Top Cat

Life in a New York alley was never as much fun as in this 1961 animated series that follows the many get-rich-quick schemes of a band of streetwise felines. Top Cat, a clever hustler whose close friends get to call him TC, leads his faithful followers Benny the Ball, Choo Choo, Brain, Fancy-Fancy and Spook in assorted scams, gambling activities and harebrained stunts, all in the pursuit of a fast dollar. Keeping an eye on things is Officer Dibble, a beat cop who has his hands full trying to break up TC's shenanigans.
