What parents need to know
Parents need to know that kids will probably laugh their heads off at the silliness of a creature with a cat at one end of its body and a dog at the other. But parents may find they're not in on the joke. While there's no harm done here, the amount of cartoon mayhem and absurdity leaves little reason for parents to have kids tune in regularly.
What's the story?
CATDOG is (are?) brothers, with, as the name implies, a cat at one end and a dog on the other. Basic questions of biology aside, this is a situation rife with opportunities for chaos. While Cat is bossy and fastidious, Dog is dopey and clueless, so they're bound to clash. Whether they're trying to beat their rival up a mountain or are lost at sea, there's plenty of conflict, and lots of very cartoony, slapstick violence.
Is it any good?
The series makes some attempts at injecting a moral here or there, but they fall flat. The focus is on looniness, silliness, and out-of-control antics, with very little in the way of redeeming qualities. This can be just the ticket for some kids, although the bizarreness of the concept is enough to leave most parents shaking their heads.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the very opposite personalities of the character(s). Why are kids interested in this strange creature's silly behavior?

ew.
If there was an episode where a guy with a chainsaw chopped the CatDog in half, that would be the best episode ever because a half dog half cat animal is pathetic! This show creeps me out!

Defintely not the best of the cartoon shows...
All that I remember about this show was that positive things didn't always come out of their mouths and that the role models were pretty bad.

I use to like catdog. Great show.
But it's really weird. The cat and the dog stuck together is a little wrong. But it's supose to be funny.
