Les entrechats

Heathcliff, you are one cat in a million. The late great Mel Blanc as the title role voice had me in hysterics every day afterschool at 3pm when Heathcliff would make his rounds and stake his claim in the neighborhood. Every episode you could expect Heathcliff was going to do something crazy, from beating up the Siamese twins, to getting revenge on the CatFather!! My favorite episode would have to be "The Kit Kat Club" Classic, except for that annoying Iggy. What's with the bowtie son? My all-time favorite cartoon.

I liked so much this cartoon in my childhood Heathcliff catlac cats was jolly good and heathcliff's theme songs really wonderful. Who remembers theme song?

This segment was the second half of the Heathcliff television series. It starred Riff Raff, a short big-talking orange cat who lived in a junkyard with his sidekicks, Hector a Himalayan cat who of schemed of himself being the boss, Worsdworth a white cat that spoke in rhyme, and Mungo, a big dumb purple cat. Riff Raff's girlfriend Cleo lived in a music shop (and she is arguable one of the nicest looking female cartoon characters ever). Many episodes revolved around Riff Raff trying to gain money to buy food, or try to buy something expensive for Cleo. Others involved the cats fighting off strangers or intruders that dared try to take over their junkyard. And why were these guys called The Catillac Cats? They were cats that had a Cadillac car. But it didn't just drive around. It could morph into a kinds of things: A hovercraft, a trailer, a submarine, you name it. The Cadillac really was what made the show unique, and is what held a child's interest. Sure Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats were for kids, but I am 17 and I miss this show, particularly the Catillac Cats (I found the Heathcliff segments very boring), and I wish they were back on TV. Yes, they are on DVD now, and that's wonderful. But only a handful of episodes are on DVD, and it'd be more satisfying to see every episode released. That would make one of the world's greatest Christmas presents.

Ah! those sweet memories from childhood.

This was one of my favorite cartoons. "Heathcliff and the Cats" (title for Mèxico) was a tender cartoon with mix of adventure. That Heathcliff always got himself in problems and also managed to involve his friends.

To be honest, I don't remember a lot about this show but truly, my little memories are very sweet and I can say that this was a great cartoon for children.

I enjoyed it at it's full because it was entertaining and also had bits of action.

Recommended!

God I loved this show when I was a tyke. Like many of my other great memories I have when it comes to T.V., it used to air on Nickelodeon back in the day. It had some good plots, and funny characters (mainly Heathcliff, and the 2 catillac cats I think one was named Hector, and the other Mungo. The rhyming cat was annoying!) who ranged from smart, to stupid. It was also funny when Heathcliff beat up Spike all the time although it got old after a while. It's a shame it's not on anymore because it was so funny! 10/10.
