catdog is not very good. there are some creative ideas and artwork but it's really weighed down by how repetitive and boring the character interactions are, and the writing is lazy about twice as often as it's creative or fun

i have a phd in old nickelodeon cartoons. a few years ago i went looking for mission hill episodes and ended up in a little niche groupwatch streaming site that played a mix of basically every tv show and commercial from the 90s. spent a 6 month tour of duty with that running on a second monitor among what was probably 90% adult babies and shut-ins

do NOT say that i am also an adult baby or i will tip over my juice cup

I remember liking it somewhat when I was like 6. I was also simultaneously kind of put off by the crusty vibe of the show, especially first thing in the morning.

Wasn't it literally the devil?

Thinking about it, there was a lot of cartoons that made Satan a character. I think Powerpuff Girls did it pretty cool with Him. Robot Devil in futurama is fun too

I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm a fan but I never hated it as much as everyone else seemed to. I will say everyone hating CatDog the show is pretty meta because within the show everyone seemed to hate CatDog the being. It's sort of a 90s We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

You don't know that. One time in kindergarten this one kid barfed and it looked and smelled like poo poo. I imagine it would be the same process.

the creator/showrunner sounds like a very normal and well adjusted person who definitely didn't write his own IMDB bio

quote:

He also wrote and illustrated stories for the anthologies Speak! Children's Illustrators Brag About Their Dogs and Purr! Children's Illustrators Brag About Their Cats. He is currently working on series of middle-grade illustrated chapter books which feature a staggering team of super-avenging nincompoops. He really wants this to be a runaway best-selling series because he feels that sitting on the beach, or perhaps in the woods, scribbling funny words and silly pictures while sipping refreshing beverages would be a very civilized way to live. He is also writing and illustrating several picture books and working on a book intended for adults. He has written and illustrated a number of amusing newspaper and magazine pieces with titles like The Incredible Shrinking Christmas, Death of Yuppie, Mike Royko Moves to the Suburbs, and The Good, the Bad, and the Irish.

It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges

Rocko's Modern Life creator Joe Murray from his 2010 book "Creating Animated Cartoons with Character" posted:

After their animation production arm "Games Animation" merged with my studio to produce Rocko's Modern Life, they solidified into Nicktoons Studio and put out Hey Arnold by Craig Bartlett and another show that was a bit of an experiment, called CatDog by Peter Hannan.

There were two reasons why CatDog was experimental. First, as far as I know, all the creator-driven cartoons up to this point had been crafted by an artist/writer with animation experience. Peter Hannan had some beautiful and funny illustrated books to his credit, but when Nickelodeon picked up CatDog, the Nicktoon Cartoon Factory merely placed Hannan, the outside creator, at the helm of the talented animation team they had already established. This move began to expand the pool for bringing in creators. The second part of the CatDog experiment, in my opinion, failed. By that time, Nickelodeon had begun “stripping” the shows that had been in production since the early ’90s. “Stripping” means to run a different episode every day of the week (rather than once a week, which is the norm when a show is in production). This is possible when you have a good amount of episodes in the can, like 52 or 60. It also makes a good syndication block. So what did the powers at Nickelodeon decide was a good experiment? To start the show out by stripping; in other words, to create as many episodes as possible as quickly as possible and start out airing a new one every day of the week. Then it could move into syndication more quickly, which is a big moneymaker for Viacom. I know a lot of the artists who were on that team, and I think they are still scraping their brains off of the floor from that experience.

When former Rocko’s Modern Life director Steve Hillenburg produced his pilot of a little yellow sponge named SpongeBob, he had seen the CatDog experiment at work and decided to convince Nickelodeon to slow down the pace of production.
