Just to give you an idea of what this season includes, here’s a summary of some of the episodes. In "Harasslin’ Match," we get to meet Winslow’s niece Brat and nephew Runt. Apparently meanness is a Winslow family trait. Winslow is going to have his hands full when they come to visit. He’s even going to require CatDog’s help! We finally get to see the inside of Winslow’s domain in "CatDog in Winslowland." All I have to say is that it is a creepy place with the same dimensions as the Tardis! In "Cat Gone Bad," Cat takes up with some alley cats that move in next door. They are beatniks and for some reason, the music just takes him in. He becomes known as Scat Cat. Dog likes the change at first, but when Cat shirks all responsibility, Dog has to take on all the chores, bills, etc. It goes so far that Dog tries to ground Cat!
"The Old CatDog and the Sea" brings Tallulah (the movie-star cat that Cat is in love with) back. Cat wants to win a fishing contest so that he can win a cruise with her. Cat embellishes his story just a bit to try and make it more exciting. But as we all know, that never ends well, especially not when Dog tries to help add to it! In "Cone Dog," poor Dog has to wear the cone of shame that we’ve seen on so many dogs in real life. Really, it is to protect Dog from a tick bite (not something that you would normally use a cone for), but Cat figures out that the Cone has another use. It works like a microphone so that Cat can hear Winslow talking about all his plans to harass CatDog, giving Cat the advantage for once. Not only can he hear Winslow, but he can spy on pretty much anyone that he wants to. This is definitely not an advantage that someone like Cat should have.
In "Vexed of Kin," CatDog’s parents come to visit. You’d think this would be a happy occasion, but given the continual rivalry between these two siblings (along with some words from Winslow), the family reunion turns into a competition between Cat and Dog to see which one their parents like best, with obviously disastrous results. The final episode of the series is called "Meat Dog’s Friends." Cat informs Dog that meat doesn’t grow on trees, but instead comes from animals. Dog is horrified to learn that he has been eating animals. He is visited by the spirits of three animals that he has eaten in a spoof of A Christmas Carol. It’s actually a pretty disturbing episode if you think about it, especially when you see the food’s side of the story.
In my opinion, this DVD set is my least favorite of them. It is the shortest and you really don’t get to see many of the other characters in the series. But if you want to complete your collection, then you will definitely need b>CatDog: The Final Season to do so.
