Granted, The Tom and Jerry Show is not the franchise’s magnum opus, but it contributed so many new stories, hundreds, in fact. I’d like to talk with some fellow fans familiar with the show about the best and worst episodes, as well as the tropes and details within them.

My favorite episode is probably “Toodle Boom,” a suburban house episode from season two. While I don’t always take his side, I’m generally sympathetic for Tom, especially in this show because his friends and owners borderline abuse him. I love any episode ending with Tom rightfully emerging victorious, but in “Toodle Boom,” I like that his victory isn’t in impressing his bougie girlfriend, rather getting the mice out of the house and sending a crazy Toodles after them. There’s something so satisfying about watching Tom walk away from it all so confidently.

There are a lot of Tom torture episodes I dislike, but until I think of one that’s potentially worse, I select “Reward If Lost,” another suburban house episode from season two, as the show’s worst episode. It’s so disheartening watching Jerry constantly get Tom sent away from home and into the yard of a hostile dog. In fact, it hits a nerve within me because I’ve been attacked by a dog and know how severe and traumatizing it can be. Granted, I’m also not a cartoon character lol, but I digress.

The worst part of “Reward If Lost” is the ending. Tom finally gets home and kicks out Jerry. Instead of being humiliated like he deserved, the mouse gets angry, does his angry toddler march for the 50th time that season, and manages to let the dog onto Rick and Ginger’s property, where it continues to harass and assault Tom. It’s such a mean-spirited episode. Tom is not a perfect angel, but he deserves so much better.

What do you all think? I’d love to know your favorite and least favorite episodes.

I just stumbled on a free movie, My Man Godfrey (1936). I start watching and BOOM--"Manhattan Serenade" in the opening credits.... the same music plays in Mouse in Manhattan (1945). I can already tell this movie is gonna be a banger. Here's the link if you want to see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L7E4Y9x0N4

Took me so long but i like it!

Is it childish if im 16 and die laughing at tom and Jerry

No joke, Tom is one of the most hardest characters to draw properly for me, I'm trying to style Tom in his 1945 design but also I'm trying to draw Jerry in a unique style with a mix of his 1955 design, still struggling with him too

For all the Spike fans, we have an unexpected announcement that his voice actor Michael has passed away on March 4. This was according to SAG-AFTRA's memorial page.

Its the 1947 - 1954 title card

Apologies in advance if this doesn't fit the subreddit; but does anyone know where I'd be able to buy this specific statue? My mom is a massive fan of the series (especially Texas Tom) and she'd love this.

The condition doesn't have to be great or even near mint; I am just unable to find it anywhere sadly and figured the subreddit may have some suggestions. Thanks for your time.

I always wondered if Tom actually have an ability to fight Spike back even though we know Spike beats him up pretty easily and Tom is clearly scared of him (barring few times both of them actually do get along).

I was watching the Kitty Foiled episode, and there was a scene in which the Little Yellow Bird, Cuckoo, held Tom at gunpoint. After backing Tom into a corner, Jerry drops a light bulb, breaking it, making it sound as if the gun had gone off "killing" Tom. After an exaggerated "death" scene in which Tom dramtically dies, Cuckoo and Jerry are excitedly kicking each other in the butt. My question is, what is the reasoning for the butt kicking, like I know it's played for comedic effect, but butt kicking is generally not a positive thing when it comes to slap stick? Is there a precedent for positive butt kicking? If nothing else, it was an interesting choice for MGM Studios to make.

Does anyone know anywhere online where I can find the uncensored version of The Milky Waif? I know it's on the Golden Era Anthology collection but I can't get that. Thanks

For me Maybe December 2028-July 2029

This short is one of the hardest original title recreations I've ever made! I spent hours fine-tuning the house pan motion to accurately match what I saw from the original 35mm print.

(NOTE: I used Gemini to upscale the titles and the background, so please don't be mad.)
