LOST MEDIA: Whatever Happened To Catscratch?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Catscratch was a short lived show that ran on Nickelodeon from 2005-2007. The show was created by Doug TenNapel, the creator of the hit video game series Earthworm Jim. Though the show only ran for two years, it was,in my opinion, genuinely good. It even got nominated for a few awards in its time. I was shocked to find out the history behind the show and what had inspired the characters that appear in this show. But there is a few questions about this show that remain unanswered. First of all, whatever happened to Catscratch? Why did it seem to disappear out of nowhere? Why isn't there any reruns of this show? Why was it never put out on DVD? And why is it not on any streaming platforms? Today, on our nostalgic walk down memory lane, we are going to dive into the rabbit hole of Catscratch.
Thank you for watching!

Catscratch is one of my favorite nicktoons of all time, and I’m sad that it’s fading to obscurity, My favorite episodes are when Gordon gets an allergic reaction, and his brothers mistake him for a monster, and the one when waffle befriends a bunch of lobsters.
Very underrated show ❤❤.i love it, and I believe the name of the first episode you mentioned is love sick *with gordon being allergic to broccoli, I love waffle there especially, we know Gordon's allergic, so stop trying to trick us with the truth, TRUTH TRICKER!!!!😂*
i ask people "hey, do you remember Catscratch?" and literally 0 people have ever said yes. i almost thought it was a case of mandala effect. no joke
I know that feel. But you know whats the worse part? I vividly remembered back in my 4th grade year in elementary. When we form teams and name our teams after a certain topic. The topic st the time was cartoons. I went with Catscratch when my hand was chosen. Literally no one heard of the show. We went with a different name, but it broke my heart that no one even at the time heard of the cartoon
I used to watch this all the time when I was little, nobody knows what it is when I bring it up either
If somebody mentioned the show just by name I would have said no, but I basically instantly had recollection after seeing the thumbnail for this video and the resulting clips shown. Possibly erased from memory and history for some, but I do recall it, not at fondly as some other cartoons from my childhood, but it still has a spot there somewhere.
I remember it.
@@Kolesha cat scratch was so underrated because it disappeared quickly 😔
Waffle was my favorite. "Splee!" I think I remember there being an episode where it shows how smart he really is and it's just his carefree silly nature that lays on the surface.
Catscratch is lost??? i used to love this show. made me like root beer fr.
i'm glad it's not _lost_ lost, but it's a shame that it was forgotten and is incredibly difficult to find. i always thought it was a fun show, and it had potential to be well-loved at the time or even just a cult classic now.
It is a cult classic, just one that hasn't been released in years.
I think if they released it on dvd then it might have a chance of it being remembered more
@@moxxxi_830two episodes were released on the Nick Picks volume DVDs
i went into this thinking “hey, i have an episode on a nick picks dvd!” but then you said that’s all that’s left of it. incredible how something can just disappear.
This show was really underrated. It's actually pretty sad that most of the episodes are just gone like that, as I remember watching it on Nickelodeon regularly when I was younger and then finding nearly all of them a few years later on RUclips, only for them all to just start vanishing. The humor had a more natural feel and rarely came off as obnoxious, the characters were well-rounded, and the writers really knew how to just have fun with its concept. l remember there was actually one more serious episode where Mr. Blik keeps being followed by a wooly mammoth that him and his brothers discovered, after it mistakes him for its mother. Blik is annoyed and aggressive first, but starts to develop a parent-like bond with it before it's killed by an angry mob, with Blik failing to rescue it from falling and crying over the fact that he was his "mommy". At the end of the episode, the next morning Blik wakes up, depressed, and finds a stick on his windowsill that he used to play with the mammoth earlier on (I'm pretty sure there was a shot of the mammoth's trunk putting the stick on the window), making him smile.
I apologize for writing a book I just wanted to share my little piece. I know the show isn't completely lost, I just wanted to share this little part that always stuck with me, in case it wasn't one of those that were available to watch anywhere.
I'm so horrifically saddened that it's not on DVD. I loved this show. Mr. Blik was my favorite. This show was so funny to me as an adult. My mother hated it though but I didn't care. Lol. I hope to find the entire series on DVD someday.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this show especially WAFFLE! I’m 23 and I still watch it online, I wish the show lasted longer and I can’t believe anyone think this show this show was horrible😩 what’s wrong with you people
Also thank you for this video happy to know it wasn’t just me and my mom who loved Catscrach
Where do you watch it?
