Part One: Opening
Good evening, and welcome to Blastoons! on Universal Kids. Tonight, we're playing a game of the cat and mouse, with Herman and Katnip.

Herman Mouse was created, during World War II. In fact, Herman had already been established, long before he eventually teamed up with Paramount's biggest feline, Katnip.

Herman debut in 1944's The Henpecked Rooster. In his first few cartoons, Herman was a country mouse, living on a farm, as the guardian of the sloppy rooster, Henry.

Then, three years later in Naughty But Mice, Herman took his new role, as a city mouse.

It wasn't until 1950, that Seymour Kneitel and Izzy Sparber teamed up their streetwise mouse, with his new adversary, Katnip.

Herman and Katnip was Paramount's answer to MGM's Oscar-winning duo of Tom and Jerry.

This 1950 cartoon was entitled, Mice Meeting You.
