CatDog

[Shaunbadia]

So, who remembers this? I ask because I was trying desperately to remember how the fuck they got merged together in the first place. I tried searching online but nowhere seemed to have an answer. I seem to recall them showing a scene of them when they were separate as a pup and kitten and a Wizard holding them up angrily as they screamed at each other before he smashed them into one and other and as he did it a big white flash covered the screen. If anyone can confirm this memory as fact then I'd be grateful.

Also....discuss the show or whatever...I remember enjoying this when I was little.

EDIT: Here's the theme song if you need a little help casting your minds back

Guess you guys are going on a Nicktoons-I-think-are-overrated binge.

this show was pretty bad and it signaled the end of nickelodeon for me

[leprechaun_dan]

This was always my least favourite of the 90s Nickelodeon shows, although it wasn't too bad. The theme song is probably the best thing about it for its catchiness

[Dobbie]

It rings a bell. I never watched it though...

[Dark Homer]

there was some stupid episode where a frog and blue buzzard were revealed to be catdog's adoptive parents after the wind magically carried thim there and i remember being mad because it TOTALLY CONTRADICTED earlier episodes like thim being a kitten-puppy at t/his/eir parents' house and a bus full of t/his/eir relatives

maybe that wizard thing came later

Never really cared for Catdog. Catdog came out when I was 14, so I was definitely in my more jaded teenage years, so that must have been a factor. Liked Hey Arnold and Angry Beavers much more around that time. Even at a younger age, I just never really bought into the character or whatever. And the supporting cast seemed really weird as well, if I recall.

It's one of the few Nickelodeon cartoons from my childhood (although this was towards the end) that if I watched nowadays it would be 100% nostalgia and nothing else gained. The show is strangely mean-spirited and the accompanying humor lacks heavily.

Plus the characters are just awful.

edit: also agreed on the theme song being the best part

[Matlock]

Yeah how did they merge? According to the wikipedia page they are brothers? How can that be if they are different species?



And whats with mouse with the human nose?

[Knightboat]

Yeah, I remember this. I can't remember if it was any good or not but I do remember wanting a CatDog for Christmas. It never happened. Damn scientists are too busy finding cures for cancer and not prioritising their time by splicing feline and canine genes together.

I remember Angry Beavers as well. Was that any good?

[Zombies Rise from the Sea]

I remember watching an episode of this, I even remember watching a segment of this on "The Rugrats Movie" VHS (I think it was about a hairball) and while I remember sort of liking it, I felt it was just something to watch on Nickelodeon while waiting for the other cartoons on Cartoon Network. The only reason why I would watch this is if I needed to remember something or relive parts of my past; thankfully that need has not popped up yet.

[Prune Tracy]

I remember liking this show. Of course, I watched it at a very young age.

[Dark Homer]

I remember Angry Beavers as well. Was that any good?

for the most part, yeah

[The Duke of Insomnia]

I still like it I have the movie its pretty good. I think im the only one who likes it still

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

They made a movie on CatDog?

[Shaunbadia]

They made a movie on CatDog?

Yeah, something to do with finding their parents if memory serves me well. It was a made-for-TV movie.

Oh, and Angry Beavers was pretty fuckin' funny. I loved the time travel episode where one of them literally got punched into the previous week multiple times.

So, where's the Rocket Power thread?

[Ryan]

not existing as it should be

[Jesse Pinkman]

what's with all the nostalgia guys

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

I actually enjoyed Catdog for what it was to me as a kid...a time filler. Some episodes were pretty good. I liked the one where Cat lost his extra lives and they had to go after them Ghostbuster style. Winslow was my favorite character I think, but the best thing about the show was the song as said. I remember hearing the second verse and being shocked such a thing existed.

The nicktoon that finally broke the camel's back for me so to speak was Rocket Power. My God did I hate that show...

Agreed, I never saw much of it, but even at a young age I remember it being overwhelmingly retarded.
