CatDog (1998–2005)
1/10
Not even Funny
30 January 2007
This show is pathetic. It stinks. It's not even funny!! Nicktoon's done it again. They feature another stupid show! One about Super Mario clones & dubbed by 4kids entertainment!! Even more pathetic!! Nicktoons used to be great! What happened? This is what happened. Nicktoons is trying to get really funny shows on, but all the shows they get are basically trying too hard to be funny. In doing that they make the show over-funny! And over-funny is not funny! Not funny one bit!!! CatDog is one of those shows. And I hate OVER-FUNNY shows. It's pathetic. All I have to say to CatDog is this, "Try Again. You guys suck. You're pathetic. Even more you're ridiculous than Cow & Chicken."

Never, I mean NEVER, Thought that a show this disgustingly horrible could even possibly exist. Back when NicktoonsNetwork began advertising for it's new set of shows, it wasn't Yakkity Yak that caught my eye, it was CatDog. I had high expectations for this show, despite the fact that it was thrown completely out of the blue at us, with no explanation or description of the core plot line. I eagerly awaited for it to preimere, and then, finally the morning came. Man was I let down.

It was so downright terrible that it was actually PAINFUL for me to watch the first 15 minutes of it! But trying to hold fast to my policy of watching at least one whole episode of a show before judging it, I sat still for the daunting task of sitting through 30 minutes of this garbage.

Why is it so bad? Let's start with the characters. For a moment, lets completely ignore the fact that both Nicktoons Network and the show itself refused to explain what exactly was supposed to be going on with this show. The story was filled with one cliché after another. You have the two friends, the Brawny and brave, the brainy and cowardly. Absolutely nothing new here. And the characters had no depth, and no personalities, outside what I just mentioned before. Throw in a cute little animal that follows them everywhere, and, ta-da, your unoriginality soup is finished.

The story, which, when read about actually sounds semi-interesting but as stated is a pain to watch, fails in every aspect and is only pushed down lower by the poor writing for each individual episode. The jokes failed to even get me to grant a small smile. Corniness and clichés abounded.

The only redeeming quality I can find in this show is that the animation style is nice to look at; there's not much more going for this show other than that. I suggest you avoid "CatDog" at all costs.
