This is absolutely on one of the few Nicktoons shows i remember. Probably because of the combination of the character designs, the character voices, and that absolute bop earworm of a theme song.
As a kid I always found weird how all of these different cats were meant to be brothers of a same litter (or that Waffles is a cat at all), but some years ago I learned that female cats can indeed get pregnant _with multiple fathers_ *The more you know* 🌈✨
Cat genetics are also just really weird. I once had a cat that only had one father of her kittens and somehow none of them looked like each other and only one looked like each of the parents. The other five were the most odd assortment of colors and patterns.
As a kid, I remember being really confused and uncomfortable with why a cat would be in love with a human child. (Especially since he sounds like an adult). I remember thinking, "okay, that's kinda weird."
I never thought it was weird. They were never really treated like humans that look like cats like say, Bojack Horseman. They were clearly cats. And I don’t think he wanted to do weird things to her. Lol
Man, I remember back then a lotta Nicktoons were hardly promoted or were big hits like back in the 90's, and early 00's they were literally killed off the channel.
It's always interesting to see kids shows originate from morbid comic books or illustrations (Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy comes to mind.) This series came out around the time I stopped watching Nick shows, so watching this video was interesting. I had no idea the show got as zany as it did and appreciate you showing all of us! Now...Invader Zim video when?
lol yeah, it's like how some nursery rhymes have these dark creepy meanings behind them but we sang them happily as children, weird lol Thanks for watching! and yes, will have some Zim coming soon! haha
Shit. And I never got any. I’m surprised toys of this show even exist. I always feared of toys of cartoons I like being given to me even though they didn’t exist. But this exists. Lol.
@@paganavenger8920 This is why I can't take these people seriously whenever they revisit the cartoons they grew up with and they start hating it, they're all traitors.
Great video! Catscratch actually was the first Nicktoon I was obsessed with as a kid. I remember recording ALL the new episodes on VHS, watching new episodes, getting the McDonalds toys, and the DVDs. I feel like without Catscratch, I wouldn't have gotten into animation and eventually went to college to study Animation.
I remember one thing about Catscratch (okay, make that five bar the theme song): the butler, the character design, the Giant Charlotte root beer gag (actually, their obsession with root beer in general too), the sleepover episode, and the zombie episode.
So no one is going to talk about that one episode where Gordon is gifted a broccoli from Kimberly even though he's immune to broccoli and turns into a monster when he holds it?
Yeah that shit disturbed me. And I remember the episode where Gordon goes To the deep pits of hell to put kimberlys project in the core and turned the entire world into the candy kingdom from adventure time.,
I can only imagine that they where trying to justify it as oh cats can be very loving animals towards humans. But from how it’s described they straight up like romance between humans yikes
I get a warm feeling like no other when I think back on this show. Such a great time to grow up under Nickelodeon, just a shame it only got 1 season. Would love to one day have some sort of online watch party with all of us few that still remember this. Here's hoping.
Even though I watched a lot of Catscratch when it was on, I only remember the 2005 run, but none of the episodes from 2006, or the series finale from 2007. If the show ever got a second season, I could totally see Katilda being a mainstay character, maybe a special where Kimberly gets older and grows out of unicorns, etc. They made a vow, their mother will be found, Catscratch!
I remember this series’ premiere. I was coming home from a vacation and after the plane ride home, it was on. I liked it from the theme song alone. It’s a creative concept and deserved more love! (Even if the creator himself isn’t exactly the nicest person)
@@Usermaynot He’s racist, homophobic and transphobic. Also has a tendency of lashing out at criticism regarding him or his projects. Just look up his name with the word “controversy” and you’re sure to get a few hits on him.
@@Usermaynot I think most of it is simply hate comes from not having the correct political beliefs. When that happens, you get called racist sexist and a transphobe as already demonstrated in these replies
speaking of iconic, one season shows, ive been rewatching disney's dave the barbarian and lemme tell you theres a lot more jokes and meta humor in that show than i remembered. would love to see you give it a looksee. also fangs VA is dot from animaniacs!
Catscratch was one of the very few things my dad and I bonded over, we both thought it was great at the time and still quote some of the more memorable lines to each other. It's got such a weird, warm place in my heart.
If you think about it, Nickelodeon during the mid 2000’s had a ton of shows airing, both sitcoms and animated. Sadly most of them were forgotten, due to being overshadowed by the popular ones during the time. There’s Unfabulous, The X’s, Mr Meaty and Catscratch
The joke about Kimberly’s 3 friends Caitlin, Kaitlin, and CHARLOTTE is for some reason engrained in my subconscious and will come out at random times to completely consume my productivity. Thanks for being that impetus this time, I’ll address my unemployment checks your way.
Once you mentioned Nick magazine I had a flood of flashbacks to summers reading them and doing all the activities on them. Maybe a video about them would be nice
I loved catscratch. The flash games were lit, the theme song a banger

