Sorry, it was hard to think of ten combatants for each channel. It was either these two or Uncle Grandpa vs. Breadwinners. Anyway, I chose these two because both Catscratch and 'Gym Partner' were rather short-lived cartoons, but managed to generate small fan bases. Let's start off with Catscratch.
Catscratch was a Nicktoon about three noseless cats: Gordon, Waffle, and Mr. Blik. Gordon was a Scottish Manx who acted like the voice of reason, Waffle was a goofy tortoiseshell cat with a passion for newts, and Mr. Blik was a cruel Bombay cat that elected himself as leader. The three of them live in a wealthy mansion, with a human butler named Hovis, and the show would focus on the cats' wealthy lifestyles and action-packed, sometimes paranormal, experiences. While the show did get good reviews, it only ran for a year and half, maybe because it premiered four months after the critically acclaimed Nicktoon Avatar: The Last Airbender.
My Gym Partner's A Monkey was a Cartoon Network show about a 12-year-old boy named Adam Lyon, who has to attend Charles Darwin Middle School, filled with domesticated zoo animals as students and teachers, because his last name is 'Lyon'. The only true friend he has is a spider monkey named Jake. I know there are some people that liked this show when it was on, but I personally wasn't very fond of it. I felt like the animal characters treated Adam like elephant
. Is this how they treat chimpanzee students, who have the closest DNA to humans? Also, despite coming from zoos and aquariums, the animal characters act very wild, even though some of them could have been raised by humans.Which of these do I think is superior? I honestly have to go with Catscratch because I remember enjoying it more. See you tomorrow when I compare Nickelodeon's yellow absorbent cash-cow to Cartoon Network Studios' hungry Muppet-like chef: SpongeBob SquarePants vs. Chowder!
