Mystery Childhood Cartoon Memory

I have this vivid memory of a cartoon about a dog who breaks out of jail and winds up breaking into a TV that is delivered to the police commissioner's house. So, the poor dog acts out all these TV shows and winds up getting sent back to jail. Anyone else remember this? I remember he broke out by digging a tunnel with a spoon and he had an Irish accent for some reason. I also remember howling with laughter as the poor dog acted out all these different TV shows.

Another cartoon I remember is one that follows a clown flea in a circus. He has a crush on a trapeze flea, Fifi. Eventually she falls in love with him. One day, he comes home and finds her knitting with these big needles and exclaims "Fifi nooo!" Y'see in cartoon-world, if a woman is knitting she is pregnant.

Going with the flea theme, there was one cartoon following a dog driven insane by the fleas infesting his body. It wasn't the itching the drove him nuts, it was the loud parties and jazz music.
