- "Thom Cat" cartoon pilot for the Random! Cartoons Television Series on Nickelodeon. I created, wrote, co-produced, did the character designs as well as the original pitch storyboards, oversaw the selection of the voice actors (and assisted during the voice direction). Produced for Nickelodeon working with the great Frederator Studios.

It's a shame this never got off the ground. It seems like an awesome show. Good premise, diverse characters, room for hi-jinx, it could have been big. Much better than a lot of the shows on now. Kids need stories, not just abstract craziness.
Thank you so much for the nice comment, sorry I have missed these for so long to reply

This has a slow-paced Hanna-Barbera feel
to it
I think that this could make a great show
Arstellum Thanks for the nice comment!!
This short is inspired by Hanna Barbera Cartoon Character Top Cat
I remember in 2013, at the Charles M. Scultz museum, I met Mike Gray, and he drew me this gentlemanly cat. I still have it on my wall to this day.
Wow awesome!!! I'm so happy you still have the drawing :) thank you!

I'm in love with that cat! Visual, voice acting and character!
Thank you!
I love how he says “4:42” so calmly. You can hear the hint of insanity he had
This cat is relatable to my younger self, wanting to meet the neighbors and such.
If this short got green lit, its show could’ve been the next Top Cat.
incredibly charming. love it
Thank you!
One day I will make my own cartoon channel, where many people can get their cartoons exposure. Stuff like this and random cartoons keep motivating me to find a way, thank you so much
That sounds like a wonderful idea :)
How's progress going on your cartoon channel? I have a show I'd like to pitch.
They didn’t even try to cover up the fact that the antagonist is a literal sociopath
lol
I would've loved to see more of Thom Cat.
Thanks :) !
I honestly feel like Rusty would've become a reoccurring character and at some point, someone who also takes part in Thom and Melissa's adventures. Its sad knowing this show never got green-lit... I really like it!
Hello there, want to write a comment here (no clue if you will see this) but i am absolutely in LOVE with this animation/piolet i so wished it got picked up all those years ago!!! i see the potential here it gives off doctor who if he was a cat vibes for some reason..there is SO much potential here its driving me nuts!!!! if you have any way to give the fans (me) more Thom cat we (me) would be so happy!! thanks for making something thats left a core memory inside of me, honestly this short in particular is what made me love animation as a kid..i know its silly to say but honestly thank you!! hope all is well for you
One of the most memorable episodes of this show
I'm shocked I've never heard of this before, I would've loved this show to death as a kid. Love the voice acting and slow pacing!
I would have loved to have seen this as a kid, especially the cat he's just so adorable.
I remember watching this as a kid..Such nostalgia
This would be a wonderful CPBS show! It feels like something I’d see in the morning when I was 8 getting ready for school.
Finally! I've been looking for this short all over TH-cam! I loved this pilot ever since I saw it on Nick. I'm kinna upset that Nick never picked this up. With the cartoons nowadays, Thom absolutely stands out. A well-mannered, well-dressed, eloquent, intellectual who doesn't lose his cool and doesn't resort to violence? Rather rare! Pretty good role model too. I really wished they picked it up. Have you ever thought of pitching this to CN or Disney?
I did pitch it to DIsney and CN back then but they passed, maybe I will revive him :)
@@pencilforhireSince he's British do you think CBBC or CITV would take him then again you would have change the backgrounds, the settings and the characters
I'm so glad these videos are getting more recognition
Thank you :) !
Random Cartoons was never as great of a show as Oh Yeah! Cartoons, but it definitely had some great shorts here and there that showed the show could produce some good content. Thom Cat and Adventure Time were definitely examples of how good the show could be at times, shame that Nickelodeon never gave this show the support it deserved.
Thanks SO much!!! to be mentioned with Adventure Time is very cool :)
Thanks Sylph70, much appreciated :)
