In the tradition of great screen conmen-one of the few with a visible tail - TOP CAT holds a top spot in the hearts of classic animation fans
The second of Hanna-Barbera?s prime-time network animated sitcoms, TOP CAT debuted on ABC television on Wednesday September 27, 1961. The series only ran for one season in prime-time, but continued to be popular through a mix of continued Saturday morning network reruns and syndication for more than three decades thereafter. Arnold Stang provided the voice of the smooth-talking New York City cat, known as T.C. to his gang of cohorts Benny the Ball, Choo Choo, Spook, The Brain and Fancy Fancy. These cats were always on the make toward a big score or swindle. And the bothersome - and ever exasperated - Office Dibble (voiced by legendary character actor Allen Jenkins) is relentlessly on Top Cat's case (although always one step behind)
This 4-disc Blu-ray set contains all 30 original episodes, newly remastered in 1080p HD from 4K scans off the original camera negatives, with the series offering top-shelf entertainment for fans.
More than 60 years after it debuted, TOP CAT continues to be a comic delight of animated fun for audiences of all ages"
