Show Summary

  • Ended
The life and times of a cat and a dog with a unique twist: they're connected, literally. They share one body with a Dog's head at one end and Cat's head on the other. Adding to their dilemma is Cat's annoyance with Dog, mainly caused by Dog's stupidity and Cat's up-tight personality. Theme Song Lyrics: (Extended Version) One fine day with a woof and a purr, a baby was born and it caused a little stir. No blue buzzard, no three eyed frog, Just a feline, canine, Little CatDog! CatDog, CatDog alone in the world was a little CatDog. A lunatic dog and a frustrated cat, opposite this and opposite that. Internal struggle for 2-in-1 brothers, scratchin' an' bitin' an' lovin' each other! CatDog, CatDog, Nothin' in the world like a little CatDog! CatDog, CatDog Nothin' in the world like a little CatDog! INSTRUMENTAL Over the river and through the muck, hot on the trail of the garbage truck. Friends to the end through good and bad weather, but life is complicated when you're ALWAYS TOGETHER!!!! CatDog, CatDog Nothin' in the world like a little CatDog! Out on the road Or back in town, all kinda critters puttin' CatDog down. Gotta rise above it, gotta try to get along, gotta walk together gotta sing this song. CatDog, CatDog, Alone in the world Was a little CatDog. CatDog, CatDog, Alone in the world was a little CatDog! CatDog (CatDog) CatDog (CatDog) Alone in the world Was a little CatDog!! Watch for CatDog on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons TV!moreless

    CatDog is one of those shows that may have worked, but it falls short on every level. The story is that a cat and a dog are literally joined together and have some wild adventures. Now on paper, it sounded pretty good, but somewhere in translation to broadcasting it, it got horribly messed up and was a waste of time. I remember as a kid hating it and when I was going to watch it again, I thought that my perspective changed on the show, and it didn't at all. I still hate this show and there is nothing that can change that. I have to point out that the art work looks terrible and very cheap. There are blotches of black ink left in some scenes and colors are either too washed out or too dark. There are even some drawings that look rushed and the drawer had no time to clean it up. The show is also a rip off of Ren and Stimpy with a cat and a dog as best friends, but Cat is smart and Dog is stupid so it's a reverse, but they act almost like Ren and Stimpy and sometimes use jokes from that show. Dog was somewhat funny but he wasn't really that funny, and Cat is an arrogant jerk to everyone and is obnoxious. CatDog also has a mouse named Winslow living with them. The best way to describe Winslow is that he's the bastard child of Jerry from and Tom and Jerry and Smurfette and they decided to abandon him, I don't blame them. Winslow is a very unlikable character and is very irritating, he's obnoxious to everyone, and he is not funny and has a very annoying laugh. Then there are the Greaser Dogs, who always want to beat up CatDog for no good reason. I suppose ypu can get away with Cat because of cats and dogs fighting, but sometimes Cat will help the Greasers and they end up beating him up anyway, why? What possible reason is there to beating up Cat every time they get to? He's snobbish yes, but sometimes Cat doesn't deserve being beat up or anything. It's like the creators had a thing against cats and wanted to see them be beaten up. To make matters worse, the Greasers and Winslow always get away with their bad deeds. What type of lesson is that? Bad guys are always going to win and doing bad things won't get you in trouble? Finally there's the rabbit. I can't remember his name but he was the antagonist most of the times and did seem to get what he deserved from time to time. The characters are not interesting though and the voice work is dreadful. The only real good thing about the show was that the TV movie it had was pretty satisfying and it tied up loose ends and it had the Greasers finally be beaten up. I really do not like this show and I am sorry if you are a fan and think I am being too harsh on it, but I really tried to like it and I can't. I am glad this show is off the air and if is on the air still, I hope it's in a time where I will never be able to see it. If you see this show in TV, just tune into another show and stay far away from this ugly mess of a show.moreless
  • A great cartoon from the 90s