Thank you so much :) !!
This was incredibly pleasant to watch. Love Thom, the British accent and design are awesome. I also love that he resorted to both violence and blackmail to teach Rusty a lesson. 😂Love that he wants to make some prosthetics for Stumpy and Patches.
This deserves to be a show! It was awesome
Thank you!
2:15 I love the way Thom walks here
It's sad that they chose Fanboy and Chum Chum of all cartoons. I would've loved to see this be on nick
It sucks this wasn't picked up
Thank you!!
Much better than other shows these days
Thanks so much that's great to hear :)
Inspirade me a bit doing my cartoons :D
Toxic-Vermin WOW that's so awesome, I'm so glad!! Thank you!
I thank you haha :D
Love this ! I would have loved to see a whole show with this charming little cat ! Maybe the executives though that it was too wordy ? who knows
I could learn a lot from these old gems
I saw this back when it aired on Nicktoons Network (almost ten years ago) and I liked how calm it was, despite being in 3rd grade.
Thanks!
Same experience here, tho I was in seventh grade. My dad even bought me a pair of loafers because of this cartoon, and my English teacher complimented them.
This was really fun. It's a shame it didn't get a full a show.
Thanks, I wish it did too :) !
The art style reminds me of Phineas and Ferb to a degree. I honestly thought Perry the Platypus was going to walk in unexpectedly.
GRAH-so much potential to this, give the one cat a robo-tail, the other a robo-eye, they'd make GREAT side characters.
Thanks so much !!
Your welcome!
This and Flavio should have been a full cartoon.
Thanks so much! My friend Mike Milo did Flavio and that would have been so cool if these we series back then :)
Mike Gray You're very welcome!😃
This cat is kinda cool!
I've written season one of my show this year by the way; maybe Rob Renzetti would love my written cartoon.
Why do Nick and CN hate new things?
Thank you for liking Thom Cat :)
It’s really more like they think that they’re better at their jobs.
THIS. NEEDS. to be a show damn it.
Thank you!
I love the theme
This is totally wholesome. Why did no network pick this up I’ll never know why
This one deserves a revival
Hello! I am in your animation class and I think this is phenomenal!
Thom has an almost Ricky Gervas voice, makes sense since Thom's actor is a famous impersonator.
Jim Meskimen is a genius :) I had originally though of a Davey Jones voice from the Monkees, Ricky Gervas was so much better
I want this show to go on this looks amazing
Amazing job
i am inlove with this like rly aaaa
Thanks :) !
I'm starting to wonder if the inspiration behind this character was from a Primus song named "Tommy the Cat" even down to his introduction "and that cat is I, Thom G. Cat, Hello"
This was a pretty god cartoon as well as funny. Great job
Thank you for the nice compliment :)
I really liked when he coughed up the loafers
I really liked it :)
I'm glad!!! Sorry for replying soooooo late :)
@2:09 stumpy and PATCH!!?! .......
I never thought I'd say this but
I wanna fight a kid...........
@4:54 normally I'm against "tormenting" a child, EXECPT when you harm animals, then I have NO Kindness left for you........
make sure he bleeds like the Cat's did!!!
@5:39 :D so would i forget making him bleed SUFFERING is MUCH better.......hhhhoooooo i can taste his embarrassment from here.
@5:48 XDDDDD this cat is mad poggers
The voice acting is very good I wish this was a real show.
Thanks!
This is so good
Thanks!
wish I had more
Thank you!
Thom cat:oh yeah! cartoons
So instead of this we got Squirrel Boy?
😑
...Yay.

This would have been a Great Nick toon if it was Pick Up Greenlight by Nickelodeon
Will this be an actual show? :)
If yes, when will it be aired?
I wish, it was never picked up, but thank you!
Will you ever make new episodes?
I would love too, maybe some day :) more likely I will do a comic book or graphic novel firs, thank you for writing!
@@pencilforhire i'm so happy you replied :)
This reminds me of Top Cat
Doc ock looks really different here
Interesting.
I'm curious what Thom's middle name is. I'm guessing it's Thom Gato Cat.. Because, Gato is Cat in Spanish, but ya never know.
i like it
Thank you!!
My teacher!!
Ricky gervais voiced thom cat
It was actually the terrific Jim Meskimen who did the voice in that Ricky Gervais/Davey Jones from the Monkees style
