It has been many years since I saw this show Top Cat - The Complete Series. I was very satisfied with it.

Anyone who has ever been a fan of the humble cartoon and especially if you were a 1970's "latch key kid" will LOVE this boxed set. It takes you back to the day of simple humour, fun characters and overall good, light hearted entertainment. The amazing Hanna Barbera at it's best!!!!

I was just a kid when Top Cat became the second prime-time cartoon show, and couldn't wait to watch it. The Flintstones broke the ice in '60, and TC and crew came on in '61. It is a real tragedy they didn't make more Top Cat, because of the two, I and many others prefer this feline take on the old Sgt. Bilko show.
The quality of the video is fantastic--and it's GREAT seeing them all in color. (I had no idea Choo-Choo was PINK)... of course it was only done that way to create all the right shades of gray/white/black for a show that only aired in black and white--but in color it's even better. The audio could be a little louder, unless it's just that my DVD player doesn't pick up the audio track that well; I have to have the volume almost to full 100 to get it clear across my living room. Other than that, I split my sides watching the antics of TC and company, and am amazed at how much I remember even after not having seen this show in over 40 years! I KNEW sooner or later he'd call officer Dibble--Officer Dribble... I distinctly remembered it... and he did. Memories, Memories!
Benny the Ball, Chooch, Fancy, Brain, Spook, and TC, they're all here and what fun it is to share them with my grandkids who love them as much as I did. It's SO refreshing to be able to show them cartoons that do NOT have kids who hate their parents, dysfunctional families that are rife with obscenities, and sexual innuendo... none of that.. just good clean wholesome...and funny entertainment. Love it.
Oh, and the extra features on each disc are fun as well... interviews with the voices of Leo De Lyon who was both Spook and Brain, (Am I just spinning wheels, or was there a character called Leo the Lion, and Hardy Har Har?---could this be the guy who was THAT voice too? LOL) and in another one, the guy who was Chooch's voice, and even Top Cat himself. They also have one episode on each disk where you can hear them discussing the show as it's played (this is NOT the regular show--but an extra)... and it's really enlightening hearing all the commentary.
I was leery of the investment at first, and still rue the fact that there aren't a whole lot more episodes of this wonderful show available. That said, anyone who came up in the era of those great Hanna-Barbera cartoon shows like Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Deputy Dawg, Flintstones, Jetsons,...all great FAMILY fun... will just love TC and the Gang!

While my kids don't really get the undercurrent of Top Cat and his crew, I sure do. At 34 years old, this really brings me back. What a great series.

This collection is just as I remembered it. That was a long time ago but Hanna Barbera 'toons from that era are charming. I do enjoy the trip back.
