"Top Cat" Debuts 50 Years Ago Today



Lightning didn't strike twice for Hanna-Barbera, whose first prime-time cartoon series, The Flintstones, which debuted in September 1960, ran for six seasons. It was among the Nielsen Top 25 shows in its first two seasons.

Top Cat lasted for a single season in prime time, after which its 30 episodes found a home on Saturday morning for the remainder of the decade.

I confess to being a regular viewer during its year in prime time.
