    The best show I've seen on cartoon network so far.

    This is the coolest cartoon series I've ever watched.I seen the first episodes in 1995.It was rad.I fell in love with the damn thing.At the time it was the best animated series airing on CN...and I think that 'till today they haven't showed anything so well done. Anyway,a few "ears" later some "eediot"(I don't give names,I think you know very well who am I talking about)decided that the show was too violent or something like that and canceled it. Wake up fellas!!!Put it back on!! What the hell are we , the SK fans supposed to watch?The Powerpuff Girls??.....

    Excellent

    This show was really cool. There was a lot of creativity here, especially in the characters departments. The gadgets were also pretty cool. And the animation... well what can I say? It was simply great and well done. Catch the reruns on the Cartoon Network.

    Ended by stupidity Swat Kats still remains in many hearths forever.

    Swat Kats is probably one of the best cartoons of the century ... If compare it to all action shows on cartoon network it still would be the best. It was a masterpiece of work in every aspect. Just mentioning Hanna-Barbara, means we have that old school everlasting sense of "fine" animation and sound so unlike todays "modern" 1-5 color cartoons with some walking talking squares and triangles who usually appear as freaks, sissies or pimps, with some rather moronic roles. Swat Kats had OUTSTANDING action put together by - good sense of moral, valor, fantasy, mystery and humor. And the excuse of violence they used to stop the show was so miserable. If we look at todays cartoons they even dare use sexual propaganda freely, turning kids into the well known "pigs" that you can encounter in some bar. Swat Kats deserves huge RESPECT for making the whole show interesting while NOT pressing on "Duh Slang N Shitz/Lingo" and still be able to keep every episode a thrill ... Even if you don't like action cartoons or cartoons at all you still cant deny the pure sense of SUPREME quality that Swat Kats offered compared to other cartoons. About what was the cartoon like i don't need to tell you better see for your self (:

    Deserved a better fate

    Extremely well-rendered cartoon, with good characters. They did a good job with the "double-life" of the main kats: mechanics by day, vigilantes by night (usually). The bad guys could be a bit formulaic, and the show sometimes got a bit tech-happy ("check out THIS weapon"), but for the most part, a good show. It always seemed to be on at the wrong time - way too early, and paired up with "2 Stupid Dogs". Rumor has it Ted Turner caught an episode and ordered it yanked. The final episode was a hastily-thrown-together "best of" show, which was even lamer than most attempts at same. That shouldn't detract from it being remembered as a great series from the early days of the cartoon renaissance.

    Funny, slick, <insert appropriate superlative here> cartoon

    This has got to be my favourite cartoon of all time. I had to watch reruns on power zone's midnight run recently, but it was worth staying up for the swat kats.

    It has great music, cool characters, witty dialogue, lots of action and is just a really slick show overall. The artwork on was very good - right from razor and t-bone to the jet to the whole look of mega-kat city.

    Mega Kat City was disaster prone, but swat kats managed to be cartoonish and suitable for kids without degenerating into the silliness or stupidity. It never failed to be funny and stylish.

    I wish I could find it somewhere on DVD to buy.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In a 2009 interview with Lance Falk (Writer / Design Coordinator) he said that the way he heard about the reason behind the cancellation of SWAT Kats was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kids. When it got canceled, there was a paragraph from Turner in Entertainment Weekly (early 1995) entitled "Ted's Excellent Speaking Engagement" concerning cartoon violence: "We have more cartoons than anybody: 'The Flintstones', 'The Jetsons', 'The Smurfs', 'Scooby-Doo'. They're nonviolent. We don't have to worry that we're encouraging kids to kill each other--like SOME of the other cartoon programs do".
    • Goofs
      When in civilian outfit, the titular cats have shoes. But when they are in their Swat uniforms, the cats are barefoot.

    • Alternate versions
      Before the openings, there would be clips of the episode to air with Razor's voice saying "Today on Swat Kats..." In later years and on Cartoon Network, they stopped showing them.
