The New Woody Woodpecker Show (titled on-screen as The Woody Woodpecker Show) is an American animated comedy television series based on the animated short film series created by cartoonist and animator Walter Lantz. It was co-developed by animators Bob Jaques and Kelly Armstrong, was produced by Universal Cartoon Studios and aired from May 8, 1999 to July 27, 2002 on Fox's Fox Kids programming block.
It is an updated version of The Woody Woodpecker Show with characters from the original series and a few new ones appearing in their own segments. Each episode consists of two segments featuring Woody Woodpecker dividing one starring Chilly Willy, with Winnie Woodpecker and Knothead & Splinter also starring in some segments. 53 episodes (consisting of 155 segments plus one episode-length Christmas special, as well as one classic Chilly Willy cartoon) were produced.
Characters
= Woody Woodpecker
=Woody Woodpecker (voiced by Billy West) – a mischievous pileated woodpecker who lives in a tree-house overlooking his landlady's house in the suburbs of the Southland. His personality mirrors Tom Sawyer, a lazy and crazy moocher or even a freeloader, often looking for ways to get by without lifting a finger. This, however, doesn't endear him to his rivals, but Woody doesn't take their resistance lightly. His father is Scottish, and Woody is proud of his Scottish heritage, even though he uses English golf balls and oftentimes shows English traits when being Lord Crinkle, or rather British traits as both countries are from the same location.
Winnie Woodpecker (voiced by B. J. Ward) – a female pileated woodpecker and Woody's best friend/girlfriend who tends to get into her own misadventures. She has a more dignified persona than Woody's.
Knothead (voiced by E. G. Daily) and Splinter (voiced by Nika Futterman) – Woody and Winnie's nephew and niece, respectively, a pair of young pileated woodpeckers who can't help but give to their uncle (and anybody else) a hard time.
Buzz Buzzard (voiced by Mark Hamill) – a sleazy common buzzard who is the main antagonist of the series. He always concocts scams and cons on Woody and Winnie or Knothead and Splinter, though the woodpeckers frequently outsmart him.
Tweaky the Lackey (also voiced by Mark Hamill) – a domestic canary who is usually Buzz's henchman, often reluctant about it.
Wally Walrus (also voiced by Billy West) – a Swedish walrus who is Woody's neighbor and long-time foil but is not as antagonistic as either Buzz or other characters with Woody being always greedy and looking for mischief to ensue. Despite his rivalry with Woody, there are times where the duo team up and work together.
Ms. Meany (voiced by Andrea Martin) – Woody's ugly old landlady who rents the tree-house Woody lives in and Wally's neighbor. Being more violent than other characters, she is generally more antagonistic and mean-spirited than both Buzz and Wally. She is often portrayed as a hard worker who takes her job seriously and respects those in authority.
Dapper Denver Dooley (voiced by Jim Cummings) – an obnoxious man-child who always tries to put a damper on Woody's fun.
= Chilly Willy
=Chilly Willy – a mute penguin who lives in Antarctica. His misadventures result from his constant endeavors to fill his empty stomach and/or find relief from the cold. Despite his innocent demeanor, Chilly is quite the troublemaker.
Smedley (voiced by Billy West) – a hound dog that is frequently at odds with Chilly, though usually portrayed as more an authority figure than an antagonist. He is very easygoing and generally does not break his calm demeanor, but Chilly always pushes Smedley's patience to the breaking point.
Chilly Lilly – a female penguin who is Chilly Willy's girlfriend and appears in the episode "Chilly Lilly".
Maxie the Polar Bear (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – a polar bear with various roles. He makes a few appearances on Chilly's segments.
Sgt. Hogwash (voiced by Blake Clark) – a pig military officer who operates a government base in the Antarctic that's plagued by Chilly's mischievous antics.
Major Bull (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) – a bull who is Hogwash's superior.
= Other characters
=Dr. Doug Nutts (voiced by Billy West) – a physician who is impersonating Don Knotts. He appears in the episodes "Woody & the Termite" and "Painfaker".
Mother Nature (voiced by B. J. Ward) – a fairy who usually gets onto Woody for being too lazy to fulfill his role in nature. She appears in the episodes "Woody and the Termite", "Downsized Woody", "Whistle Stop Woody" and "Teacher's Pet". In "Teacher's Pet", her appearance is different from that in the three prior episodes. She retains her original pre-design in Crazy Castle 5.
Creepy Badger (voiced by Mark Hamill) – a creepy and psychotic badger. While he generally isn't a real villain, he has worked alongside Wally Walrus as an assistant and played the role as the main antagonist in one episode. He speaks in a gravelly, deep, and generally creepy voice. He also really loves tobogganing. His catchphrase is "Hi-ya, buddy!".
Nicky Knickknacker (voiced by Tim Curry) – a high society pileated woodpecker thief who appears in the episode "Eenie, Meany, Out You Go".
Billy (voiced by John Kassir and Billy West) and Louie (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – a pair of troublemaker dogs that have the tendency to annoy Knothead and Splinter. Billy is the leader and aggressive of the duet, while Louie is a little dumb.
Woody's Father (voiced by Corey Burton) – a pileated woodpecker who is the father of Woody. He is Scottish-accented, similarly to Scrooge McDuck.
Caveman Woodpecker (voiced by Charlie Adler) – a caveman who is a woodpecker.
Judge (also voiced by Billy West) – a judge who appears in the episodes "Painfaker", "Stuck on You" and "Couples Therapy".
Willy Walrus (also voiced by Rob Paulsen) – Wally's nephew who appears in the episodes "Just Say Uncle" and "Stuck on You".
Cupid (also voiced by Billy West) – a cupid who appears in the episode "Date with Destiny".
Woodrow Woodpecker (also voiced by Charlie Adler) – a nerdy woodpecker who appears in "Teacher's Pet".