I actually had the honor of having Doug Tennapel for a couple of college classes for one semester. He was a professor for a short time and was awesome to meet in person he had so many great stories and it was great working alongside with him each time in class
As a kid, I thought the black cat was a little bad luck bearing black cat demon pretending to be a cat, thinking his long ears were actually horns, and his grandiose, prideful, power hungry, self centered leadership behavior reminded me of how demonic figures were portrayed in media, and cursed the human owner with death to get the money. I thought he caused bad luck, seeing him as an unlucky black cat like little demon, and that was how he caused some of the bad crazy stuff that happened in the show and it oftentimes backfired and caused HIM the most bad luck most of the time. I wasn’t super Christian and it mainly was because of his looks and behavior reminding me of stereotypical depictions of demons, but toned down and made more kid friendly. Or maybe I thought they were all demons disguised as cats, the black cat being the leader? Or maybe I thought the tall one with droopy dangling ears was an alien or something? And the one with a stubby tail was some kind of mishmash monster? I barely remember this show, it was so far back in my childhood. Whatever the case, It made the show much more interesting for me, but I’m surprised to find out they were actually just normal cats, and I completely assumed all that stuff.
I remember this show being very good and that's a lot to be said since Avatar, Danny Phantom and My Life As A Teenage Robot were all in play at this time too.
I loved this show it should of lasted so much longer. I also loved it's online games :3 Also fun fact in The DS version of Nicktoons Attack of the toy bots Mr Blink is playable so at least it got to be part of one of those crossover games.
When I was a kid, I thought "Yeah, ~8 year old cat likes 8 year old kid. Makes sense." Now that burly Scottish voice interested in that little girl disturbs me!
So glad to have found your Channel! I honestly teared up thinking about my life in this period & how much things have changed in our world. It’s crazy! I understand the adults if my childhood who would go on & on about their youth & how everything was different because things will always change🥲
Good to see that catscratch still lingers in the mind of some people. I enjoyed the show as a kid. Nick really needs to put alot of their hidden gems on dvd instead of putting things like spongebob and other nick classics on there repeatedly.
i miss this show, it had potential to be one of the greats, i have a very fond memory of eating a bowl of cocoa pebbles in the morning watching catscratch
I feel like this show came out during a critical part of my childhood, and imprinted itself into my brain more than a show with that small of a run time should have. Almost feels like it was a fever dream.
Catscratch remains one of my favorite Nick cartoons ever. Fond memories of watching episodes with my dad after school, then going on the Nick website and playing the turnbased Catscratch strategy game
Katilda was Ronnie Anne before It was cool despite being underrated and have a soft spot for her back then and the writers clearly couldn't decided to make her a love Interest for Blake or just neighbor girl who just there yo tease him from time to time but was harmless.
I only got a perspective on the german dub of the show but I have really fond memories of it, mostly because, as you said, all the jokes just land. It never failed to get at least a chuckle out of me. I would also like to note something, I can't believe how much obscure shows you watched and liked that I also watched and liked. I just finished watching like 8 videos of yours because I either forgot about those shows or wanted to get some nostalgia and an opinion on it. Keep 'em coming!
I agree. I think if the show was successful, it would last for two additional seasons with 20 episodes each. One of the season 2 episodes would be a Christmas special.
I think if nickelodeon gave it a chance, it would've became a classic like the other nicktoons. The x's was out around the same time as this show & I enjoyed that show. It had potential being an action show & all. Guess we'll just never know.
