From Wiki (natch)- The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty (later called The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty) is an American animated and partially live-action television series, produced by Filmation, which originally aired for one season on Saturday mornings on NBC from September 6 to November 29, 1975.[1] Howard Morris, Jane Webb, and Allan Melvin provided voices for the three main characters on the series. The show follows a cat named Waldo who daydreams of being a superhero and defeating the villainous bulldog Tyrone. It was inspired by James Thurber's 1939 short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", and his widow Helen Thurber sued Filmation in 1975 for creating the series without the permission of her husband's estate. The outcome of the decision resulted in the series being retitled in future broadcasts as The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty.[2] Now back to me!
I have not seen this show in 50 years. I remember enjoying back then, and I was not close to the crazy cat person I am now. I like the cats, and the premise is a good idea, but the execution could have been better. The animation is pretty good, and so are the voice actors. It is funny that all the heroes Waldo becomes are Filmation- owned properties... and Robin Hood.
