TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

retiredrichardsandberg Your list of characters fails to mention "Brain". He was one of the core six cats. Also voiced by Leo Delyon. Loved the series when I was a kid. Absolutely one of the best cartoons ever on TV. Looked forward to watching it every week. Own the entire series on DVD. Why isn't Brain listed with the rest of the characters on your site. He was really cool!!!

q_leo_rahman This show will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first cartoon, as well as the first Hanna-Barbara cartoon I ever saw. The studio pioneered limited animation and the use of plot/wit to create some truly wonderful cartoons – Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Dick Dastardly, and Scooby-Doo. Top Cat is a little overshadowed by these icons, but can never be underestimated. In 1960s New York, Top Cat leads a gang of alley cats as they pursue the dream of wealth and the good life, through whatever means they can (illegal, but not lethal – they're decent people and it's a kids' show). Hampering them is the strict by-the-lawbook constable Charlie Dibble, who is always on the prowl for any shenanigans afoot, especially from his nemesis Top Cat. However, though the two annoy and harass each other constantly, they are just as much best friends; TC would rather have Officer Dibble than any other constable, and Dibble often has to deal with criminals that are worse than a flimflam feline (usually with the said feline's help).The show is notable for showcasing a hero who acts distinctly anti- heroic, even more so than the picnic-pilfering Yogi Bear; TC cheats, fast-talks and uses almost everyone around him to get what he wants (and when he wants it, as part of a larger scheme), but he possesses such charisma and wit (and a rarely-seen good heart) that you end up rooting for him anyway. And the show strikes a balance between success and failure for TC – one episode had him con Dibble and then have Dibble learn the con and throw TC into a garbage truck (For the most part TC's schemes fail, but only due to a plot twist or to maintain the status quo for the show rather than from any morality).Against him almost all the other supporting characters pale into near- insignificance. All the members of TC's gang are one-note characters, with the exception of Benny the Ball, an innocent tyke who is T.C.'s best friend and conscience, and Choo-Choo, an educated Siamese cat with a romantic heart. Giving the best contrast with TC though is Officer Dibble, who is both rigidly duty-bound to the law and a caring pal to the gang. The dynamic between the two is sparky and sweet, filled with hilarious insults and heartwarming moments. I recommend this show to everyone. Not just because it's one of my favourites, but because it's well-written, done by Hanna-Barbara in the best years of their career, and features a truly wonderful and unique cop-robber duo. He's the most tip-top, Top Cat!

Jackson Booth-Millard When I was younger and occasionally today I think Top Cat is quite a good cartoon from the creators of Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry, Hanna-Barbera. Top Cat is the cat who leads a gang of street cats who hang out in the alley way and mos of the time try to get food or money. The gang members that are remembered are Benny the Ball (the most helpful), Choo Choo (the enthusiastic) and Brain (the dim one). The only thing stopping Top Cat and the gang from getting their money or food is Officer Dibble patrolling the alley way, and answering his alley phone. Sometimes some good gags were Top Cat using this phone without permission. This cartoon also had a very good theme tune. It was number 28 on The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows, and it was number 64 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!

Big Movie Fan We all love Top Cat. If you didn't like Top Cat then you must be either a zombie or a robot.In the show, Top Cat lived in a dustbin and along with his friends caused trouble for Police Officer Dibble. One thing T.C. did frequently was using the police telephone for his own calls. T.C. generally was always looking for ways to make money and mischief, the two things generally going hand in hand.Top Cat kind of reminds me of my childhood many many years ago. I was a good child and I tended to hang around on the streets kicking balls around and trying to figure out games we could play with a stick and a tin can. There were also the constant trips to the shop to waste pocket money on cans of pop and sweets. I was never a naughty child but there always seemed to be miserable adults (of which I am now one) around trying to spoil the fun. I didn't have my own Officer Dibbles but I do remember one elderly guy who seemed to hate kids having any kind of fun.That must be why I liked watching Top Cat as a child-because really I was looking at me and my friends in the mirror. But isn't hanging round on street corners with your friends something that kids having been doing since time began?All in all, Top Cat was my hero and I urge you to check him out if he comes on your screen.