Catscratch was amazing, and hearing it was done by the creator of Earthworm Jim makes a lot of sense.
A show that I loved that met a similar fate was Time Squad. I remember loving that show _immensely_ growing up. But now it's fallen into complete obscurity and I don't know if any full episodes are available....
Time Squad falling into obscurity is truly such a tragedy, it was one of my favorite shows growing up myself.
Damn I forgot about time squad..
I love the episode where Hovis pretends to be the ghost of the old lady & that duck was beastly
I totally loved that show... i remember seeing it last on nicktoons germany sometime around 2015 ( funfact, in the german dubbed version gordon speaks in a frisian accent )... very sad to see that it isn't available anywhere nowadays.
My Thursday is officially off to a good start.
Im literally watching this on a thursday
@@LightBloxVidsYT *insert spider-man pointing at other Spider-Man meme*
I recall enjoying it and I also recall being weirded out that it disappeared. This is one of those shows I never really forgot
I love learning how a show I loved as a kid came to be and how it ended. Great video!
I remember this show well actually! I loved it in fact, mainly cause I was always a big cat lover. I used to draw the three brothers every now and then on my schoolwork too. Good times.
I still have this show on a nickelodeon CD from like 2007
I wish Catscratch got more recognition. The show was nowhere near spectacular, but definitely still enjoyable and far from bad.
I personally did not watch cat scratch but I do remember it being on a lot during my high school years and thinking wow, this show must be very popular.
I *LOVED* Catscratch as kid
I was JUST thinking about that old 3-player Catscratch browser game that played like Worms. Crazy.
One of my favorites growing up. Waffle was always my favorite because I almost related to him a lot. He was like this weird encyclopedia of knowledge but never tried to be seen as “the smart one” and just enjoyed things he liked knowing his brothers will protect him and guide him into exciting situations. Oh how my young undiagnosed autism self felt represented.💚💚💚💚
I had a Gordon knight toy where the face would change!
5:32 is an underrated sentence with a _very_ underrated voice actor. Just hearing the way she says "who are you to defy my will" fills me with unexplainable glee.
Also, I remember this show! I loved it as a kid. Didn't it air alongside "My Dad the Rockstar" ?
Does anyone else find it suspicious that only Avatar is the one Nicktoon the network admits existed in 2005, while the other two shows they treat as if they were never green lighted in the first place? I always thought that Nick was decent in the distribution category, for their official Nicktoons at least, but for some bizarre reason, they never released any of the 2005 Nicktoons in any distribution site, baring Avatar.
Yes, I remember liking it! I also found a Mr Blick toy from, like, McDonalds or Burger King, that I had.
Also, would be interested to see you cover the Redwall animated series, it has three seasons and I remembered only a tiny part of it from when I was little until I found it later and was able to watch the whole thing
I loved Catscratch! We even named our grey tabby Waffle.
I haven't seen this cartoon in years. Wish they released the complete series on DVD or Blu-Ray. Liked that Rob Paulsen was in it as Gordon.
I love Catscratch!
My favorite episode are the one where Mr. Blik’s fur gets dyed green, the one where the cats divide up the house, the one where Hovis pretends to be Mrs. Cramdilly, and, my personal favorite, the one where Gordon helps the Kraken restore his honor.
Honestly, Gordon Quid is one of the most heroic characters I’ve ever seen! He defeated a banshee using the power of song, defeated a Kraken twice, & took down aliens who mistook the mansion for a spaceship! He’s incredible
I'm 42 right now and cat scratch when it came on was one of the best shows! I mean this is my 30s I think and it was just it was so good. The characters looked perfect! I actually found this video trying to just see whatever happened to this show cuz it was so good and kind of just disappeared. Wonderful video man this is great I love it, what I was looking for but it sucks we can't get them on DVD
I just randomly woke up at 7am wanting to watch this so I came to RUclips. Just to find out there are no full episodes ANYWHERE. How random and heartbreaking
Man that summer when the show premiered was such a happy time in my childhood. I wish this show would come back somehow. It was one of the few that would genuinely make me laugh.
