Oggy and the Cockroaches

This show is simply amazing.Real fun every time I see this blue cat get his butt kicked by these nasty cockroaches.Surely a rip off of good all warner bros cartoons but a freaking nice rip off!! The plot is as simple as that.You can see the daily adventures of Oggy,the blue cat who loves comfort and most of all his house.He lives with his supposed cousin jack, a green cat.There's also a nasty dog as neighbour and of course those 3 insects.

Graphically,the show is really nice to watch,with fresh and eye catching colors coupled with some nice CGI images.Fast paced and hilarious,the show lacks dialogues but compensate with funny sounds and most of all of a ground breaking intro.If you want to relax and have a good time,just watch this show where the cat is not always the looser!!!

To me "Oggy" is the best thing that happened since "Tom and Jerry" (the old ones).

German TV is now showing "Oggy" at the children's hour, which to me is quite strange as I think the often cruel, violent as well as anarchistic and also surrealistic humour is not exactly child-conform. To really enjoy the show you should accept its sheer nonsense world where natural laws no longer exert their power and everything is possible.

You should also love the extremely kitsch coloured conformistic suburban dwelling of Oggy and his fellows with its highly imaginative wall-papers and pictures on the walls. And hospitals with super-sized syringes on their roofs serving as "guide-signs" and never ending staircases and a tour into outer space every now and then and and and... ....maybe it's no mistake either to like a certain New York based punk-band with DeeDee and Joey being two of the cockroaches.

I am of course very fond of Oggy and his antagonists, they are so human. Another thing I enjoy is that the whole of them are so malicious and still, from time to time, every one of them gets his.

So my hope is that this show will run on for ever.

it was a cold, hungover Sunday morning after a heavy night of drinking out on the town when laying in the couch, i switched onto Swedish kanal 5 - and, oggy was on the TV. i had a headache, i've always loved cartoons and best of all - there was no language, just sound effects and expressions. instantly, i was hooked.

so hooked, i've been collecting episodes :) it was impossible to find a complete episode list, but - i managed to build one, from German episode lists and collecting items along the way - with the release of the DVD, it cleared up a few unknowns :) now, i proudly show my oggy collection on my website...

to date, i have all 156 episodes; however, i still seek two with English titles and non German dubbed audio - my quest goes on! there has been a release on DVD, however, it is only the first 60 episodes; those DVD's sit nicely in my cupboard. classic cartoons.

It's truly a cartoon masterpiece. I've never been fond of Tom and Jerry, but this is somehow completely different even though it features many similar things. I just can't get enough of it.

I normally never watch children's programmes, but whenever I see that "Oggy" is on, I always take the time to watch it. To me it doesn't seem like a cartoon for children, it is very adult like. With it's strange futuristic buildings, and weird animals it is quite political. And of course it is great fun.
