Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron was a short-lived cartoon show produced by Hanna-Barbera that first aired in September 1993. It revolved around the feline characters of Megakat City, and its two main characters were Jake Clawson and Chance Furlong, two pilots who were thrown out of the enforcers due to a mishap and forced to work as junkyard auto mechanics to repay the damages they caused. They decided they had to do more to make amends, and therefore, Jake Clawson designed the Turbokat and became the vigilantes known was the SWAT Kats. Jake, a.k.a Razor, was the weapons system officer and Chance, a.k.a T-bone, was the pilot. Together they protected Megakat City from many foes, such as Dark Kat, Dr. Viper, The Pastmaster, Mac and Molly, a.k.a. The Metallikats, and Hard Drive.less «

  I checked on Boomerang for Friday, and it's not on it's usual Time slot. It's Scooby-doo instead! I like Scooby Doo as much as the next guy, but the only new stuff from that franchise is a straight to DVD movie once a year (which is basically the only thing left of What's New? Scooby Doo) along with Tom and Jerry! This isn't fair! I hope Ted Turner isn't behind this as well Ted Turner: We forced Boomerang to take SWAT Kats off the air. I don't like violent kids shows. They either get shows made of absolute bullcrap like Squirrel Boy or they're better off living like hillbillies. My next plan is to get Naruto banned from The United States. *Twitches* WILL SOMEONE ASK DICK CHENEY TO INVITE TED TURNER TO GO HUNTING WITH HIM?! I'D ENJOY ANOTHER "SHOOTING ACCIDENT"! less «

  If this show was actually remade, I'd be happy like Trisha from Family Guy when she met David Bowie (I take you home, I make you fish ball soup! FISH BALL!, Tom: Thank you Trisha for sending your people back a thousand years). But if it's remade by 4kids... *anime sad in corner scene: It would be a fate worse than no remake! less «

  9.5 Superb

  Ahh! The legendary SWAT kats? This brings back some happy memories :) hide « show »

  Personaly, I have never heard of a person who wouldn't like SWAT kats.Anyway here's my average review:
  
  Title: good.
  
  Theme song: perfect. Everyone agrees that those quitar chords are awsome!
  
  Story: two ex-enforcers who become vigilantes. What more would you like ;) ?
  
  Characters: the main ones- T-Bone and Razor. There are a bunch of other colourful ones for every occaision.
  
  Humour: :)
  
  Unfortunally, this show was cancelled before it's time, and it's one of the biggest mysteries to us fans why did that happened. But, SWAT kats are as popular as always and there are rumours of plans to bring back this marvelous show. Yay SWAT kats, long live the SK :)

  From the awesome guitar rifts of the 90's comes a totally original cartoon from the good people at Hanna-Barbera hide « show »

  Alright, when I was younger I didn't see this show as much as I think I would've liked, if that makes any sense. I do however remember snippets of the show which made me want to watch it again. I just switched to AT&T and now own a DVR. I also learned that I now have Boomerang, one of the greatest channels out there for any cartoon fanatic. It shows all the retro Pink Panther, Wacky Races, Smurfs, etc. cartoons while also showing newer cartoons from the last 10 or so years such as the SWAT Kats. Getting back to the show, it was timeless. All the villains had great back stories and, to me, really simple to remember names such as Dark Kat, Dr. Viper and The Metallikats. It's like you'll know what they are and do before you even get a chance to see them. The weapons in this show rival Batman's utility belt as the SWAT Kats always have some new gizmo, rocket or bomb to use on the bad guys. The only reason that I don't give this a perfect 10 is that the episodes themselves are a bit, well, linear. While there's nothing wrong with this after recording some 15+ episodes and watching them on and off you start to see a pattern. While that might be the case, this show is undoubtedly one of most kick butt cartoons I've ever seen and I really hope they make a comeback on this show or even a spin off series if that's even possible.

  Best show in my childhood and possibly life! hide « show »

  Swat Kat's was AMAZING! Nothing better at the time and I am hard pressed to find anything better now. The animations for this show were better than anything at the time. This is the only western cartoon that I really love, japan comes out with some good stuff but nothing can even come close. I never played the video game but looking at some videos it's a shame it was awful. I have so many memories of watching this in primary school. Watching it on boomerang and other places now gives me goose bumps. A remake or revival would be a dream come true!

  This show is far and away the best show HB /EVER/ made. It's better than ANYTHING that came before or after. The only thing that came CLOSE for CN was Teen Titans, and they cancelled that as well! hide « show »

  I can't believe that they were stupid enough to cancel this, really. They need to bring it back. I may just write a new summary myself soon to capture the real nature of the show. Too many people have never heard of it or of how cool it is. We need to be getting the word out and getting this show back to the air. They could have an assured high performer if they could get it back on and put out a video game with flight sim, Motorcycle, and ground combat. The show is perfect for such a format, it's always 'in your face' and bursting at the seams with the action. A return of it needs to /stay/ that way. They didn't market the toys well enough. This show was a top rated syndicated show when it aired, and they STILL axed it like nincompoops.

  One of the best action shows in my childhood. hide « show »

  The popular Hanna-Barbera action show is about two vigilantie kats named Jake Clawson/Razor and Chance Furlong/T-Bone who protect the fictional Megakat City from evil. I watched this as a kid but I barley remembered it until a miracle put it on Boomerang and now I know every episode by heart. The characters were good and the plot was even greater and a good example of modern action. After seeing it again Swat Kats became my favorite action cartoon and reminded me of good moments in my childhood. So for those who love action, vigilantie kats, or both this is definstly the show for you.
