The DJ KAT Show / Opening Titles 

I'm 57 years old and i remember watching the show every sunday morning in the late 1980's on channel 5 here in new york city

I still remember his mailing address where you can send fan mail. They used to post it at the end of the show. DJ Kat Show P.O. Box 10034 New York, NY 10021

Wow, this really takes me back. I remember that the Fox Kids Club actually had a date where they would no longer take applications. A limited time only fan club.

Wow this takes me back to like 1986 or 1987 when i was a young little dude living in Queens, NYC...Fox 5 was the shit!

An American version of The DJ Kat Show debuted on WNYW in New York City on 28 November 1987. The series, which was set against the backdrop of a makeshift clubhouse in the basement of the television station, had the wisecracking cat puppet and his comedy assistant, Elizabeth Rose, reading viewers mail and engaging in comedy skits in between reruns of Woody Woodpecker and Looney Tunes movie cartoons. DJ Kat always wanted to be "the star" and did everything to convince "the boss" (TV station owners) that he was the "biggest star" of the TV station. Comic actor and puppeteer Jim Martin created the American version, manipulated, and voiced the "DJ Kat" character. Steve Howard was the producer who also contributed to the writing. The wrap-arounds were story-arc'd. As time went on, the cartoons were edited to allow room for more live-action. Martin and Rose would leave the series and entertainer/songwriter/scriptwriter and puppeteer Craig Marin and comic actress and mimic Carmen De La Paz would succeed the previous pair as the series' second and last hosts/performers. The DJ Kat Show was seen on Saturday mornings until Saturday 26 December 1987, shifting to a Sunday morning timeslot starting on 3 January 1988. The cartoons were dropped and the programs focused on stories that had DJ and "Jennifer Davis" (De La Paz) trying to host the show despite problems created by their stingy and mean boss "Mr. Midas G. Merkle" and other troublemakers. The DJ Kat Show would remain on WNYW until 24 December 1988. DJ and the other Flexitoon puppets would be seen in wraparound segments during the station's weekday afternoon cartoon programming from then until March 1991 (around the time the Fox Kids Network launched on weekdays).

This was the best part of my Sunday mornings for a while.

LOVED this series when I was little. I even wrote in once

I'm 57 years old and I remember watching this show every Sunday morning

I signed up for the fox kids club. That came with stickers a book and autograph dj kat lol those were the days.

I remember this would come on Sunday mornings back in the day.

I watched this all the time, as a kid, on Sky channel. Good, good times...

Had this on Fox when I was little. ^^

I loved ❤ this show

When I was a kid I love this show DJ Kat on Fox 5 will it be on dvd soon I hope so, so I can buy it at fye or at walmart.from Edwin Laino

Oh! I rememb when DJ Kat did a commercial where he raps and says "so get out of your tree", anyone remember that? I'm looking for it but nowhere on RU-vid so far. (2024)

holy crap, almost forgot about this! blast from the past

DJ Kat Was Fox Kids' 1st & Only Puppet VJ.

That was Fun Factory on Sky Channel

this is the new season of DJ Kat when Elizabeth Rose got the boot 4 Jennifer

this is a rare classic

Hooray! Finally, I get to relive this part of my childhood! ^^

This is not the original DJ Kat or the original theme. I specifically remember how much angrier and dirtier he was and the theme not having any rap elements to it. Instead it was guitar-centric and I specifically remember the line "DeeeeeJaaaaay Kat and this is my show" (the DJ was really elongated) sung by DJ Kat himself. I have yet to find the original American intro on youtube.

I watched this show on channel 5 here in nyc when cartoons were still on tv on sunday(and saturday) mornings

oh jesus... remember the time!

My Sunday mornings.

My favorite show as a kid. Best part was that I won 4 tickets to the Nintendo Power Fest from this show. Got to see Super Mario 3 before anyone else!

Man childhood memories, I remember when the original theme song was Michael Jackson's Bad song. Good times!

God that takes me back to me early teens

I REMEMBER THIS ALOT OF PPL DONT GUESS CAUSE I WATCH ALOT OF TV THEN GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY

Yes, I suppose you improved greatly on the character than what the Europeans had (or didn't try to implement on their own). It's quite fascinating looking back on this and noticing those differences.

@derekhouston4 Can't answer your question about Carmen de la Paz, but as for what's going on with the right hand, that's normally how the puppeteer controls the puppet.

There was also a show where walrus was a presenter but i cant remember name.

I loved this show as a kid, I use to write in and I even had DJ Kat post cards they send me. Sadly, I no longer have them. In the second season they totally ruined the show, The new voice was far too diffrent and the entire show was changed far too much for a kids show. But I have great memories of it, you'll never see a show like this again on Sunday mornings on broadcast TV.

this will be lot of countryside his own the great daytime is start everyday use morning here's my friend is a nicely children memories is they're 11 years this year and then 37 year's live and UK but is yuong life of Hungary 😻😸

Wow...childhood flashbacks up in this bitch

Man, I thought he was the coolest thing... I’d enter my name as dj kat on every game we played 🤦🏾‍♂️

Was this American version of D.J. Kat based upon the British series of the same name?

DJ Kat sunday mornings 9:30.

This is the American version of DJ Kat, and in reality, the "overseas" character was a whole lot rattier with a less sophisticated construction. Check them out sie by side on RU-vid and you'll see.

and I use to think this was cool?...😎yeah I was lame lol

Damn I hate it as a kid! Always wished straight to cartoons instead of his speech.

was the another girl that was with him before this girl I seem to engender dj kat "firing" one of the girls

what a weird fuckin show

but linda de mol was hotter! i still love that women

The original theme song was a lot better.