Yes I remember it..it used to be one of my favorites..and just look at that animation style and movement..something that you cant find this days
I love Catscratch, and I never knew you know about Earthworm Jim! I love Earthworm Jim a lot not gonna lie. And catscratch is to me, Nick's version of Ed Edd n Eddy, except you replace their obsession for jawbreakers with an obsession for root beer. It is so underrated and does deserve a lot better honestly.
i completely forgot this show thank you so much for reminding me :') i watched this at 9-10 years old and really enjoyed it
I felt like I unlocked a secret memory
I always wondered why it was that Nickelodeon totally abandoned the show to the point where no DVDs were made nor is it on streaming
If you love Catscratch, I highly recommend watching the Brazilian cartoon Boris E Rufus. It has an English dub and its like a spiritual successor to the show.
I loved the show as a kid, watching it whenever it was on tv, always loved seeing how these three cats spend their wealth on the dumbest things. It sucks when media is lost to time and you never really see much of it ever again, i don't really see the point in sealing it away for forever, who is it benefitting to never let a show see the light of day again?
As soon as I heard the theme song, I started singing along and all the memories came back. "Gordan, Waffle and Mr. Blik, had an owner that was really rich...."

Sorry, I realize that's a huge list, but once I started remembering them, I couldn't stop 😂😂
Hey, at least it's a lot of cartoons you could talk about & possibly use to make videos with lmao
To fit in the vein of Rugrats & A Pup Named Scooby Doo, can't forget Baby Looney Tunes & the old Care Bears
Oh, also, if you want more obscure ones, look no further than Action League Now and Mr. Meaty
This series was very nostalgic for me. Sad it became lost media. Thankfully i found the episodes online
I used to watch this as a kid, but I barely remember anything about it. My parents really enjoyed it, though!
Catscratch, now that's a show I haven't thought about in a while. I was never particularly fond of it while it was airing, but I didn't hate it either. Shame to see that it's become so obscure.
I remember watching this as a child but I don’t remember it effecting my childhood any sort of way. I just remember watching it when my favorite shows weren’t on or coming up next. And I remember they sold catscratch toys in the McDonald’s happy meals.
I think if it had been made in the 90s, it probably would've had more success on Nick. It seems more like a 90s Nicktoon than a 2000s Nicktoon to me.
Luckily, Paramount+ has been releasing other short-lived Nicktoons like Harvey Beaks and Welcome to the Wayne. So there is a chance Catscratch might be on this platform.
Most likely not, because, for some reason, the network treats this show, and the X's, as if they were the biggest mistakes they've ever made.
@Random User El Tigre will definitely be on there eventually. Not sure about Catscratch.
I loved this one as a kid. Im sad it didn't go bigger. Honestly if they made the show again they could go with the original source material.
I love cat scratch, was my childhood. There used to be a lot of full episodes on RUclips, but they all got taken down years ago.
The plot of the series reminded me of Aristocats but in a timeline where the butler didn't decided to try to kill them, but realize he would still outlive the cats.
If im not mistaken, this show was aired on Malaysia's TV9 in around 2014-2016, or earlier maybe?. I remembered i watched it sometime then.
Hey, Shawn. Probably my first time commenting on your channel, but to let you know, there is a RUclips channel called “Forgotten Junk” that has all of the episodes of Catscratch (except episodes 19a and 19b because of a Copyright Claim), so if you want to go down an even deeper nostalgic walk down Memory Lane, you know what to do.
I loved this show as a kid and was sad when it stopped airing and just disappeared. Like, it doesn't seem like a Fanboy and Chumchum scenario where they want to erase it from memory but given that it only had 1 season, they might not have deemed it worthy of keeping alive despite its nominations.
This is literally the lost memory bank ive been searching for for near decades
I didnt remember the name i just ask people "do you remember a cartoon about talking cats that drove rat-rod cars and trucks?"
They always said no
Why did this video just unlock a deep memory of a show i didn’t even know was locked away, oh wow
I loved this cartoon when i was a child. Still remember when i got the black cat toy from McDonald's inside a Walmart. Good times 😂😂😂
I remember catscratch! I have a nicktoons disc with an episode on it. Im sad that it's lost media because i remember it vividly.
SPLEEEE!
I remember the show, very little of it actually.i wanted toknow it's conclusion but I also questioning why Gordon is simping for Kimberly that part of the show is rather suspicious
Deserved more love too the writing was actually funny up there with early spongebob and Jimmy neuron 😂😂
Nothing like a Thursday morning stroll down memory lane!
