The Bottom Line: "Personal favorite"
Best show in my childhood and possibly life! ...Continue »
Swat Kat's was AMAZING! Nothing better at the time and I am hard pressed to find anything better now. The animations for this show were better than anything at the time. This is the only western cartoon that I really love, japan comes out with some good stuff but nothing can even come close. I never played the video game but looking at some videos it's a shame it was awful. I have so many memories of watching this in primary school. Watching it on boomerang and other places now gives me goose bumps. A remake or revival would be a dream come true!

The Bottom Line: "Bring it back!"
This show is far and away the best show HB /EVER/ made. It's better than ANYTHING that came before or after. The only thing that came CLOSE for CN was Teen Titans, and they cancelled that as well! ...Continue »
I can't believe that they were stupid enough to cancel this, really. They need to bring it back. I may just write a new summary myself soon to capture the real nature of the show. Too many people have never heard of it or of how cool it is. We need to be getting the word out and getting this show back to the air. They could have an assured high performer if they could get it back on and put out a video game with flight sim, Motorcycle, and ground combat. The show is perfect for such a format, it's always 'in your face' and bursting at the seams with the action. A return of it needs to /stay/ that way. They didn't market the toys well enough. This show was a top rated syndicated show when it aired, and they STILL axed it like nincompoops.

The popular Hanna-Barbera action show is about two vigilantie kats named Jake Clawson/Razor and Chance Furlong/T-Bone who protect the fictional Megakat City from evil. I watched this as a kid but I barley remembered it until a miracle put it on Boomerang and now I know every episode by heart. The characters were good and the plot was even greater and a good example of modern action. After seeing it again Swat Kats became my favorite action cartoon and reminded me of good moments in my childhood. So for those who love action, vigilantie kats, or both this is definstly the show for you.

Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron is about two cat-like hotshot pilots who decide to fight crime as two hi-tech viligantes known as the Swat Kats. ...Continue »
Swat Kats is a personal favorite of mine. I remember fondly of watching the show when I was still a kid. The show was amazing, and still is. The show does have some flaws (one of which was that it didn't last long enough). Swat Kats was extremely well-written, however, the show did have a tendency to use the same villains repeatedly, which did get old eventually. The show mixed villains with technology and mutants, as well as magical villains. I still enjoy watching the show. I highly recommend this show for anyone who loves high-flying heroic pilots, you'll won't regret it!

swat kats, one of the best shows that I saw when I was young, but now Cartoon Network is flying down... the new shows are boring and nasty, like: kids next door, hi hi puffy amy yumi, squirrel boy, lazlo camp, etc. But what we can do? I dont understand why cartoon network always is cancel good programs, like MEGAS XLR. I hope this year Cartoon Network show new programs, a third seasons of swat cats should be a great idea, but who knows. if they dont do nothing, I stop watching tv. but I really want to see the old good programs