Try watching the anime Sgt. Frog. This alien frog wants to take over the earth but fails in every episode. He stuck with this family on earth. There is a mom, an older sister, and a little brother. The mom lets him stick around because she is a manga editor and uses his life as inspiration for her work. He is very lazy. he watches tv and builds Gundam models when he should be plotting to take over the world. Other members of his platoon are stuck on earth too. They meet up in the secret base in the basement. One of the characters Geroro the Angry serious one is in love with Natsumi the sweet responsible older sister who can have a short temper.
@@icecreamhero2375 i keep subconsciously comparing gordon's crush to giroro's on the basis of very questionable one-sided romance between a seemingly adultlike yet non-human character and a young girl. didn't know anybody else did that
Man I used to love this show and despite not even thinking about it in years just seeing the thumbnail made the theme song instantly pop back into my head
OMG I loved the show when I was on. I actually remember getting a little stuffed Mr. blicks in kindergarten from the McDonald’s meals that I never ate as a kid LOL
This could’ve been the next SpongeBob, since Nick is always looking for it. Too bad they keep getting rid of all them before they can become SpongeBob’s successor. Those executives are so indecisive.
Agreed, because what pissed me off about TeenNick's NickRewind?? was that they replaced Invader Zim with Danny Phantom on their schedule, I remember growing up with that show along with Wayside and this show as well.
What pisses me off is the fact that none of my friends remember this show. I LOVED this show and it gave me an unhealthy obsession with root beer for a few years! 😂
Good show, but those cat designs were odd, except for Gordon. They just looked like a bunch of crudely drawn Pikachu recolours you’d see on DeviantArt. This is especially evident in the episode ‘Core-Uption’, where Gordon was turned cute and magical and his tail was zig zag shaped like Pikachu. Still, I love Wayne Knight, Rob Paulsen and Kevin McDonald’s performances. But I agree that Gordon’s obsession with Kimberly is rather questionable.
I remembered watching a few episodes of this show as a kid, but I never got to watch the rest of the show until 2019. It’s a shame about the show being forgotten because Catscratch was the first Nicktoon to came out after Avatar TLA (which was a huge success compared to the subsequent Nicktoons), and then we got a few one season wonders, as well as several CGI animated Nicktoons (in which there’s very little new 2D animated shows around 2008-2012).
Oh my god! With each upload youre bringing me back to my childhood and waking up early for school and eating breakfast watching Nickelodeon! And now i remember Chalk Zone, god i love that show too
This does deserve better, it was funny and love the intro. Loved watching it. Also Catscratch was loosely adapated from Gear (image comics) which is very different and kinda weird.
I never forgot about one joke from this show where one of the cats screamed into the toilet and closed it, and then the butler opened the toilet to take a shit and the scream came out and launched him into the roof, and then he said "forgot to flush"
The theme song lives rent free in my head and I love it. Waffle’s newts are the reason I got geckos as pets as an adult. My fiancé and I are getting a cat and I’m demanding his/her name be Waffle. Thank you for your video on a loved part of my childhood.
I really loved this show as a kid. I even wanted to have a black cat named Blik because Blik was my most favourite character. I really love black cats thanks to him lol Their Flash Game, This Means War, is pure nostalgia. Blik was my main and is still my main.
I remember Waffle (I think?) sounding a lot like Pleakly and there was a Willy Wonka type episode with root beer. Thinking about it now I also blame this show for making me wanting to try root beer
I think I remember watching Catscratch on Nicktoons Network. I always thought it was a funny show. It’s too bad it was apparently cancelled after like 20 episodes though. People just don’t know what’s good 🤷🏻♀️ Catscratch definitely deserved more episodes than what it got .-.

