Catscratch | comment |
A loose lighthearted adaption of Doug TenNapel's Gear, Catscratch was a Nicktoon made in 2005 that only lasted for a season. That season was stretched out over two years, and it then got a short run on Nicktoons Network before being cancelled again. Since then, it's lain forgotten among the other castaway shows of Nickelodeon.Old Mrs. Cramdilly had three cats, all from the same mother, whom she loved very much. So, when she died, she gave them her house, her fortune, and her butler, Hovis. Now, they spend their days hanging out in their awesome house, drinking root beer, and facing off against anything from the vastness of space to a zombie horde to those jerks next door.The three cats are best described as thus: Mr. Blik: The de facto leader. Greedy, self-serving, and envious. Basically, Ted Baxter in cat form. Gordon Quid: An inexplicably Scottish cat, who has a huge crush on Human Kimberly, the girl next door with a unicorn obsession. Waffle: A goofy cat who's fascinated by everything. And we mean everything. Though his favorite things would be the word Splee and his pet newts, lead by Gomez. | |

Mistaken for Own Murderer | |
Catscratch / int_128e7526 | comment |
Mistaken for Own Murderer: In "Lovesick," Gordon's allergy to broccoli causes him to swell up and resemble a monster in a movie the cats were watching earlier. When he grabs the broccoli in the elevator and swells up again, Mr. Blik and Waffle mistakenly assume the monster ate Gordon. When Gordon tries to show them that it's really him in the weapons cave by letting go of the broccoli, they then assume that the monster has taken over Gordon and refuse to believe it's him and trap him in an electric net until Human Kimberly comes in to explain that she gave him broccoli, not knowing about his allergies. | |

Tamer and Chaster | |
Catscratch / int_146e133b | comment |
Tamer and Chaster: The show's origins are rooted in being an extremely loose adaptation of TenNapel's comic Gear. The original comic contained graphic violence, swearing and strong religious overtones. In the original comic, the main characters were more "adult" in personality as well: Gordon was an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight, Waffle had suicidal impulses due to knowing he was The Load to his brothers and Mr. Black was the Only Sane Man of the Newton Cats. The show was drastically changed when it was adapted to the world of cartoons, with the characters and setting changing for comedic potential. | |

Always Someone Better: Blik is often upstaged by Sixth Ranger Katilda, who moves into the neighborhood later in the show. She's as good a leader as him, slightly more conniving, and has a much better (and saner) attitude toward things in general. | |

Planetary Core Manipulation | |
Catscratch / int_1f6f887 | comment |
Planetary Core Manipulation: In "Core-uption", Gordon feels sorry for Human Kimberly when she gets an "F" on her science project, a diorama which says that the Earth's core is made from unicorns and rainbows and the like. He decides to make the core just as she thinks it is by drilling to the center of the Earth and sticking the diorama into it, which turns the world into a Sugar Bowl. | |

Balloon Belly: In the "King of All Root Beer" episode, Mr. Blik is set to be in a parade to celebrate becoming the King of Root Beer. However, rather than have him ride on the float, they instead fill him up with carbonation so that he's actually a parade float himself. Waffle also inflates himself so he can fight Mr. Blik, who stole the title from him. | |

This Is My Side: One episode has the house split up between the cats; Mr. Blik taking the yard, Gordon taking the kitchen and Waffle taking the restroom. Eventually, Gordon needed to use to the restroom, Waffle wanted his newts to play outside, and Mr. Blik got hungry, so they crossed into each other's sides, resulting in a full-blown war for control of the whole mansion. | |

Deus ex Machina: Double subverted in the pilot. By an absurd series of events, Blik ends up at the barbecue with a plate of nicely baked ribs in time for them to be judged. But, they were cooked in rocket flames so they taste like rocket fuel. But, Blik still 'won' the "Worst Ribs Ever" ribbon, so it all ends happily | |

Catscratch / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Out of all three of the cats, Mr. Blik is put through hell the most and is the butt of the most jokes and misfortunes. Not to mention, the slapstick he endures is much more extreme than what Gordon and Waffle get. Needless to say, he deserves it due to his Jerkass tendencies, and given that he's a black cat, this isn't surprising. | |

But, then they realize that Blik, being the bossy de facto leader, was the only one who knew how to do important things like use the remote or use the telephone. Or sign Hovis' paychecks. | |

Brick Joke: A particularly well-done example. In the pilot, Gordon tries to convince Blik to not enter a barbecue contest by telling him an old Scottish tale that involves the Duke Irk Splee trading his heart to a seal woman for moon rocks to make perfect barbecue ribs (and it gets even sillier). Waffle's interpretation of the Aesop is to never trust a seal woman. in the 14th episode, Gordon turns the attacking Banshee to stone using a falsetto voice (look, just roll with it), and the Banshee statue cracks open to reveal ...a seal woman. | |
