lost items at their day jobs at the Department of Lost and Found. There, the duo frequently interacts with their canine boss named... well, Boss (Rich Fulcher), as well as their fellow employees Nuritza (Wanda Sykes) and This Guy (Jemaine Clement).

Apathetic Pet
 Tig 'n Seek / int_1f36c9f5
comment
Apathetic Pet: Tiggy's cat Gweeseek is supposed to be a genius, yet spends most of her time doing typical cat stuff — batting things off ledges, lying on sunbeams, that sort of thing. She mostly ignores Tiggy's commands and often does things that impede their missions. Once an Episode, however, Gweeseek will build a device out of random junk to help Tiggy. Whether she's Obfuscating Stupidity or genuinely apathetic towards Tiggy unless he's in real danger is left unclear.

Butt-Monkey: Prangle Penguin just can't catch a break. Tiggy too, occasionally. Let's not forget Chester, who is basically this show's equivalent to Gil Gunderson.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Tig 'n Seek / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The original Tiggle Winks pilot is much more zany and surreal in tone, akin to Chilian's previous work on Uncle Grandpa, as opposed to the relaxed Work Com vibe of the final series. Aside from Nuritiza and This Guy, who only appeared as cameos, Tiggy was also a Manchild as opposed to being a young kid, whilst Gweeseek was anthromorphic and more of a genius cat than the Apathetic Pet she eventually became, and Boss was smarter than he was in the series. The Department of Lost and Found is totally different, and has several employees compared to the Minimalist Cast of the show.

Centipede's Dilemma
 Tig 'n Seek / int_5535bb82
comment
Centipede's Dilemma: In "Five Rules for Finding", Tiggy freaks out because he realizes he doesn't have a method for finding things. After following the five rules in the painting of Chief and failing to find Boss' tie, he gives up on ever finding anything ever again... while finding This Guy's lost tube of paint without even thinking about it. That's when he realizes that his usual way of finding works just fine, and manages to find the missing tie.

Little Guy, Big Buddy: In "Baby and the Dog", Tiggy has to get a ball from a baby, but every time he takes it, the baby cries, attracting a large dog to chase Tiggy. Interestingly, the dog doesn't even belong to the baby; at the end, the father says "Whose dog is this?"

comment
My Instincts Are Showing: When not inventing (which is ninety percent of the time), Gweeseek just does what a cat naturally does. Sometimes this is to the detriment of her and Tiggy's work, like when she takes a hot dog without paying, or eats the millipede they were hired to find.

Creepy Basement: In "Lost in the Lost and Found", Tiggy has to go into the cellar to find a tuba. The lightbulb broke, so it's pitch dark, and what's worse, Tiggy believes there's a "cellar feller" there who turns his victims into "goopy goo." He tries to convince himself that there's nothing to be afraid of... until he encounters the cellar feller! Who turns out to be This Guy with his head stuck in a tuba, and the goopy goo was kiwi jelly.

Poke the Poodle: Tig's attempts at being bad in "Tiggy Two Shoes". He answers a phone and takes a message, but in an angry voice; he writes "Tig was here" on the wall, but in text so tiny you have to use a magnifying glass; and shreds a box of papers that This Guy was going to shred anyway.

Nice, Mean, and In-Between
 Tig 'n Seek / int_c1cef253
comment
Nice Mean And In Between: Tiggy's colleagues: Boss is a Kindhearted Simpleton who apparently can't bring himself to fire Tiggy (despite doing so before), Nuritza is the mean-spirited one who often scams people, and This Guy is more serious than Boss but a generally friendly guy. Sometimes, This Guy and Boss can interchange, as Boss has his episodes of being stubborn, and This Guy stays friendly for the most part.
