not sure this is true, the animated series is long gone and hardly ever shown on television while the strip is still running


* AdaptationDisplacement: The animated series is more well-remembered than the comic strip.

Added DiffLines:

* UnconvincinglyUnpopularCharacter: You'd think a guy like Riff-Raff would have it made, given he's acknowledged as one of the toughest cats in Westfinster, has good looks, street savvy enough that he's the leader of his own gang, and has a hottie ''[[DudeMagnet like Cleo]]'' as his girlfriend. Yet, despite all that he has going for him, he's still a down-and-out alley cat who lives in a junkyard and his plans fail half the time because [[SurroundedByIdiots his gang is dimwitted]].

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Given that the show was partially made in France, the French got the entire show on DVD years before America because of this trope. Also, there were some toy figurines of The Catillac Cats produced in France. Even a toy Cadillac car that could be changed into a hovercraft, and trailer, just like in the show. If you're lucky enough you can find these up for auction on Website/EBay.

** "Kitten Smitten" presents a lost kitten who befriends Heathcliff, who couldn't leave him behind and alone, due to his cute crying face. In the end, after finally finding his mom, the kitten jumps to Hethcliffs arms in a very affectionate hug.
** There was one episode where Heatchliff, while running away from Mr.Schultz, the Fish Store owner, finds out that almost made him being ran over by a car. He starts crying, looking too regretful of what could have happened because of him.
** Almost every time the Catillac Cats make Mungo cry, specially during "Mungo Gets No Respect", where he even decides to quit the gang.
** Again with Mungo, in the series finale, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", when Mingo, his younger brother arrives to be taken under his care. But he's shown to have a problematic behaviour. Later, he befriends a rival gang of the Catillac Cats, so Mungo tells him that he's free to go where he feels or stay with him, but Mingo leaves for the other gang, which leaves Mungo alone and crying for the night. Next day, the CC receive a challenge from the other gang and Mungo and Mingo are about to fight, but Mingo stops, while in tears says that he cannot fight his own brother. The enemy gang leaves and Mingo returns with Mungo.

Must be unintentional. If embodies and they have such legit traits than not this.


* DesignatedHero: Heathcliff, to the point of being a borderline VillainProtagonist. The series repeatedly emphasises the fact that he's the neighborhood bully, from its intro song, to multiple episodes that show him antagonizing nearly everyone from the fishstore owner, and even Spike, oftentimes without provocation. But he's shown to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a "good guy" beneath it all]] in his more heroic moments.
* {{Designated Villain}}s: Hector, Wordsworth, and Mungo usually serve as antagonists whenever they appear in Heathcliff's segments. But, like Heathcliff, they occasionally show they're not really bad guys.

No longer a trope


* AcceptableTargets: The British. If you see a character talking with a British accent, chances are he or she will be rich, snobby, an EvilBrit, or some combination of the three.

* AwesomeEgo: Riff-Raff, albeit mostly justified by the fact that he's acknowledged as one of the toughest cats in Westfinster, [[TheSmartGuy savvy enough]] to be the leader of his own street gang, and has a babe ''[[SexyCatPerson like Cleo]]'' as his girlfriend. With all of that going for him, ''who wouldn't'' be a little full of themselves?
