Synopsis of Saturday Morning Show

In an effort to satirize his own creation, Batman creator Bob Kane developed this cartoon featuring a crime fighting cat and mouse. Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse protected the citizens of Empire City from a multitude of villains, including arch-nemesis Chauncey "Flat-Face" Frog, an amphibian gangster who sounded like Edward G. Robinson. In order to defeat the miscreants, Courageous Cat would employ his Catgun, an engineering marvel that could convert from gun to umbrella, shield, ladder, or whatever was necessary.

It may not have been groundbreaking in terms of story or animation, but Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse was still a favorite of many kids, who delighted in seeing a merging of their two favorite types of cartoons: talking animals and superheroes.

The series stayed on the air for only one season, but reruns were dusted off and shown in syndication after the prime-time Batman achieved its huge success later in the decade.

I've checked out the page that honors "The Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse" TV Cartoons at your site. The page does honor the films..but? There is an inaccuracy with the information about the actor..who did the voices for the lead characters. The page list Mr.Bob McFadden as the voices for "CC & MM"..with all due respect..that is not correct. Mr.Dallas McKennon is the actor..who did all of the voices for the characters..for "The Adventures Of Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse".. not just the voices for the two superheroes..Mr.McKennon..also did the voices for"The Police Chief Of Empire City","Professor Noodle Stroodle", "The Frog","Harry Ape","Robber Rabbit","Rodney Rodent","Foxy Fox", "Big Shot & Little Shot","Outrageous Cat","The Black Cat","Professor Shaggy Dog" and"Darrell Hambone". I hope that you might add this extra info to "The Coureagous Cat & Minute Mouse"page of your website?