    This is one of my favorite classic Nick cartoons. Some may think that this show is a rip off of Ren and Stimpy, but this isn't similar to that show AT ALL.
    Sure, I do wish that Cat and Dog has real names, and it is a bit weird sometimes, but I don't really care.
  • One of my favorite shows on Nickelodeon

    I have always loved this show when I was a little kid. This show was such a success.
  • Great cartoon to watch again

    I remember back in the day when I'd watch all those old Nick cartoons in the mornings, from Angry Beavers to Rocko's modern Life, I remember watching CatDog before school. Been years since I last saw it and then I eventually discovered FOUR had started airing CatDog. I was pleased to find out and started watching CatDog in the afternoons. I never really did like the show a whole lot back as a kid but now I'd say that's a pretty decent show. I don't know why lots of people hate it. What, because it's a rip-off on Ren and Stimpy? Okay, I will admit that it is a rip-off on Ren and Stimpy but I ain't mad that it is.

    So, CatDog is about two conjoined twins, on one end is Cat and the other end is Dog. Cat is smart and Dog is stupid. Now, that's where you would say this show is a rip-off on Ren and Stimpy. Cat is pretty much a cat version of Ren and Dog is a dog version of Stimpy so it's a reverse. But I'm not mad that it is a rip-off as I've been enjoying watching CatDog again.

    Now for animation and designs. I respect this show for being traditionally animated and it being a 90s cartoon. There's just something that brings me back to loving 90s cartoons and its animation. Maybe it's just how the camera captures it? The opening for example is greatly animated. I have no problem with the animation or designs. Well, I'm not really sure how to go into depth about animation and designs.

    Voice acting. Cat (Jim Cummings) has a great voice, same with Dog (Tom Kenny). Then there's Winslow who I guess his voice is pretty annoying. Not annoying annoying but that I don't care. But Carlos Alazraqui, love listening to your voice.

    Characters. Cat can be a bit of a jerk at times so yeah. Dog is pretty funny at times. The Greasers, I'd have to agree on why do they always beat up Cat. But I guess that's just cos they're dogs. Cat can be a bit of a flirter at times which I find really funny, especially in the episode, "Spaced Out" with the alien princess. That was hilarious. So not only is he a jerk at times but he is a bit of a flirter. Dog can be pretty funny at times, especially how he chases trucks and is the more optimistic of the two twins.

    Music. The music is that of country-styled music. Never been into country music but I think it fits the show. The theme song is hilarious, liked it ever since I was a kid.

    So, overall, the show is great. Has good episodes, great animation and just overall, a good cartoon from the 90s. I'm really glad I could start watching this show again.moreless

    The life and times of a cat and a dog with a unique twist: they're connected, literally. They share one body with a Dog's head at one end and Cat's head on the other. Adding to their dilemma is Cat's annoyance with Dog, mainly caused by Dog's stupidity and Cat's up-tight personality. I don't get why some people think this show sucked. It is not my favorite classic Nicktoons, but I enjoyed the show. It is not perfect because there are stuffs that I hate: the music (too countryish and not a fan of it), and the Greaser Dogs beating up CatDog which kinda gets on my nerves. I'll try to ignore that running gag if that gag doesn't happen more than once. Also, the Greaser Dogs are alright. CatDog are my favorites, because I feel bad whenever they get beat up by the Greasers. Dog is a bit better, because Cat doesn't get happy as much as Dog. Winslow is decent, but he kinda get annoying when he made fun of CatDog (not most of the time). He can be funny sometimes. As for the rest, I think Rancid Rabbit can gets on my nerves when he is acted like a bad guy. When he's not a bad guy, he is alright. The storylines were great, but most of them are usually good thru superb. My favorite episode is tough. I can't decide which is my favorite, but I liked The Island. Overall, Cat Dog is a great show. The haters need to give it chance...I had seen around 40 people who hate this show. 8.5/10moreless
