History

Another cartoon from the stable of Hanna-Barbera. It only ran for 1 series in 1961, consisting of 30 episodes.

If you watch Top Cat, you would be able to make comparisons with another show - The Phil Silvers Show, which it was based on. Top Cat is definitely the Sergeant Bilko Character and the other cats are the equivalent to Bilko's Platoon. Benny the Ball was even voiced by the same guy who played Private Doberman!

 

In the UK, Top Cat was renamed Boss Cat. This was because there was a cat food in the UK called Top Cat. The title of the show was changed, but in the show they still referred to him as TC & even the shows theme tune wasn't changed.

The Characters were voiced by - See Cast.

Top Cat later turned up in the series - Yogi's Treasure Hunt.

 

 

Story

Top Cat is an alley cat (also known as TC), who actually lives in a trashcan in an alley in New York (Hoagy's Alley). He is the leader of a gang of cats - Benny (the Ball), Brain, Choo Choo, Fancy Fancy and Spook.

He is always trying to invent schemes to earn lots of money and sends the gang out across the city to help him. But there is one person that's got wise to Top Cat's plans and that's Officer Dibble, the local policeman.

 

Dibble tries his hardest to stop TC and gets really mad when he finds out TC has been using the police telephone to conduct his business.
