Catwalk (Canadian TV series)

Catwalk is a Canadian musical drama television series that ran for 49 episodes on the YTV network from 1992 until 1994. The series' first season aired in syndication in the United States, while the second season aired on MTV.

The series is based around six twenty-something adults who formed a band named Catwalk. The episodes focus on the band's personal relationships and struggles to land a record deal, while also featuring their musical performances in nightclubs. Their main gathering place is a downtown loft.

Singer/guitarist Johnnie Camden (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) is at the focal part of the show; it is in his loft where the band gathers to rehearse. Relationships are also a major part of the show; there are two couples within the cast, as Daisy (Neve Campbell) dates the group's manager Billy K., and Mary (Kelli Taylor) dates the drummer Jesse (Paul Popowich). The relationship is tumultuous and the couple broke up until the end of the first season.

The second season features a new character, Maggi (Nicole de Boer), who in the first season (in the episode "Toxic Love") became briefly involved with lead guitarist Johnnie Camden, causing tension within the band.

The first season music was done by Rupert Gayle and Orin Isaacs. The second season on MTV was done by Steve Tyrell (The Heights and California Dreams) and his late wife, Stephanie Tyrell (also The Heights). A soundtrack from the second season was released on Atlantic Records and also featured performances, in addition to "Catwalk" (series star Lisa Butler and singer Barry Coffing as the singing role of Frank Cafla), from former The Heights star Jamie Walters, Vonda Shepard, Buffalo Tom, The Lemonheads, and Intro.

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.
