- TriviaIn a 2009 interview with Lance Falk (Writer / Design Coordinator) he said that the way he heard about the reason behind the cancellation of "SWAT Kats" was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kids. When it got canceled, there was a paragraph from Turner in "Entertainment Weekly" (early 1995) entitled "Ted's Excellent Speaking Engagement" concerning cartoon violence: "We have more cartoons than anybody: 'The Flintstones', 'The Jetsons', 'The Smurfs', 'Scooby-Doo'. They're nonviolent. We don't have to worry that we're encouraging kids to kill each other--like SOME of the other cartoon programs do".
- GoofsWhen in civilian outfit, the titular cats have shoes. But when they are in their Swat uniforms, the cats are barefoot.
- Alternate versionsBefore the openings, there would be clips of the episode to air with Razor's voice saying "Today on Swat Kats..." In later years and on Cartoon Network, they stopped showing them.
Featured review
Swat Kats is one of the other best cartoon action shows ever! This show is about two cats named Chance Furlong (T-Bone) and Jake Clawson (Razor) who are auto-mechanics by day but when there is trouble in MegaKat City they are the Swat Kats who are a masked duo of heroes who defend MegaKat City from criminal master minds and monsters. The show is well-crafted, meticulously-animated children's science-fiction in faithful anime style, with well-rounded characters, ongoing story lines and rakes of humor. This is one of the best cartoons of the 90's made by the company of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons! I thought the show was just awesome! I thought all of the gadgets that the Swat Kats had were cool and I really liked their jet, The Turbokat. It is to bad that they canceled it because it got canceled in 1995 after 2 seasons and 23 episodes, the same year my other two favorite shows were canceled. My other two favorite shows that got canceled the same year as the SWAT Kats were Sonic the Hedgehog and Darkwing Duck. I thought all the SWAT Kats villains were pretty cool, my two favorite were Dark Kat and Dr. Viper! I thought The Pastmaster was cool looking but his plans for taking over MegaKat City is really stupid. One character I am also not very fond of is Commander Farrell. The reason why I don't like Commander Farrell is because he is always wanting to take all the credit and the glory from the SWAT Kats. But he can be okay sometimes. I wish that someday they would bring this show back on the air and make more new episodes!
