    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Due to the success of the show and the nostalgia for the characters in other countries, there's a recent movie made in Mexico trying to recover the essence of the original show.
    • Goofs
      In the opening title song "Top Cat" (seen in every episode) the waiter should be shown in front of the lunch box on the table. His torso is behind the box until Top Cat jumps up and runs for the taxi. At that point the waiter "pops" fully in front of the lunch box. This was related by Arnold Stang on the DVD commentary and he was very annoyed (even years later!) that the studio would let such an error occur every week.
    • Quotes
      • Professor Zimbach: [admiring a contemporary painting] This man has artistic temperament, like Van Gogh. You know, the painter who cut off his ear and sent it to his girlfriend.
      • Top Cat: Oh, yeah, to ask her why he hadn't heard from her.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits feature Top Cat entering a high-class restaurant to have lunch... which he picks from a construction worker working across the restaurant. He escapes from the maitre'd and the worker into a taxi and gets away (originally the series title appears on a blind TC pulls down in the taxi - later versions feature the title as TC gets into the taxi).
    • Alternate versions
      In Mexico's Spanish dubbed version the name of characters was changed to:
      • Don Gato (Top Cat)
      • Benito B. Bodoque y B. (Benny the Ball)
      • Panza (Fancy-Fancy)
      • Demóstenes (The Brain)
      • Cucho (Choo-Choo)
      • Espanto (Spook)
      • Agente Carlitos Matute (Officer Dibble)
      • Also the voice of Benito B. Bodoque y B. sound like a child and every cat had an accent in voice of some different Mexican regions.
