ok so I remember this show from when I was a kid and it had like animals in space and there was a war or something?? it’s all fuzzy but the main guy was a that looked like a fox and they fought against lizards or crocs? idk if it …

Not sure, but there was an old show called 'The Mighty Ducks' where they were like, hockey players and crime fighters? Doesn't exactly fit with the detective theme or the red jacket, but hey, memory’s tricky. Check it out?
