What 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.
What's the story?
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.
What families can talk about
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.

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.

The rating is wrong.
You got the wrong rating. It's not rated TV-PG. Some episodes might be rated TV-Y7, but I don't think so. The episodes I've seen are rated TV-Y. So this show is rated TV-Y. I don't know where you got the idea that this show was rated TV-PG. Please common sense media, rate it TV-Y!!!

*sniff* I miss this show ...
This was my favorite show back a few years ago.
I loved all the characters, they were so fun.
I liked Mr. Blik the most because of his need to always supervise and lead. Although he was bossy, he was an awesome character.
Waffle added the craziness to the show. He was kind of a carefree, easy going, braindead character. His random outbursts and his obsession with his pet newts might have caused alot of people to laugh at him and become a fan of him.
Gordon was in the middle. He had a crush on a human, which I thought was strange, but it was pretty good. He has a scottish accent, and in alot of episodes you will hear him mentioning something about his homeland, Scotland.
I really don't know why they canceled this great show, I wish some of the episodes would be on iTunes or somewhere where fans can watch them again.
