Parents need to know

Parents need to know that this show is very loud, bright, and frenetic. It won't calm kids down, and if they have a tendency to copy what they see on TV, a talk about breaking things, like walls, might be in order.

Families can talk about why Gordon is so upset that his tail is so short, and why he decides in the end to keep it that way. Also, why does getting turned green make Mr. Blik less of an authority figure in the house? But mostly this is just a silly show that will make kids laugh if they're quite young.

What's the story?

Reviewed by Sarah Wenk

In CATSCRATCH, a rich old lady leaves her entire estate to her three cats, Mr. Blik (he's bossy), Gordon (he's seems tough but is really a softy and has a crush on the human girl next door), and Waffle (he's goofy and confused). With the assistance of her butler, who has stayed on, they create various kinds of mayhem. The stories are silly in the extreme, but still manage to be amusing -- Mr. Blik turns green (he falls into a bathtub that Gordon is using to make pickled cabbage) and when no one takes him seriously anymore, he heads out for a life with the hobos on the rails. Of course everything turns out well in the end, and sometimes the cats even behave nobly -- Gordon, for instance, gives his wish (granted by a giant squid he's defeated in battle) to Mr. Blik, who needs it more than he does.

Is it any good?

Catscratch is a generic cartoon show that involves oddly drawn characters who don't really look like anything, very loud voices, very bright colors, and many instances of people and creatures and things being bashed, broken, and bonked. The show is a by-the-book program, but that doesn't mean it's not sometimes funny or even touching. Many kids will get a kick out of it, although you may not be as tolerant. There's nothing terribly wrong with it, but nothing terribly right, either.

This tv show is hilarious!

Three cats have inherited their master's fortune, and with the help of a butler they have adventures and get into trouble before everything works out in the end.

an ON rating? HELL NO!!!!

This show stinks! I can't believe Nickelodeon had the right to take off Rocko's Modern Life and replace it with this crap. This show is soon gonna get flushed down the toilet. And I hope they bring back RML, R & S, and Doug.

I dont know what those kids are talking about.

First of all, this show never says the f word, that kid has to clean out his ears. You arent even allowed to say the f word on TV! Second of all, the show has no language, no sexual content, no anything! Its a pointless show, ill give it that, but it is also harmless.
