Good innocent cartoon, 28 September 2003
Author: dead_dudeINthehouse

This was a fun show. In the style of most of the 80's cartoons, Heathcliff is a fun 30 tv show. I remember watching it when I was 7 years old and when I think about it I smile because it was an innocent and sometimes tender cartoon. Yeah that's what some people same as my age used to watch, now what cartoons are popular? Cartoons that feature grizzly violence. Sad.

Funny Cartoon!, 2 February 2002
Author: dootuss from PA

God I loved this show when I was a tyke. Like many of my other great memories I have when it comes to T.V., it used to air on Nickelodeon back in the day. It had some good plots, and funny characters (mainly Heathcliff, and the 2 catillac cats I think one was named Hector, and the other Mungo. The rhyming cat was annoying!) who ranged from smart, to stupid. It was also funny when Heathcliff beat up Spike all the time although it got old after a while. It's a shame it's not on anymore because it was so funny! 10/10.

Part of my childhood..., 5 January 2007
8/10
Author: insomniac_rod from Noctropolis

Ah! those sweet memories from childhood.

This was one of my favorite cartoons. "Heathcliff and the Cats" (title for Mèxico) was a tender cartoon with mix of adventure. That Heathcliff always got himself in problems and also managed to involve his friends.

To be honest, I don't remember a lot about this show but truly, my little memories are very sweet and I can say that this was a great cartoon for children.

I enjoyed it at it's full because it was entertaining and also had bits of action.

Recommended!

The Catillac Cats, 11 December 2004
Author: angrybeavers13 from Seattle, Washington

This segment was the second half of the Heathcliff television series. It starred Riff Raff, a short big-talking orange cat who lived in a junkyard with his sidekicks, Hector a Himalayan cat who of schemed of himself being the boss, Worsdworth a white cat that spoke in rhyme, and Mungo, a big dumb purple cat. Riff Raff's girlfriend Cleo lived in a music shop (and she is arguable one of the nicest looking female cartoon characters ever). Many episodes revolved around Riff Raff trying to gain money to buy food, or try to buy something expensive for Cleo. Others involved the cats fighting off strangers or intruders that dared try to take over their junkyard. And why were these guys called The Catillac Cats? They were cats that had a Cadillac car. But it didn't just drive around. It could morph into a kinds of things: A hovercraft, a trailer, a submarine, you name it. The Cadillac really was what made the show unique, and is what held a child's interest. Sure Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats were for kids, but I am 17 and I miss this show, particularly the Catillac Cats (I found the Heathcliff segments very boring), and I wish they were back on TV. Yes, they are on DVD now, and that's wonderful. But only a handful of episodes are on DVD, and it'd be more satisfying to see every episode released. That would make one of the world's greatest Christmas presents.

Toughest cat in Town, 19 January 2003
Author: mate_73 from New York

Heathcliff, you are one cat in a million. The late great Mel Blanc as the title role voice had me in hysterics every day afterschool at 3pm when Heathcliff would make his rounds and stake his claim in the neighborhood. Every episode you could expect Heathcliff was going to do something crazy, from beating up the Siamese twins, to getting revenge on the CatFather!! My favorite episode would have to be "The Kit Kat Club" Classic, except for that annoying Iggy. What's with the bowtie son? My all-time favorite cartoon.

Good show, 26 August 2008
9/10
Author: Grace Zeh (filmgirlgz@gmail.com) from Chantilly, Virginia, USA

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. When I think about it, I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a good show. However, the opening sequence and theme song are two things I remember very well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

Great show!, 4 March 2002
Author: mister_popo01 from Canada

I used to watch Heathcliff & co. on the local networks back in the mid 80's. What I didn't know at the time (and most people still don't know this) Is that DIC's version of Heathcliff was actually an anime! more precisely, it was a France/Japan co-production based on an american cartoon Icon. the Tokyo Movie Shinsha animated it, and many anime legends worked on this, such as Tetsuo Katayama & Shigeru Akagawa(Space Cobra, Lupin III), Shingo Araki(Saint Seiya, Versailles no Bara) and Michi Himeno (Amon Saga, Sukeban Deka). on the French side of the Production were Jean Chalopin, Bruno Bianchi, and Bernard Diyrese. The English dub was recorded in Canada with the late(but great) voice actor Mel Blanc playing the title role. The storyline was pretty stereotypical, but then again, weren't most cartoons of this genre? I recommend this series to the young, the young-at-heart, and collectors of Retro-anime.

Look Out, Garfield!, 7 August 2002
Author: (robocoptng986127@aol.com) from U.S.A

Look out, Garfield, there's another orange cat in town! Yes, Heathcliff, he enjoyed scaring off the milk man and endlessly tried to impress his girlfriend Sonja by picking fights with other neighborhood cats. I enjoyed watching this show when it was on. It was made by the same people who made Inspector Gadget, so you know it's good! Heathcliff lived with the Nutmeg family: Grandpa, Grandma and Iggy.

Grandpa despised Heathcliff, mostly because he got all the attention. And, like Garfield, this show had a second half. It featured another band of cats and was entitled: The Catillac Cats. Because they all hung out in a run down, beat up old Catillac, that transformed into a boat and a trailer. Like Inspector Gadget's car! The cats consisted of Riff Raff, the leader, now they tell me he was Heathcliff's rival but I've never seen the two of them in the same cartoon, except one time when Heathcliff was in a crowd, but while we're on the subject of Inspector Gadget, he has made appearences on this show! Like when the characters watch TV, he was once in a crowd! In fact, one of the cats dressed like him once! Inspector Hector! Hector was always the one who was full of himself, he felt better than everyone, but the truth was, he wasn't better than anyone. Next, there was Wordsworth, named after the poet because ever sentence he spoke contained rhymes.

Next was Mungo, as strong as he was dumb. He'd usually get his friends into trouble and quickly correct it, like the time he found a genie in a milk bottle. Finally, there was Cleo, Riff Raff's beautiful vuluptuous girlfriend. These guys would get into all kinds of trouble! Like when Wordsworth was diagnosed with Catatosis. They needed to find alligator hair to cure him. Or the Christmas episode when they all met. Most of their adventures included that Catillac they're so fond of. It hadn't any tires or an engine, yet still ran just fine! Mel Blanc, the Looney Tunes guy, did the voice of Heathcliff, and he has sadly died. So has Stan Jones, who voiced Riff Raff. He died about four years ago, but the talents of these two will live on forever in this, one of their great masterpieces! But in conclusion, this was a darn fine show. So was Inspector Gadget by the way! So if you can very possibly find either of them, I recommend them!
