![]() ![]() In Tom and Jerry Tales, Tom and Jerry are up to their usual shenanigans in our modern day world. ![]() In many of the shorts, you can see Tom, Jerry and the other characters such as Spike, listening to the old radio, dealing with 1940’s vacuum cleaners, and almost getting hit by old 1940’s vehicles. I mean, there are a couple of episodes where Tom and Jerry shorts take place during the medieval times, the french revolution, and even in the old wild west, but aside from those, the show mainly took place during the 40’s. With the original show, created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tom and Jerry takes place mostly in the 1940’s. With these key differences in mind, there does come the question of whether Tom and Jerry Tales delivers or disappoints. The key differences between Tom and Jerry and Tom and Jerry Tales lie in the plots of the short episodes, the rivalry between Tom and Jerry, and the time periods in which the shows take place. After watching the Tom and Jerry Tales hour a few times over the break, I took note of some very distinct differences between the old show and the new one. Just from what I saw on the commercial, it looked like Tom and Jerry had a very new atmosphere. Now, while Tom and Jerry was created originally in 1940, Tom and Jerry Tales was created in 2006, and yet I somehow have never heard of or seen Tom and Jerry Tales. Then, I saw a commercial for something called Tom and Jerry Tales. I was really happy to know that Cartoon Network didn’t go and pull another show off the air that I loved and grew up with. It ran on Cartoon Network, and I was surprised to see that Tom and Jerry had kept its noon-time slot on the network after over a decade. That full hour of Tom and Jerry shorts was nostalgic. It had been a long time since I had seen Tom and Jerry, so I was glad to sit back and watch it all again. During spring break a few weeks ago, I was able to catch some episodes of Tom and Jerry at noon on the weekdays. ![]()
