You Dirty Rats

From the few episodes I saw, no, they had new scripts. I remember one was Waldo dreaming of being a Tarzan-like character, saving a female kitty from a bullying bulldog. Of course, the dream sequences were animated, so it wasn't like Wishbone, another 80s T.V. kiddy show. And I read Thurber's "Unicorn in the Garden", "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and "The Dog That Bit People."

I liked Underdog when I was just a kidney.
Feet of lightning. Roar of thunder, fighting all who rob or plunder.

Yeah. Waldo kitty had like five standard shows.

These characters consisted of a variety of characters which spoofed various characters from pop-culture. Cat-Man and Sparrow were an obvious lampooning of Batman and Robin, as was Catzan of the Apes, spoofing Tarzan. Also spoofed was Robin Hood, where the feline was that hero of English yore, Robin Cat. Also parodied were The Lone Ranger ("The Lone Kitty") and Star Trek ("Cat Trek", with Captain Herc of the starship "Second-Prise"). (As it happens, Filmation had done or would eventually do straight adaptations of all of these properties except Robin Hood.) A running gag of this series was the arch-villain's response to Waldo's character: "Seize him!" "We sees him, we sees him. What of it?"
