Bongo & McGillicuddy

Bongo and McGillicuddy is a show in Talking Tom and Friends. It appears to be an long-running award-winning comedy cartoon focusing on a pair of loose cannon cops named Bongo (a human), and McGillicuddy (an orangutan/ape), who played by their own rules when out on the streets catching criminals, including Bongo's no.1 enemy, Doctor Technology. Their loose cannonish behaviours rarely impress the old police chief, Buzzcut. According to Hank, this is his favourite show. The show also has a backwards counterpart in the Parallel Universe named "McGillicuddy & Bongo".

Known episodes
This is a list of Bongo and McGillicuddy episodes mentioned in Talking Tom and Friends. All names of episodes are linked to the Talking Tom and Friends episode in which they were mentioned.

 * Season 1, Episode 16 (Marks the first appearance of Professor Jerk Face [referred to as Doctor Jerk Face])

Seasons
This list is based on the fact that Hank said in Bye, Bye, Bongo to Doctor Technology that his teeth are more yellow than in seasons four, six, and fifteen. Since Doctor Technology is probably the main antagonist of the series, as he is called Bongo and McGillicuddy's "greatest foe" by Hank, we can assume that there are sixteen seasons, as he might not have appeared in the last season due to him being stuck in jail during that time. Even though Hank says he's watched every sitcom made from 1986 to 1994, it is officially unknown when Bongo and McGillicuddy had debuted. We know it's must be a long running show, since in Hank the Director, Hank said he wanted to do his own episode ever since he was a little boy, so the show must’ve started during Hank's childhood. To be more specific, Bye, Bye, Bongo was released in 2017, and the show has 16 seasons. If we take away 16 from 2017, it makes 2001. So unless any of those seasons lasted for a year or had a break in between, Bongo must’ve started in 2001.
 * Season 1 (2001-2002)
 * Season 2 (2002-2003)
 * Season 3 (2003-2004)
 * Season 4 (2004-2005)
 * Season 5 (2005-2006)
 * Season 6 (2006-2007)
 * Season 7 (2007-2008)
 * Season 8 (2008-2009)
 * Season 9 (2009-2010)
 * Season 10 (2010-2011)
 * Season 11 (2011-2012)
 * Season 12 (2012-2013)
 * Season 13 (2014-2015)
 * Season 14 (2015-2016)
 * Season 15 (2016-2017)
 * Season 16 (2017)

It is unknown about the fate of the show after Season 16, but no Bongo & McGillicuddy characters or the show had been mentioned or referenced by anyone after Bye Bye, Bongo, so the show either was cancelled for real because of Hank's disappearance, or that Bongo and McGillicuddy were still going to stay on the force but the show went into a hiatus.

Trivia

 * Both the main characters represent the main characters of Talking Tom and Friends, Tom and Ben.
 * McGillicuddy - Tom is like McGillicuddy because they both are silly and funny.
 * Bongo - Ben is like Bongo because they both work hard and are telling Tom/McGillicuddy what to do.