But, honestly kinda loved the theme not gonna lie man...
Yea the theme song is extremely catchy

It was actually kind of funny. When I was rewatching it one day, my mom was actually making waffles.
I always called them the cat versions of Ed Edd n Eddy
There the successful version of them.

Let's not forget they did introduce a female cat into the series
Clearly you haven't met my cat. He loves kids. ^-^
Better love story than Marinette and Adrien!
I never really questioned it. I just thought i was goofy.
I never thought it was weird. They were never really treated like humans that look like cats like say, Bojack Horseman. They were clearly cats. And I don’t think he wanted to do weird things to her. Lol

Sad to say, most Nicktoons since the mid 2000's have a life span of 2 seasons.
Man, I remember back then a lotta Nicktoons were hardly promoted or were big hits like back in the 90's, and early 00's they were literally killed off the channel.
Teenage Robot got 3 and Danny Phantom got 3. Blame Spongebob one of the best cartoons ever.
@@icecreamhero2375 Pinky Makinly also got 3 seasons.

Waffle = Ed
Mr. Blik = Eddy

The mom lets him stick around because she is a manga editor and uses his life as inspiration for her work. He is very lazy. he watches tv and builds Gundam models when he should be plotting to take over the world. Other members of his platoon are stuck on earth too. They meet up in the secret base in the basement. One of the characters Geroro the Angry serious one is in love with Natsumi the sweet responsible older sister who can have a short temper.
@@icecreamhero2375 i keep subconsciously comparing gordon's crush to giroro's on the basis of very questionable one-sided romance between a seemingly adultlike yet non-human character and a young girl. didn't know anybody else did that
Omg as a teen, I LOVED Catscratch! I have such fond memories of it. I was so sad to find out that it wouldn't be getting another season.
Man I used to love this show and despite not even thinking about it in years just seeing the thumbnail made the theme song instantly pop back into my head
OMG I loved the show when I was on. I actually remember getting a little stuffed Mr. blicks in kindergarten from the McDonald’s meals that I never ate as a kid LOL
I wish I had a Gordon plushie
I remember this show. Liked it. Don't remember much other than the cats loving root beer. Great vid Jordan thanks brother. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! :D
This was Forgotten jem. I enjoyed watching this whole time.
Hovis taught me the word "imbecile" when I was a kid and it's been in my vocabulary ever since
I loved this show when it came out. Doug's art style and humor have always been a plus for me.
This could’ve been the next SpongeBob, since Nick is always looking for it. Too bad they keep getting rid of all them before they can become SpongeBob’s successor. Those executives are so indecisive.
Agreed, because what pissed me off about TeenNick's NickRewind?? was that they replaced Invader Zim with Danny Phantom on their schedule, I remember growing up with that show along with Wayside and this show as well.
Catscratch is so underrated!
What pisses me off is the fact that none of my friends remember this show. I LOVED this show and it gave me an unhealthy obsession with root beer for a few years! 😂
Good show, but those cat designs were odd, except for Gordon. They just looked like a bunch of crudely drawn Pikachu recolours you’d see on DeviantArt. This is especially evident in the episode ‘Core-Uption’, where Gordon was turned cute and magical and his tail was zig zag shaped like Pikachu. Still, I love Wayne Knight, Rob Paulsen and Kevin McDonald’s performances. But I agree that Gordon’s obsession with Kimberly is rather questionable.
I’ve been WAITING for someone to cover Catscratch. I own all the Nick Picks so I was wondering if anyone had known let alone remembered this show
I remembered watching a few episodes of this show as a kid, but I never got to watch the rest of the show until 2019.
It’s a shame about the show being forgotten because Catscratch was the first Nicktoon to came out after Avatar TLA (which was a huge success compared to the subsequent Nicktoons), and then we got a few one season wonders, as well as several CGI animated Nicktoons (in which there’s very little new 2D animated shows around 2008-2012).
I was obsessed with this show when it came out
It is pretty nice to get a full closure on all of these epic shows I reminisce with thanks to you ✨
I used to watch this when babysitting a friends kid. As an adult, I LOVED THIS SHOW. Someone needs to reboot it!!
"Voiced by Carl himself, Rob Paulson..."
I'd completely forgotten that he was Carl Wheezer. I just remember him as Yakko Warner
Oh my god! With each upload youre bringing me back to my childhood and waking up early for school and eating breakfast watching Nickelodeon! And now i remember Chalk Zone, god i love that show too
Will have a chalk zone video sometime soon as well! Haha thanks for watching! 😄
This does deserve better, it was funny and love the intro. Loved watching it.
Also Catscratch was loosely adapated from Gear (image comics) which is very different and kinda weird.
Yup I go into all of that in this video lol 😄
@@JordanFringe94 Lol my bad, commented it just as said that in the video. .
lol it's all good, thanks for watching! :D
@@JordanFringe94 Thanks for bringing it up :)
Nick was producing good but strange content in the mid 2000s.
No argument there lol
I never forgot about one joke from this show where one of the cats screamed into the toilet and closed it, and then the butler opened the toilet to take a shit and the scream came out and launched him into the roof, and then he said "forgot to flush"
As much as I loved this show, the only episode I can remember watching is the one when they were at sea taking on giant squids.
I really loved how fluid and on model this show would be animated
The theme song lives rent free in my head and I love it. Waffle’s newts are the reason I got geckos as pets as an adult. My fiancé and I are getting a cat and I’m demanding his/her name be Waffle. Thank you for your video on a loved part of my childhood.
I really loved this show as a kid. I even wanted to have a black cat named Blik because Blik was my most favourite character. I really love black cats thanks to him lol
Their Flash Game, This Means War, is pure nostalgia. Blik was my main and is still my main.
I remember Waffle (I think?) sounding a lot like Pleakly and there was a Willy Wonka type episode with root beer. Thinking about it now I also blame this show for making me wanting to try root beer
I think I remember watching Catscratch on Nicktoons Network. I always thought it was a funny show. It’s too bad it was apparently cancelled after like 20 episodes though. People just don’t know what’s good 🤷🏻♀️ Catscratch definitely deserved more episodes than what it got .-.
I love Mr. Blick's design so much, that's the main thing I remember from watching the show back when it came out
