Seven years after his feature film debut, Felix The Cat returned to television, this time in a Saturday morning series for CBS that took him back to his roots in the silent era, except that, yes, there was dialogue.
Phil Roman obtained a license for The Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat, which lasted two seasons near the back end of CBS' lineup. Thom Adcox-Hernandez (Gargoyles, ex-Falcon Crest) landed the title role, but was never the long term plan. In season 2, Charlie Adler (ex-Tiny Toon Adventures) took over the role. However, declining ratings resulted in the series cancellation.
There are very few videos available, and most of them have German title cards, though the content otherwise remains the same. This sample video was culled from a broadcast on CBS affiliate WCAX, and comes complete with commercials.
Rating: B.
