Premiered 30 years ago today
I miss this show.
Loved this show as a kid, had both Razor and T-Bone toys. Callie was designed as way too attractive for a cartoon cat lol. Back when there was Boom Network, I watched it again after a decade and thought it held up fine for action cartoon.
one of my favorite shows. watched it again a few years ago, still holds up. have the dvds too and would’ve bough the soundtrack too, had they released it.
I really liked this show. It was so interesting and well played.
This is such a weird show to try to explain to people (I miss the insane 90’s concepts), but man my brother and I loved it
I have no idea why this is showing up on News for me but this show was so sick
I loved this show as a kid, just a few days ago me and some friends were talking about old cartoons and I brought this up. Nobody else remembered it. I couldn’t believe that. That intro just took me back.
I want someone to make a _good_ movie/sequel series
Damn, it’s only 8 in the morning and I won’t see anything more radical than that all day.
So many memories
Love how they had a F-14 just chillin in their garage
My favorite show growing up
They need to do a swat Kats movie that would be bomb
Loved this show .Loved the music too.
I had all the toys for street sharks
[Season 1 intro is even better!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty7GT2vgM1A)
I remember loving this show, but it must have been on opposite something I liked more, because I could almost never find it to watch regularly.
This into along with the 90’s X-men on fox just had you hyped.
Why do I need this in a live action adaptation starring David Harbour and Pedro Pascal?
I was obsessed with this show. I would draw them religiously daily. Man I’m getting old.
Is there a way to watch it today ?
Loved the show but does anyone else remember the SNES game? That shit was downright impossible back when I was a kid!
I sometimes wonder if there is a direct causal link between the number of millennials who are furries and the quantity of media from the 90s featuring anthropomorphic animals
I loved this as a little kid. Looking back, none of it makes any sense. A one plane squadron? Jet fuel on a budget? Where are they getting their resources? You simply can’t have a rag tag jet fighter…
Oh man I have a very vague memory of watching a cartoon involving cats flying a F-14 when I was a kid, but I never knew what show it was until now.
Thanks OP!
Miss this show so much.
Man I was completely fucking convinced that when I grew up and could drive, I was gonna own a pair of really cool leather fingerless gloves.
This show didn’t, specifically, cause that. But it absolutely contributed.
They managed to Kickstart Swat Kats Revolution, but they’re apparently having problems finding a network.
Anyone remember watching marathons of this (I think called “super chunk”) where you had to catch a letter in each ep for a secret code for… something????
Dude this show and gargoyles were the show I try to watch every time and 80s silver hawks. Then there was johny quest with the virtual world damn brings back memory
Damn, I LOVED THIS SHOW along with The Pirates of Dark Water
I just realized how often these guys were fighting wizards with a damn jet.
My inner DM must have shut this memory away.
Sweet fuck on a chocolate chip waffle, I loved this show.
One of my favorite 90s cartoons, full stop. *nostalgic sigh*
You didn’t really need to add “(1993)” to the title. This is the most 1993 thing I’ve ever seen.
It’s amazing how many problems in that city could only be solved by having a pair of vigilantes with a fighter jet.
Wow, this was purged from my memory until now. Great times back then.
This was one of those shows I adored watching as a kid, but which always gave me nightmares. The animation style was always a little off-putting to me, especially when every episode seemed to involve mutants, toxic chemicals, etc.
Heavily modified 3-engined F-14 Tomcat was the coolest thing ever to little me back then. Right off the heels of the Gulf War, military planes were all the rage.
My memory may be failing me, but the process of them marshalling for the alert reminds me of a similar portion of “Force Five: Grandizer” (English release subset of original Japanese released “UFO Robot Grendizer”). The main character (Orion Quest?) would don his “action” apparel and launch his ship in a similar fashion.
I thought this show was so unbelievably hardcore when I was growing up. And you know what?
it is.
