Counterfeit Cat, the golden Teletoon show.

Warning: Spoilers
Counterfiet Cat is a very sophisticated cartoon, and just screams different then all the other cartoons currently airing on Teletoon and Disney XD.
It's defiantly a cartoon i would rate very similar to a show like Invader Zim as both are about creatures who inhabit earth and live an average suburban life there. Except, I'm not a big invader Zim fan, but Counterfeit Cat is something I really enjoy.
The show has a wide variety of very interesting and likable characters, Gark being my favourite. Gark is just a ball of enthusiastic and positive energy, while Max is a bit selfish at times, is greatly voiced and has a good heart. Betty is also a very interesting character. She's supposed to be your average sweet-loving Granny, but when in hindsight, She's insane! She has dreams about being a secret agent and has stunt weekends and hangs out with her "homies'.
The animation is very beautiful and colourful to look at. It looks like Pig Goat Banana Cricket, but we all know how hideous that cartoon is. They also add a lot of effort into the animation, like the way Gark blinks.
The humour and lines are also very funny and dark. The plots are very crazy, but are also kind of dark. Like one episode I remember watching is how Max's other housecat brother died and came back to life again...and kept dying!
Overall, Counterfeit Cat is a masterpiece, and deserves more attention. 10/10 for me, and I hope it gets re-newed for another season. I mean, lets hope Teletoon can green light more shows that are great...instead of bad shows like Atomic Puppet and Winston StienBurger and sir dudley ding dong,..

Only one series?

Sometimes a cartoon show will come along that is completely original and brilliant. There was Gravity Falls and now there is Counterfeit Cat. Pure genius, but only one series made. Such a shame.
Do yourself a favour, if you see it in the listings give is a watch.

Wasted on kids

Occasionally a cartoon series comes along that is absolutely wasted on kids and really is best appreciated by adults with in jokes and characters with personality traits children are too young to understand and Counterfeit Cat is one of those.
I flicked onto this cartoon late one night on Disney Life and at first I thought it was another run of the mill kids cartoon, but, I soon realised it was hardly that. It can be very dark humour at times and there are references that will go over all children's heads and many adults too.
I absolutely love it, Max is so flawed and, yet, so adorable as he is like so many real cats. Gark, the little alien disguised as a cat who lives with Max and his pet parent, Betty, is complex despite appearing cute. The voice actors are all excellent, especially Marc Wootton who voices Max.
What more can I say except if you come across it on TV or YouTube give it a chance. And Disney XD, who had a hand in production, please put it on Disney Life.