I do remember that show and I was a bit sad that it didn’t come maybe is because of Nickelodeon themself or might be the crater but on the bright side I’m only hope for them to come back is they’re DLC fighters for NASB
I think it's likely because of Doug TenNapel becoming a nazi wackjob and pushing bullshit conspiracy theories, can't blame Nick for not wanting to put more money in his pocket.
i vaguely remember 2 episodes of this show
"the lucky claw"
and the episode where the 3 brothers buy robot versions of themselves
thats it, i remember the show existing, but i dont remember any other episodes besides those 2 and i couldn't even tell you the whole plot of either of those episodes
I have fond memories of this cartoon. For whatever reason it was one of the shows that my sister and I really latched onto and quoted all the time - it is actually very meme worthy.
Doug TenNapel used to be a big influence on me artistically. The unfortunate part is he's kinda blacklisted nowadays for some of his controversial opinions - hes very much conservative christian kinda homophobic...
Please once again if you can do the top 5 Disney's Recess Episodes.
Its on my video ideas list!
catscratch is on amazon prime canada in good resolution
You dug a deep buried memory out of my subconscious with that Kracken episode. I also remember the one where they dress up as girls so they can sneak into the slumber party and drink root beer.
God I loved this show
I vaguely remember the episode where Gordon became a monster bc he was allergic to broccoli but that's about it
The reruns are in my country now
6:37 that's a lil more than defeat XD rip tri-kraken
please make more videos around this era of nick cartoons!! i love the 90s stuff too but we need lots more 2000s it’s so fun
I loved and miss this show...
I remember watching an episode of this show when I was 9 years old. It wasn’t bad, but I ended up having nightmares for a week., it was pretty disturbing, it was the episode where some slugs that tried to kill the cats. They then fell into the deep abyss along with the toilet. And for a second I thought they went to hell, but they were in China. And then I had a nightmare where I was on the toilet, and I fell 1009 feet down the floor and this time I ended up in hell.
Ah, my childhood in fact this cartoon got me into cats, believe it or not. But the sad thing is that even for its time, I remembered that I was the only in my 4th grade class, when we name teams after cartoons, to even know about this show during its airing. Which makes me sad.
My favorite two episodes of Catscratch are Katilda and Blikmail.
Yeez this show i totaly forget i know i watched it but was so young i cant remember the episodes
The brothers flub, idk why I remember liking this show but I know it was one of my favorites at one point
I miss this show 😢
Hopefully Mr. Blik is in Nicktoons All Star Brawl
I honestly really enjoyed this show as a kid i mean heck i have a oc loosely base on Mr.bliks design in away😅so yeah it sad to see this show fade like it never even happened:(
Yeah i Remember this Show, One of Voices Sounded Familier (Waffle's Voice), and it was like a Kids "The 3 Stooges", but instead of People its Cats that Mess Around with the Wealth they got.
there is nothing worse than realizing that only you remember that
Im not sure if it was a kid's show but I used to watch it as a teen. It was on Mtv. Sifl and Olly. That show was messed up!
I think the only episode I watched was the episode where they were on a pirate ship. Aside from that, I love the show. I hope Thaddeus Crews puts these guys in for DLC.
Dusk till Shawn you're cute and great content lol my new fave to watch!
I watch this show a lot when I was younger.
as always good video I loved this show as a kid it is one of my favorite show
What happened to the other show the x’s I liked that show too ! These two show were my favorite ! Too during that era too !~❤😊😁😇💕 2005 - 2006 .
Catscratch was a odd but a good show. 😀👍🐱
Damn, this chanel is a hudden gem!
All of Catscratch is on Amazon Prime for me so I didn't think the series was lost haha
Do you live in Canada? The full series is on there.
Where did you find the episodes? I’ve been looking and looking and can’t find jack.
Shame they never released the episodes on a DVD set.
I really hope catscratch gets a DVD release from shout factory. Were getting a complete jimmy neutron series release so who knows?
Is it a coincidence the Jordan Fringe video came out only a few days ago
Best show on Disney at the time
This show deserved a longer run, blame Avatar & Spongebob for that.
who ever wrote that review (didn't bother remembering her name) clearly didn't even watch the show...
I was in high school when this one came out but I had nephews. Remember it but wasn't a fan.
