- 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
Alas, I was about 9 years old when this show aired. So I was hardly ever allowed to watch it because it was a) too 'adult' in nature and b) way past my bedtime. So my memories of it are somewhat skimpy. But I vividly remember the way Loggia would introduce himself as 'T. Hewitt Edward Cat', and the way he would scale walls and make impossible leaps. He also seemed to play for keeps. He was sleek, dangerous, and cooler than hell. But he wasn't invincible - I remember shows where things went wrong and a client or friend would get hurt or killed, and Cat would be seriously angry or stressed or worried. That added to the suspense and believability considerably.
There was a later TV series with a similar theme, featuring Robert Wagner, 'It Takes A Thief'. Nothing against Wagner, but his show couldn't hold a candle to 'T.H.E. Cat', at least the way I remember it.
I too, would love to have a chance to see (or buy) some of those old episodes.
