TOP CAT – THE COMPLETE SERIES (ABC 1961-1962) Arnold Stang, Marvin Kaplan, Maurice Gosfield, Leo De Lyon, John Stephenson, Allen Jenkins
From the legendary Hanna-Barbera studios comes one of television’s most beloved classic cartoons — Top Cat!
Set in Hoagy's Alley, Top Cat—or “T.C.” to his lovable gang of alley cats: Benny the Ball, Choo-Choo, Fancy-Fancy, Spook, and Brain—is always on the lookout for the next big opportunity. Whether they’re running schemes, dodging trouble, or trying to con their way into the high life, these streetwise felines always manage to stay one step ahead of the ever-watchful Officer Dibble… and somehow, always land on their feet!
Originally airing for one season in 1961-62, Top Cat was created as a parody of The Phil Silvers Show (1955–59), a successful military comedy whose lead character (Sergeant Bilko, played by Silvers) was a fast-talking con artist.
Top Cat is packed with sharp humor, jazzy tunes, and memorable characters that have delighted generations of fans. This animated gem features standout voice performances from Arnold Stang as the smooth-talking Top Cat, Marvin Kaplan as the anxious Choo-Choo, Maurice Gosfield as sweet-natured Benny the Ball, Leo De Lyon as both Spook and Brain, John Stephenson as suave Fancy-Fancy, and Allen Jenkins as the perpetually flustered Officer Dibble.
Created by the iconic Hanna-Barbera team—also responsible for The Flintstones and The Jetsons—this delightful 6-disc collection includes all 30 classic episodes, brilliantly restored for a new generation of viewers and devoted T.C. fans alike. It’s a purr-fectly entertaining set full of timeless feline fun!
