Info

The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty was a children's television show alternating animation and live footage segments. It took the concept of James Thurber's popular short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and parodied it with anthropomorphised dogs and cats. The show did not last long; it ran into trouble with the estate of James Thurber as it was not authorized by them. It did reappear on the Groovie Goolies show under the title The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty

The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
nermalstanley-255-758383 This is a show I do not remember when I was young. Actually the show came out the year after I graduated high school and at that time I did not watch Saturday morning programs.This show is on KTV every night at 7:00 pm without the commercials. I really enjoy the live action sequences. Having had cats all my life, I root for Waldo and Felicia and their friends Sparrow and Pronto. I have never seen cats be friends with birds and rabbits.The animated sequences are not up to the live-action parts. But I must remember the show was for children not adults. I guess these jokes are to appeal to the adults who may be watching.Still the live action sequences are very good, especially when Waldo gets the best of Tyrone the bull dog.Remember the show is on KTV every night at 7:00 p.m. Tune in and form your own opinion.
snojohn Like some others above, this cartoon was a little slice of my childhood I think about once in a while. I remember the year it came out (I was 11 years old) and I was a cat lover and I mostly watched it because I liked the cats, and deep down I thought the execution of the cartoon part was pretty cheesy though I liked the overall story line. The next season when I did not see it listed in TV guide I was very disappointed, but I had a feeling it was not going to be renewed.Anyway, 35 years later I still remember the lyrics of the song:I am Waldo Kitty, a meek and mild kind of catAnd I'm a daring hero, and I like being thatWhen I see a friend in needI want to be a friend indeedI just pretend and - suddenlyI'm anyone I want to be - a courageous kind of cat!Then there was an instrumental interlude. I forget if there was a second verse or not, but I suspect there wasn't because if there was I probably would have remembered at least some of it.
PsyDtoBe My mother swore to me that I didn't imagine this show. I remember him getting shut in the garage when he got in trouble for something the dog did. Then he'd imagine he could fight back and he was a starship captain or Catzan or Catman! Felicia was his girlfriend and I think I remember the theme song. Something about "He's Waldo Kitty, a meek and mild kind of cat, but I'm a daring hero, and I like being that."It was clever and very memorable. If it can stick in your head from 6 to 36, that's pretty well done. I recommend voting for it on tvshowsondvd.comI'd love to have this for my kids.
Moondog-6 This series is a lost slice of my youth. It's been so long since I've seen it, I thought only my sister and I were the only people in the world who HAVE seen it. As a kid, I never missed 'Waldo Kitty' - in fact up until now I had no idea there were only 13 episodes. For the many who never saw it each episode started out in live-action, usually with our hero cat being put into a seemingly inescapable situation by the local dog. He would then imaging (via voice-over) that he was a hero of some sort who would easily deal with his situation. It would then go into a cartoon where Waldo was that imagined character. I remember bits and pieces of the shows, but one stands out. It was a clever 'Star Trek' parody. To this day I still smile when I recall the 'Tunnel Of Glove' sequence! It's a shame there are so few episodes - this makes it unlikely that it will ever be issued on video, and less likely it will be rerun. But it will always hold a place in my heart! Long live Waldo Kitty!
