I've thought about this show so often, and no one ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention it. I was 10 years old when this was on, and was so impressed with how cool it was. It Takes a Thief was a sad substitute. Would LOVE to see this on some classic television station some time. What I'm having trouble reconciling is the Robert Loggia I now see with the cool (dare I say, sexy) guy I remember being in this show! How funny. I'm afraid the brief run of the series - only 1 season - makes it commercially unattractive, both for reruns on television and for a DVD - not enough potential for profit. Too bad. So many of the shows from that era were really "white bread," and this was different and edgy, as I remember it.

this is the series that introduced me to the concepts of "jazz" and "cool"! i, too, was surprised that the series didn't become a greater success! was it too sophisticated for middle America? perhaps the intellect needed to appreciate the smoky complexities of jazz were hard to appreciate for a culture that was having an affair with Pat Boone!the nightclub scenes! talk about sultry lighting! wow! it delivered the environment of the late night/last set jazz club that one is lucky to experience in real life! to say the very least, it influenced my journey of life & what to look for/seek along the way. cool jazz & the world it lives in, is there anything better? i've never seen anything remotely like this on TV since! it stands alone! "It Takes A Thief" cannot touch it! its like comparing exotic oranges to apples. does anyone know where it's available for sale on DVD? i can be reached at: [email protected] thank you.

Dear Sirs-- October 1st, 2006 I also remember seeing the television series T.H.E. CAT. I am almost in exact concurrence with the "commentator" Ephraim's daughter. What is even move coincidental, my father's Hebrew name is "Ephraim". We pronounce it E-Froy-I'm. So, i guess i am Epraim's Son. What a coincidence! I also remember the original credits, and the way the song was done. And how the film faded into obscurity. The sculpting of the main character's personality--for the series--his adaptability/versatility with people--reflective of his adaptability/versatility with difficult situations. Camera work, innovative for it's time. The series greatness, to some degree, comes from its ability to separate itself from standardized formats. --------------------------------------------Ephraim's Son

Please, if anyone has information on how to get copies of the Cat program, please contact me ASAP. This was my Favorite show. It took me YEARS just to find this site.(Just got computer) I have lost money betting that this program did exist,have been laughed at and finally told that it was just my childhood imagination. THANKS & God Bless
