- TriviaIn a 2009 interview with Lance Falk (Writer / Design Coordinator) he said that the way he heard about the reason behind the cancellation of "SWAT Kats" was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kids. When it got canceled, there was a paragraph from Turner in "Entertainment Weekly" (early 1995) entitled "Ted's Excellent Speaking Engagement" concerning cartoon violence: "We have more cartoons than anybody: 'The Flintstones', 'The Jetsons', 'The Smurfs', 'Scooby-Doo'. They're nonviolent. We don't have to worry that we're encouraging kids to kill each other--like SOME of the other cartoon programs do".
- GoofsWhen in civilian outfit, the titular cats have shoes. But when they are in their Swat uniforms, the cats are barefoot.
- Alternate versionsBefore the openings, there would be clips of the episode to air with Razor's voice saying "Today on Swat Kats..." In later years and on Cartoon Network, they stopped showing them.
Featured review
What an INCREDIBLE show!
Too bad only 2 seasons of episodes were made and it was taken off the air for unknown reasons. I guess some people thought it was a little too mature for the audience of cartoon network.
I remember when I was 15 or so I used to watch the Swat Kats TWICE a day, EVERY day (that's as often as the episodes were shown). I loved it and I was addicted to it! My heart was broken when I found out they're taking it off.
The animation, music, character voices were done incredibly well. The plot was ever - entertaining and written very carefully. It was always solid, never tedious or silly or annoying.
Simply put, it was just a pleasure to watch the Swat Kats - from the beginning scene - the awesome episode opener with the incredible background music - to the very end of every episode with the swat kats kicking tail and saving megakat city.
I loved everything in it - the cool gadgets, the turbokat (swat kats' airplane), the characters...
Well this is getting a bit too long.
Just go and see it if you can find it somewhere!
