''Black Cat Detective'' (also known as Hei Mao Jing Zhang, or, Cpt. Black, or 黑猫警长) is a Chinese Animated Children's television show of the mid 80's (1984-1987), Beloved by children and adults alike. The show largely consists of Hei Mao kicking ass and taking names. Hei Mao is not unlike [[Dirty Harry]], except that instead of being a cop who is committed to justice but not the rules, he's committed to justice in a world that ''has'' no rules. The other most frequent character seems to be known only as "Monoear", a mouse with a bandage on his head. The mice, on the whole, are thieving, evil, dirty and greedy. The show is quite different from American shows, because characters, both good and bad, frequently get [[Killed Off for Real]]. A couple of baby animals get eaten alive by an eagle, let's see... Oh yeah, he has a totally [[Badass Crew]] of other cats and pigeons.
