Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron

In a 2009 interview with Lance Falk (Writer / Design Coordinator) he said that the way he heard about the reason behind the cancellation of "SWAT Kats" was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kids. When it got canceled, there was a paragraph from Turner in "Entertainment Weekly" (early 1995) entitled "Ted's Excellent Speaking Engagement" concerning cartoon violence: "We have more cartoons than anybody: 'The Flintstones', 'The Jetsons', 'The Smurfs', 'Scooby-Doo'. They're nonviolent. We don't have to worry that we're encouraging kids to kill each other--like SOME of the other cartoon programs do".

Before the openings, there would be clips of the episode to air with Razor's voice saying "Today on Swat Kats..." In later years and on Cartoon Network, they stopped showing them.
