LALALA LALALALA Catscratch,,,

A fantastic new cartoon as only Nickelodean Studios could produce. The theme music used in this series reminds me very much of 2 Stupid Dogs. It stars three cats, Mr. Blick, Waffle, and Gordon. They inherited a large fortune from their owners, and they now live in a large mansion with their butler Hovis. Each episode has them going through great lengths to obtain root beer, or to gain the friendship of a girl named Kimberly, who Gordon is in love with.

I fell in love with this show when I first saw it. One of my favorite things about it is the voice actors. They really went for the cream of the crop when they chose voice actors. You may recognize them from the dozens of other movies and TV shows that they have done voices for.

Singing newts, root beer, and classic cartoon humor. In a time when some studios are doing bad imitations of Japanese animation, it's nice to see studios such as Nickelodean are still kicking out the good stuff.
