Getting Schooled: The Cat in The Hat Knows a Lot About That (2010)

 Dr. Seuss' The Cat in The Hat returned to television, and animated form, with a new PBS series that launched in 2010, and ended production in 2018.

Actor-singer-comedian Martin Short, currently starring in Only Murders in The Building and a series of Wells Fargo ads, both with Steve Martin, has the title role as The Cat, whose aides, Thing 1 & Thing 2, are along for the ride, and, contrary to the original story, 1st adapted by Chuck Jones in 1971, the goldfish is now one of The Cat's pets, too, and changes colors on whim.

Sally and her new friend, Nick, an African American, are The Cat's students. Nick was created for this show for the sake of cultural diversity.

From Season 2, which stretched over 3 years (2012-5), here's the Christmas show.

Rating: A-.
