Cancellation

The first season of Catwalk was rerun on YTV in Canada for four consecutive years. Season 1 comprised 24 episodes. The majority of the second-season episodes were never aired due to a licensing conflict between MTV Networks and the original creator of the show, Adam Kidron, and remain unseen.

  • In 1992, a Connecticut-based band also named Catwalk sued over the right to use the name.
