I have some of the fondest memories of watching Top Cat when I was living in Mexico, but owning this set is one of the best investments I have made to share with my daughters a little bit of what entertainment used to be.
Though I could hear the original English soundband, the outstanding cast of voices in Spanish makes it even more delightful to watch. The translation is superb and the jokes do not lose a single bit.
Catching up on my youth
Top Cat didn't get the same syndication action like the Flintstones or Jetsons in my area. I only saw it maybe twice while visiting Boston - and they only showed it on a Sunday morning. So this cartoon wasn't a big part of my childhood. But I bought the DVD set anyway since the price was right.
And I'm quite entertained by the show. Top Cat is a Manhattan feline version of Sgt. Bilko. His crew of cats are amazing.
There's a bunch of nice bonus stuff - including interviews with the voice actors that are still alive. Plus a couple Kelloggs ads - remember when a show's characters could push a product?
I do wish I could have seen this show as a 7 year old. But I'm enjoying it at my advanced age.
Top Cat - The Entire Series
Loved it. I wish they had made more. Looking for the movie that was done also.
I could hardly wait to add The Flintstones season 2 to my dvd collection!!! I just adored the episode of Alvin Brickrock, which is a pretty funny parody of Alfred Hitchcock, "Good Evening"! I could'nt help watching the episode when Fred became a bus driver over and over. The scene when he picks up the kids and meets their crazy parents is too funny!
My only complaint is the lack of decent extras. Eventhough all the original actors are no longer living, it would have been nice for Warner Bros. to include a tribute remembering Alan Reed,Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderette, and Jean Vanderpyl. Fortunately I was able to do a major search on the internet for biographies on each actor and see what they all looked like. Oh well I suppose it's more important for Warner Bros. to make a fast buck than... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 07 December 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Mix The Great Race with the slapstick humor of Road Runner cartoons and the wildly inventive minds of Hanna-Barbera, and you've got the 1968 animated series Wacky Races. You remember the lineup: the Slag brothers in the Boulder-Mobile; the Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe, with a dragon in its belfry; Prof. Pat Pending (ha ha) in the Convert-a-Car; Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer biplane; Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly in the tank-like Army Surplus Special; the Ant Hill Mob in the Bullitt-Proof Bomb; Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chugga-Bug; Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth the beaver in the Buzz Wagon; the Belle of the Brickyard, Penelope Pitstop, in the Compact Pussycat; Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific; and our hissable villains, Dick Dastardly...

The Jetsons (1962) was the third primetime series from the Hanna-Barbera Studio, after The Flintstones (1960) and Top Cat (1961). Although the show was cancelled after its first season, it proved a durable Saturday-morning favorite, running for more than 14 years on all three networks.
Like The Flintstones, The Jetsons borrowed heavily from live-action sitcoms, notably The Donna Reed Show and Hazel. The 21st century became a Futurelux vision of a '60s suburb. George Jetson (voiced by George O'Hanlon) pushed buttons for the penny-pinching Mr. Spacely (Mel Blanc). Judy (Janet Waldo) was a typical teenager with a crush on rock & roll singer Jet Screamer. Elroy (Daws Butler) was a bright little boy whose experiments always blew up. Astro... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 11 May 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Meet The Flintstones in this prehistoric Hanna-Barbera production. Primetime's first animated series was also the longest running until The Simpsons came along. Not so coincidentally, the two shows aren't all that different--even if the former emerged in the sixties, the latter in the eighties. Fred (Alan Reed), patriarch of the cave-dwelling clan, may be marginally more intelligent than the similarly blue collar Homer, but most storylines still revolve around his more dunderheaded moves. Fortunately, wife Wilma (Jean Vander Pyl) and Barney (Mel Blanc) and Betty Rubble (Bea Benaderet), their neighbors, are usually able to set things right. That was also true for Ralph Cramden of The Honeymooners, a direct influence (Reed even sounds like Jackie Gleason).... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Charles A.
