Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite being cancelled after one series due to so-so ratings. The series was still sold to Australia, Hong Kong, France, The Netherlands and the UK. In the UK it was shown on Thursday nights by some ITV broadcasters around the 11pm slot in 1969 but has not seen shown since - presumably because all the broadcast prints were returned to Paramount where they were eventually destroyed (see above).
- Quotes
Narrator: [In the promotional piece about the show] Out of the night comes a man who saves lives at the risk of his own. Once a circus performer, an aerialist who refused the net. Once a cat burglar, a master among jewel thieves. And now, a professional bodyguard. Primitive, savage, in love with danger. The Cat.
Featured review
T.H.E. Cat - cool, cool kitty
I remember this series when I was a child. It had a cool opening. Also as I recall, a theme by Dave Grusin, which I've never seen included in any compilation of his musical works. IMDb, however, credits Lalo Schifrin, which I don't remember. (May be because it hit the scene about the same time as "The Name of the Game.") This series predated Robert Wagner's series "It Takes A Thief." I always thought T.H.E. Cat was by far the cooler. It was more working class than "Thief." Rather than the quasi spy genre set up of "Thief," "Cat" was blue collar (excuse the allusion to pet collars), and Cat had a gypsy blood brother. Contrary to what I've seen otherwise, seem to remember the initials standing for Thomas Huard (not Hewitt) Edward Cat. This series did not last long and wish they'd rerun it somewhere or make it available on VHS or DVD. Definitely one of the more interesting, though obscure shows to come out of the 60's.
