Who knows, maybe Catscratch could have had a season 2. But today let's look into Catscratch, what it's about, what happened to it and some information behind the production.

Thank you so much for watching! :D 67
@

@mr.checkyourself46723 years ago I always called them the cat versions of Ed Edd n Eddy 939
@

@Trainfan1055Janathan3 years ago 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." 621
@

@DeepWeeb3 years ago 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 🌈✨ ... 296
@

@Courier-Six3 years ago 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. 478
@

@100mesmerized93 years ago Gordon = Edd/Double D
Waffle = Ed
Mr. Blik = Eddy 201
@

@Kittenfox_553 years ago Sad to say, most Nicktoons since the mid 2000's have a life span of 2 seasons. 320
@

@indesomniac3 years ago waffles design is so genuinely perfect- i love the proportions and the extra folds around his legs he has such character 32
@

@Kittenfox_553 years ago It's so weird that Nick decided to have a McDonald's happy meal tie in for a show that last 1 season. 186
@

@SaibotKing20003 years ago Catscratch absolutely deserved better. This was a big throwback for me as I always thought this show was underrated 78
@

@Slurku3 years ago The cats not having noses always bothered me, even as a kiddo. 217
@

@LovelessYayaoi3 years ago This show's theme song has lived rent free in my brain-closet for all these years. 164
@

@JackpotSama3 years ago I remember there was a Catscratch game, it was turn based and you had to defeat eachother, I had a lot of fun playing it years ago 47
@

@eatatjoes67513 years ago 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. ... 50
@

@jamielamie22293 years ago ya know, even as a young child I thought Gordon was kinda sus for liking the neighbor girl 156
@

@JayniacJr3 years ago 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? ... 238
@

@xSunnyEclipse3 years ago 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. ... 35
@

@lightspeedmurphy75463 years ago 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? 65
@

@justyumi44103 years ago 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! ... 31
@

@RinaPinxz223 years ago Absolutely adored this show when I was younger. Even now as a grownup I sometimes randomly sing the theme song opening. 41
@

@daymonharris86963 years ago I absolutly loved this show when i was younger, i did not know why but something about it was and is still charming to me about catscratch 60
@

@theluigifan13 years ago 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) ... 129
@

@yaboimccoy81093 years ago I will never forget the zombie laser light show episode, the sassyfrass episode, and the root beer sleepover episode. Iconic 17
@

@antonsrpgplus26783 years ago I was in a shelter as a kid and I remember watching this show there and when we got our own place I watched it all the time. Life ain't so bad 21
@

@kahlief3 years ago I was hoping this whole thing would be a Manscaped ad, but my dreams were dashed at [redacted]. Thanks for the nostalgia trip again, sir Fringe. 32
@

@kaloveshoran3 years ago watching catscratch at my great grandma's house in 2005 is literally one of my earliest memories. i was 5. super nostalgic. 8
@

@m.g.trazor4173 years ago Doug TenNapel knows how to design characters, that's all there is to it. 21
@

@TheFoxtabulousVixie3 years ago Oh my god, I completely forgot about CatScratch, that show was my jab, until it was wiped from T.V and then i forgot about it. 21
@

@Nightthade3 years ago 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. 9
@

@EpicToySeries3 years ago It's a travesty that this show isn't on Paramount+ yet. 16
@

@robbieharris87583 years ago 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. ... 21
@

@Wavebird973 years ago 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 12
@

@FANGIRLFROMJA3 years ago This show was a crucial part of my childhood and I'm glad to see other people miss it. 6
@

@Sidewinder19963 years ago I loved catscratch. The flash games were lit, the theme song a banger 17
@

@ryanbobadilla25273 years ago 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. 9
@

@reven86833 years ago 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. ... 12
@

@superaustin63833 years ago 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. ... 10
3 years ago 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 ... 10
@

@VampirePrinceKRS3 years ago I would love these cats in the upcoming Nick All Star Brawl :) even if they end up having to be DLC. 16
@

@SerenitySpiderMonkey3 years ago The episode where Waffle turns "evil" is my favorite. The allergy episode gave me nightmares 5
@

@JacobFiveash3 years ago 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. 7
@

@retrogamer31373 years ago As a 2003 kid I barely remember this show and im soooo glad it wasn't just a fever dream 3
@

@NewYorksMostWanted8 months ago 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. ... 1
@

@mizzphitzbeta2 years ago I always loved watching this show on TV when I was a kid. I still can’t believe I still remember it to this day 😂 2
@

@tvgamerstan61803 years ago 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. ... 9
@

@DarkTyyp3 years ago I freaking LOVED this show!! I totally forgot how good this was. This video brought back a lot of great childhood memories 😭😭😭 6
@

@thekita67743 years ago 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. ... 8
@

@annysafier71423 years ago 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 5
@

@Junejan19082 years ago 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🥲 ... 1
@

@GamerBoyDevin3 years ago You have awoken something in me that I did not even know was missing. 4
@

@guilty1703 years ago Thanks for reminding me of this show and great video. This also got me thinking of other forgotten gems like Mr. Meaty and What a Cartoon. 3
@

@notfrank65868 months ago when I was a kid I thought the Kimberly part was more of a cat wanting owner to love him not... that. 2
@

@AquaAtia3 years ago 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 3
@

@supernova92743 years ago 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 6
@

@mihawk5083 years ago It still doesn’t sit right with me how Gordon has a crush on a human child 3
@

@cherriegetison60933 years ago 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! 5
@

@highstepnightowl3 years ago The intro was so good, it made me start watching the show. Also, seeing those cute newts pop up randomly in episodes.
@

@jpad71653 years ago 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. 2
@

@skubo3 years ago 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! ...
@

@Pollypocket12 years ago It is pretty nice to get a full closure on all of these epic shows I reminisce with thanks to you ✨ 1
@

@Dm344213 years ago Nick was producing good but strange content in the mid 2000s. 18
@

@magnetoonproductions95413 years ago 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. 6
@

@patcahill37242 weeks ago Catscratch is such an underrated show for sure 1
@

@bloonh8tr6193 years ago 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 6
@

@CartoonLab3 years ago I loved this show when it came out. Doug's art style and humor have always been a plus for me. 2
@

@inakakiwiana3 years ago 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 1
@

@Flamefrosty3 years ago I really loved how fluid and on model this show would be animated 1
@

@october85103 years ago 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. 2
@

@TheMimic123 years ago Hovis taught me the word "imbecile" when I was a kid and it's been in my vocabulary ever since 2
@

@georgiabadiali23213 years ago 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 8
@

@Galaxy-MusicX2 years ago 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. 3
@

@hannahsings193 years ago 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! 😂 3
@

@XmortoxX199010 months ago I need more Catscratch. I barely remember it because it was barely live where I lived, but I do remember loving it a lot, and watching some clips, it still hold up well
@

@guicyfruitguy882 years ago This theme song is still stuck in my head almost daily to this day
@

@kerfluffal5803 years ago I've normally seen the shows/movies you talk about here, but in this case not so much. I remember seeing Catscratch toys and wondering what it was, but somehow in all my cartoon watching I just never crossed paths. I actually completely forgot about it until this video. I definitely need to check it out. And as always, great video Fringe! ...
@

@shinkaiatsuya9503 years ago 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. 2
@

@SpicyAir2 years ago 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. ...
@

@roberttreacy82712 years ago This is, IMO, one of Nickelodeon’s most underrated shows (if not, THE most). 1
@

@slumptris3 years ago 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 3
@

@planb4363 years ago I remember this show and had good memories of cat scratch. I was wondering what had happened to it but now I know thanks!
@

@unapologeticapollo42543 years ago This and Nick magazine were so good. Thank you for unlocking this memory vault!
@

@mexapollo99483 years ago "Kevin Mcdonald and his farms"
That got a really nice laugh out of me 😂
@

@commoncommentatingcommento86832 weeks ago When I first saw Mr Blick, I thought so that’s what a Gengar looks like when it loses weight.
@

@char-15593 years ago That smooth slide into the ad is AMAZING
@

@pikashroom13 years ago I love Mr. Blick's design so much, that's the main thing I remember from watching the show back when it came out
@

@alexthetiger78069 months ago I just want to say that the Catscratch theme song still gets stuck in my head regularly to this day
@

@davidstrawn92722 years ago I love Catscratch! Mr. Blik is my favorite character, not only he made me laugh with his bad behavior, bad temper, and bad attitude (due to being bossy and snobbish) which is what Wayne Knight will do, but being a black cat reminded me of my own black cat at home. He's one of my favorite fictional black kitties along with Luna from Sailor Moon, Bagheera from Disney's the Jungle Book, and Binx from Hocus Pocus (not sure if I count Sylvester from Steve Cash's Talking kitty cat series on YT). Apart from Blik being a cat version of Eddie from Ed Edd and Eddy, I also love to imagine anyone portrayed Mr. Blik as other grumpy characters from different shows/movies like Grumpy from Disney's Snow White, Kirby the Vaccum Cleaner from "The Brave Little Toaster", Mr. Threehorn (Cera's dad or Daddy Topps) from "The Land Before Time" franchise, Rex from "Babe", Kerchack from "Disney's Tarzan" (though both Tantor and Blik voiced by Wayne Knight himself, but Kerchack is bossier like Mr. Blik), and Makuu the Crocodile from "Disney Junior's the Lion Guard". That's why Mr. Blik's my favorite character! ...
@

@JaelinBezel2 years ago This show is where I learned the word “Adequate”. 1
@

@charliepea3 years ago 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. ... 1
@

@ElPsychoDog3 years ago The theme song is STILL stuck in my head to this day, it's THAT catchy!
@

@stotab87002 years ago I don't even remember that much about this show, yet what I DO remember is permanently etched in my brain.
@

@W-2Forms3 years ago I think about this show often and it’s nice to see a video on it
@

@p.zansei32803 years ago Oh my, JUST last week I had an earworm about the butler from Catscratch's name. Thanks Jordan. and yes, I loved this show quite a lot. hit different. And thanks for reminding me of the Love jackal that is Hovis.
@

@noahreese24553 years ago Oh man, if I did not see this on the home for youtube, I would have forgotten this show forever. I loved this show and I forgot it even existed. Wow, I cant believe I forgot it.
@

@layenny17833 years ago Nobody:

@lazysans21603 years ago Thanks For Reminding me of the Show Totally forgot about it was a great time
